  • Patent number: 11609888
    Abstract: Methods and systems for simplifying data collected from assets are provided. An example method involves receiving a set of simplified data at a server. The simplified set of data is generated by application of a dataset simplification algorithm on raw data obtained from a data source at an asset upon satisfaction of a data logging trigger, wherein the dataset simplification algorithm causes interpolation error within the simplified set of data to be limited by an upper bound that is fixed across the simplified set of data. The method further involves receiving a request for a status of the asset and interpolating a status of the asset based on the simplified set of data in response to the request.

  • Patent number: 11599554
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes tracking changes to a stale component using a synchronization bitmap. A first component of a plurality of mirrored components of the distributed data object becomes available from an unavailable state, and a stale log sequence number (LSN) and a last committed LSN are identified. A synchronization bitmap of the first component associated with a range of LSNs (e.g., from the stale LSN to the last committed LSN) is created and configured to track changes to data blocks of the first component. A second component is identified based on the second component including a tracking bitmap associated with an LSN that matches the stale LSN of the first component. The first component is synchronized with data from the second component based on, wherein the synchronizing includes updating the synchronization bitmap to track changes made to data blocks of the first component.

  • Patent number: 11574020
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying content for an input query are presented. A mapping model is trained to map elements of an input query embedding vector for a received query into one or more elements of a destination embedding vector. In response to receiving an input query, an input query embedding vector is generated that projects into an input query embedding space. The input query embedding vector is processed by the mapping model to map the input query embedding vector into one or more elements of a destination embedding vector in a destination embedding space, resulting in a partial destination embedding vector. Items of a corpus of content are projected into the destination embedding space and the partial destination embedding vector is also projected into the destination embedding space. A similarity measure determines the most-similar items to the partial destination embedding vector and at least some of the most-similar items are returned in response to the input query.
