  • Patent number: 11182361
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating iterative widening search for designing chemical compounds are provided. A computer-implemented method can comprise receiving, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, an indication of a constrained structure portion of a chemical compound and a first unconstrained structure portion of the chemical compound. The method can also comprise determining, by the system, a second unconstrained structure portion for the chemical compound based on a determination that the second unconstrained structure portion satisfies a defined condition related to a difference between the first unconstrained structure portion and the second unconstrained structure portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11023833
    Abstract: A pro-active mobile refueling service uses a multiple agents and targets solution to assign mobile service agents to re-fuel moving vehicles. A subscription service continually monitors the fuel consumption and fuel reserves of subscribed moving vehicles to predict when a subscribed vehicle will need fuel replenishing.

  • Patent number: 10356164
    Abstract: A method of point of interest (POI) load balancing includes storing load profile data of a plurality of POIs, monitoring a position of a mobile device, determining an arrival of the mobile device at a first POI of the plurality of POIs, measuring a duration of stay of the mobile device at the first POI, determining whether the duration of stay of the mobile device at the first POI exceeds a preset time threshold for the first POI, and sending an incentive for a second POI of the plurality of POIs to the mobile device upon the mobile device exceeding the preset time threshold for the first POI.

  • Patent number: 8381218
    Abstract: Managing groups of entities is described. In an embodiment an administrator manages operations on a plurality of entities by constructing a management scenario which defines tasks to be applied on a group of entities. In an example the management scenario includes information on dependencies between entities and information on entity attributes, for example operating system version or CPU usage. In an embodiment an entity management engine converts the tasks and dependencies in the scenario to a management plan. In an example the management plan is a list of operations and conditions to be respected in applying an operation to an entity. In an embodiment the plan can be validated to ensure there are no conflicts. In an embodiment the entity management engine also comprises a scheduler which runs tasks contained in the plan and monitors their outcome.
