  • Patent number: 11977862
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for automatically cataloging updated Application Programming Interface (API) specifications. The API specifications may have been previously published to an application exchange platform. An automatic cataloging tool installed at an API development system may identify an updated API specification committed to an API specification repository. To validate that a change has been made, the automatic cataloging tool may compare the updated specification, metadata, and/or referenced documentation files to an API specification previously posted to the application exchange platform. In response to determining that the API specifications differ, the automatic cataloging tool may transmit the updated API specification to the application exchange platform. The application exchange platform may then replace the previous API specification with the updated API specification for client devices to view.

  • Publication number: 20240065668
    Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system may analyze motion of landmarks in a temporal sequence of image frames to determine mobility of one or more landmarks. In some examples, the sequence of image frames may be analyzed by one or more artificial intelligence models to detect landmarks and generate flow fields for the detected landmarks. The flow fields may be analyzed to determine the isotropy of the movement of the landmarks. The isotropy analysis may be used to generate a quantitative mobility index.

  • Patent number: 11809447
    Abstract: A system can collapse steps into an aggregate step to simplify analysis while maintaining underlying data that forms each of the steps collapsed into the aggregate step. The steps may or may not be related in a sequence or grouping of steps. The aggregate step may be a new step that comprises the data of the individual steps used to form the aggregate step. Alternatively, the aggregate step may be a virtual step that may reference or link to the steps used to form the aggregate step, but may not include the data itself. By forming aggregate steps, filtering and notification generation can be simplified. Further, extraneous data can be collapsed into a single aggregate step, which can be particularly advantageously when analyzing large data sets.

  • Patent number: 11625394
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for supporting transformations of a graph generated from a query to event data. The event data may be unstructured event data, from which instances of a journey can be identified that represent sequences of related events describing actions performed in a computing environment. When evaluating journey instances, it can be helpful to visualize the instances as a graph. Depending on the instances viewed, a user may desire different modifications to the graph. While such modifications can be made when initially building instances from the unstructured event data, this can limit reuse of the resulting instances (since the modification would also be present when evaluating other subsets). To address this, embodiments of the present disclosure enable graph modifications to be applied to subsets of journey instances after building those instances from unstructured event data, increasing reuse of instances built from a query against the unstructured data.

  • Patent number: 11541375
    Abstract: The invention relates to a composition containing a catalyst suitable for producing ethylene and other C2+ hydrocarbons at high selectivity while improving both methane conversion and product yield. Particularly, the catalyst contains mixed metal oxides having at least one alkali earth metal and at least one rare earth metal along with an alkali metal promoter in the form of an alkali metal or in the form of an alkali metal tungstate. The invention further provides a method for preparing such a composition, using a calcination process to calcine the alkali metal promoters together with mixed metal oxides. Additionally, the invention further describes a process for producing C2+ hydrocarbons, using such a composition.

  • Publication number: 20220333359
    Abstract: A water conservation system includes a showerhead, a water conservation tank, and a sensor. The system further includes a first valve configured to direct water towards the conservation water tank in an open position and configured to prevent water from flowing towards the conservation water tank when in a closed position. The system further includes a second valve configured to direct water towards the showerhead in an open position and configured to prevent water from reaching the showerhead in a closed position. A controller is configured to direct the first valve to the open position and the second valve to the closed position upon the detection of water flow by the sensor and the configured to direct the first valve to the closed position and the second valve to open position upon the occurrence of an event that occurs after the initial detection of water flow by the sensor.

  • Patent number: 11263229
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for efficiently detecting alert states within unstructured event data. Alert states are illustratively defined as occurring when a threshold number of journey instances are present within the unstructured event data, each journey instance representing a series of events within the event data representing steps within a pre-defined journey. Detecting journey instances within unstructured event data can require significant computational resources, and thus attempting to detect alert states directly from unstructured event data can lead to inefficiencies. Embodiments of this disclosure enable a structured data set of journey instances to be generated from unstructured event data, and for the structured data set to be evaluated based on criteria of multiple alert states. By utilizing a single structured data set to support evaluation based on multiple alert states, detecting alert states from unstructured event data is rendered more efficient.
