Patent number: 11526520Abstract: An action framework system provides context-based actions in association with a source application. The source application detects selection of a content element presented by the source application. The content element is associated with an application identifier identifying a target application and an action identifier identifying an operation to be executed by the target application on the content element. The target application identified by the application identifier is executed to perform the operation identified by the action identifier on the content element, responsive to detection of the selection of the content element. In one implementation, the source application is a search feature providing different contexts of search results (e.g., from a local file system search, a local application content search, a Web search, a remote application content search).Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Max Glenn Morris, Sashi Raghupathy, Manoj Kumar Biswas, Amy Rambhia, Daniel Oliver, Robert Emmett Kolba, Jr., Sandy Wong

Patent number: 11469772Abstract: A method, system, and program product accesses chunks of data identifying data elements. A mask is used to identify a position of the data elements that have zero values and that have non-zero values. The data elements are processed based on the mask. For compression of data, data elements in chunks of data that have zero values and that have non-zero values are determined. A mask is used to identify a position of the data elements that have zero values and that have non-zero values. The data elements in the chunks of data having zero values are removed. The data elements having non-zero values are packed into the chunks to form the compressed data. For decompressing the data, zero-value data elements are added in positions in the chunks of data according to the mask to form uncompressed data.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Inventors: Joshua Huang, Hsilin Huang

Patent number: 11449499Abstract: A system and method uses a set of processors that each perform a logic function to identify portions of a data source meeting a criteria. Each logic function is performed against a row of a column of the data source, and a value that is derived from the criteria for that logic function, which is also derived from the criteria. The output of each of the logic functions is applied as an address to a table that has been configured to read true at the addresses corresponding to the criteria being met, and false otherwise. Data from the row of the database table having a table value of true are retrieved from the data source.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Yellowbrick Data, Inc.Inventors: Adel Alsaadi, Paritosh Kulkarni, Jim Peterson

Patent number: 11409777Abstract: A user interface of an entity-centric knowledge discovery system presents an entity profile including a mix of structured and unstructured data relating to an entity. As a user refines the entity profile based on information gathered from various sources, the changing entity profile can be used as a substantially continuously updating query to search, retrieve, and rank new and pertinent information specifically relevant to the profiled entity. The platform described herein provide an active loop for refining an entity description and searching for additional information in which human input and machine-based algorithms can cooperate to more quickly build a comprehensive description of an entity of interest.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Adam Roberts, Max Kleiman-Weiner, John Randolph Frank, Brian Andrew Olson, David Zachary Maze, Andrew Richard Gallant, Joshua Joseph Marco Belanich, Thomas Michael DuBois

Patent number: 11386227Abstract: A permutation algorithm using modular arithmetic is applied to the cells of one or more specific fields of a database or other file type. This permutation reorders the cells of the specific field(s) without altering content of any individual cell, thereby hiding relationships between cells of the permuted field(s) and the other information in the associated records. The permutation algorithm may use modular addition and modular subtraction, in either order. Different permutation algorithms may use varying numbers of parameters. To locate a specific cell in a permuted field, the parameter(s) from the permutation, an identification of the specific record associated with the cell, and an identification of the specific permuted field are applied in a modular arithmetic operation. A specific record with which a specific cell in a permuted field is associated may be obtained by an inverse modular arithmetic operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: CyberAdjust, LLCInventor: Ronald M Harstad

Patent number: 11379517Abstract: A photography searching system that is used to organize, share, and/or output event photography for event participants. Best used for races or large events, the system helps to organize photographs using associated available data such as date, time, or location of where the photograph was taken, the name of an event participant, a number corresponding to a number worn by the event participant (bib number or participant number), a color corresponding to a clothing color worn by the event participant, as well as the net time it takes participants to complete a event, etc., also known as data search terms. A photographer will upload these photographs to the system, they will be sorted and categorized in the database, and as in most events, each event participant will have multiple photographs taken of them. This system presents an interface on which a user inputs at least one query parameter and relevant photos are then presented to them.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Inventor: Griffin Edward Kelly

Patent number: 11372937Abstract: Embodiments disclose a system that allows for improved generation of web requests for scraping that, because of the nature of the requests and time and manner they are sent out, appear more organic, as in human generated, than conventional automated scraping systems. The system then manages how a client request to scrape a target website is made to the site, masking the request in a manner that makes it appear to the Web server as if the request is not generated by an automated system. In this way, by appearing more organic, Web servers may be less likely to block requests from the disclosed system or may take longer to block requests from the disclosed system. By avoiding Web servers blocking requests and extending the lifetime of IP proxies before they are blocked, embodiments can use a limited IP proxy address space more efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2021Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Metacluster LT, UABInventors: Eivydas Vilcinskas, Arnas Petruskevicius, Giedrius Stalioraitis, Martynas Juravicius, Rimantas Stankevicius

Patent number: 11275726Abstract: A system and method for distributed exchange and transformation of structured data with reproducibility and complete provenance are described. Data enters the system through the plurality of data publishers that share data in the form of append-only historical logs of events. Plurality of parties can then collaborate on improving and enriching data by defining the transformation rules, forming a potentially distributed computational graph. Data from any stage of such graph can be accessed by plurality of consumers. Stream processing techniques are used to minimize the propagation latency of data through the graph. Bitemporal data modelling and determinism of transformations enable reproducibility and verifiability of the results. Every event that influences how data looks like is tracked in the temporal metadata which enables provenance and dataset evolution.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Kamu Data Inc.Inventors: Sergii Mikhtoniuk, Ozge Nilay Yalcin

Patent number: 11263243Abstract: Digital records are clustered and assigned unique individual identity across a plurality of data sources. Each record contains one or more tagged common properties, which belongs to an underlying identifiable entity. A special parameterized metric distance is calculated for all pairs of records. With adjustment of the metric parameters, the records are clustered based on a predetermined distance threshold. Based on the clustered records, the underlying identity associated with the records can be resolved.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: QUANTAVALUE L.L.C.Inventor: Jun Li
