  • Patent number: 11972201
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a computing system computes a hierarchical entity data model to facilitate autocompleting forms by generating an electronic schema extraction from an electronic form lacking data for one or more fields. The computing system generates an electronic schema including an input category and input field elements. The computing system accesses a hierarchical entity-data model including and entity category and entity-data elements. The computing system identifies associations between the entity category and input category based on semantic matching including text of an entity category label and an input field category label or matching a number of fields within an entity category to an input category. The computing system verifies the association by applying a natural language processing engine to the input field elements and the entity-data elements. The computing system autocompletes one or more input field elements with entity data from one or more of the entity-data elements.

  • Patent number: 11947884
    Abstract: An industrial CAD system is supplemented with features that allow a developer to easily convert a mechanical CAD model of an automation system to a dynamic digital twin capable of simulation within a simulation platform, including simulation of fluid dynamics throughout the system. The features allow the user to label selected elements of a mechanical CAD drawing with “aspects” within the CAD environment, and to add fluid models representing fluids that travel through or are processed by the system. Based on these aspect labels and fluid models, the CAD platform transforms the mechanical CAD model into a dynamic digital twin that can be exported to a simulation and testing platform to facilitate simulation of both machine operation and fluid dynamics.

  • Patent number: 11947618
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for maintaining a collection service for websites. A user preference for content desired to be viewed by the user subscribed to the collection service is acquired. Content may then be searched and reviewed both within and outside a website subscribed to the service by the collection service to identify the content of interest to the user using an artificial intelligence system based on the acquired user preference and a rule set. The artificial intelligence system is a learning system that learns the content of interest to the user based on the user's actions. The identified content of interest is then presented to the user in a container within the website subscribed to the service, where the container is a “reusable construct” in that it may appear to the user within any subscribed website.
