  • Patent number: 11604828
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for resolving a meaning of an ambiguous calendar entry and recommending broadcast media based on the meaning. To this end, a media guidance application may detect a calendar entry specific to a user, and determine that the calendar entry is ambiguous with respect to an associated period of time. In response to determining that the calendar entry is ambiguous with respect to the associated period of time, the media guidance application may determine characteristics of the calendar entry and the user, and compute an estimated range of time corresponding to the calendar entry based on the characteristic of the calendar entry and the characteristic of the user. The media guidance application may then generate for display a recommendation of broadcast media based on the estimated range of time.

  • Patent number: 11550869
    Abstract: Methods and systems for rending medical images within a web browser application. The web browser application retrieves a worklist and automatically determines an image study from the worklist to be cached. The web browser application retrieves at least one medical image included in the image study. The web browser application creates a web database for storing the at least one medical image within the browser application. When a user selects a medical image for display within the web browser, the web browser application determines whether the medical image is stored in the web database. When the medical image is stored in the web database, the web browser application retrieves the medical image from the web database. When the medical image is not stored in the web database, the web browser application retrieves the medical image from a remote image repository.

  • Patent number: 11544238
    Abstract: Agents are configured to collect data from terminals and send the data in real time to a data integrator. The data integrator identifies the data types and processes custom aggregation on select ones of data types from the data. The data and the output of any aggregations are translated to a select output format and sent to one or more select resources for further processing. The data integrator determines when to send the data and the output from any aggregation in the select output format to the one more select resources based on a defined condition. In an embodiment, the data integrator sends the data and output from any aggregation in real time to at least one of the one or more select resources.

  • Patent number: 11514044
    Abstract: Embodiments allow automated provisioning of a plan upgrade for databases hosted in storage environments. A database is hosted in a shared storage environment according an existing plan, based upon consumption of available system resources (e.g., processing, I/O, memory, disk). An agent periodically issues requests for information relevant to database behavior (e.g., performance metrics, query logs, and/or knob settings). The agent collects the received information (e.g., via a domain socket), performing analysis thereon to predict whether future database activity is expected remain within the existing plan. Such analysis can include but is not limited to compiling statistics, and calculating values such as entropy, information divergence, and/or adjusted settings for database knobs. Based upon this analysis, the agent communicates a recommendation including a plan update and supporting statistics.
