  • Publication number: 20220215054
    Abstract: An illustrative computing system generates, based on a plurality of point-of-interest data records each including data representative of a distinct set of features for a distinct point-of-interest associated with a distinct geographic location, a graph data structure that includes the plurality of point-of-interest data records and a plurality of weighted feature relationships interconnecting the plurality of point-of-interest data records. The computing system generates one or more merged point-of-interest data records based on the graph data structure and provides the one or more merged point-of-interest data records to a mapping system to indicate one or more points-of-interest on a user interface map of a geographic area.

  • Publication number: 20220143855
    Abstract: A cable measurement system and cutter apparatus has a housing, a display device, a material conduit, a rotary encoder, a cutting tool handle a resistance member a movable cutting blade and a blade aperture. The cutter system is able to measure the length of a cable that passes through the material conduit which traverses through the housing. The display device is mounted onto the housing and is coupled to the rotary encoder which measures the length of cable passed through the housing. The encoder is mounted next to the conduit so that the cable is measured, and the length is displayed on the display device. one end of the cutting tool handle is rotatably mounted to the housing and the movable blade is mounted onto the opposite end of the handle. The blade is able to cut the cable by moving through the blade aperture which traverses through the conduit.

  • Patent number: 11308165
    Abstract: An exemplary point-of-interest merging system accesses point-of-interest data records. Each point-of-interest data record includes data representative of a distinct set of features for a distinct point-of-interest. The merging system generates, based on the distinct sets of features of the point-of-interest data records, a graph data structure that includes the point-of-interest data records and weighted feature relationships interconnecting the point-of-interest data records. The merging system clusters, based on the graph data structure, the point-of-interest data records into subset groups of point-of-interest data records. The merging system generates one or more merged point-of-interest data records based on the clustered subset groups of point-of-interest data records.

  • Publication number: 20210328879
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a topology of a network comprising a plurality of intermediary devices and intermediary paths. One method includes transmitting probes having a TTL value with a destination set to a destination device; receiving, for each probe transmitted, a response including an IP address of a responding device; determining whether more than one responding device has responded to the probes; determining whether more than one responding device has been found for two previous transmissions of probes when more than one responding device has responded to the probes; and transmitting, for each more than one responding device, probes having a decreased TTL value with a destination set to one of the IP addresses of the more than one responding devices, when more than one responding device has been found for two previous transmissions.

  • Patent number: 10625692
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to receive a specification of prototype wiring corresponding to a signal in a logical design of a wire harness, locate a section of a vehicle to include a portion of the wire harness corresponding to the signal in the logical design, and insert the prototype wiring into a physical design of the wire harness corresponding to the located section of the vehicle. The specification of the prototype wiring can identify a particular vehicle configuration and insert the prototype wiring into a physical design of the wire harness for the particular vehicle configuration. The computing system can receive constraints configured to control synthesis of the logical design into the physical design of the wire harness, and generate portions of the physical design of the wire harness based on the constraints, while retaining the prototype wiring that was inserted into the physical design.
