  • Patent number: 11954143
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for obtaining and managing remote sensing data (e.g. Earth observation data). A remote sensing platform obtains imagery and other remote sensing data of the Earth and other planetary objects. The remote sensing platform includes the International Space Station, or manned and unmanned spacecraft or aircraft. A sensor captures observation data and transmits the data to ground stations on the Earth. A ground segment receives and stores the data. Users use an order management system to place orders for the observation data, which specify processing parameters for the remote sensing data. The remote sensing data is retrieved from storage is processed according to the parameters to generate a data product. This system provides tools for searching and analyzing the data, and for interacting with the system through an API. The system combines data that is produced by the remote sensing platform and by third parties.

  • Publication number: 20200151014
    Abstract: Methods and systems for forecasting upcoming values of time series are disclosed. A method includes receiving a time series data associated with a task to be managed by a managing agent at a regular interval of time. The method includes extracting one or more calendar-based features from a time series database table. The time series database table is prepared from the received time series data. The method includes processing the one or more calendar-based features and the time series data to generate one or more machine learning features. The method further includes developing a neural network forecasting model based on the one or more machine learning features using a neural network application.

  • Patent number: 10198750
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more server computing devices, receiving state data of a client computing device. The state data includes event data indicating events generated by or occurring at the client computing device and context data associated with the event data. The context data indicates device states of the client computing device that each coincide with one or more of the events and indicate a context of the one or more of the events. The method also includes, by one or more server computing devices, ordering the events and the device states in the event and context data into a state-data-review structure and analyzing the state-data-review structure to generate one or more recommendations on operation of the client computing device.

  • Patent number: 10104154
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes sending a request to a computing server from a mobile-client system for a multimedia object. The mobile-client system receives, from the computing server, a query in response to the request for SIM-card information of the mobile-client system. The mobile-client system executes an application in response to the query to access a SIM card of the mobile-client system and retrieve SIM-card information. The mobile-client system sends the retrieved SIM-card information to the computing server. The mobile-client system receives a multimedia object from the computing server, the multimedia object being customized based on the retrieved SIM-card information.

  • Patent number: 9679313
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for a multimedia object from a mobile-client system of a first user, wherein the request comprises http-header information of the mobile-client system, determining one or more attributes of the mobile-client system based at least on a social-graph information associated with the first user and the http-header information, wherein determining the one or more attributes comprises calculating a probability score the mobile-client system has the one or more attributes by comparing the social-graph information associated with the first user and the http-header information with a database of a social-networking system, and sending the multimedia object to the mobile-client system in response to the request, the multimedia object being customized based on at least the determined one or more attributes of the mobile-client system.
