  • Publication number: 20230177516
    Abstract: Conventional customer relationship management (CRM) systems provide limited data that are not conducive to the calculation of the qualified portion of a sales pipeline. Accordingly, embodiments calculate a metric of qualified pipeline from this limited data, and can do so across one or a plurality of various dimensions. In addition, embodiments can forecast the metric of qualified pipeline at a future time and/or derive a pipeline plan based on a future booking target.

  • Publication number: 20230143734
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing visualizations of data. Visualizations to monitor may be determined based on metrics associated with the monitored visualizations. Mark values may be sampled from each monitored visualization such that the sampled mark values may be stored with a timestamp. If an amount of the sampled mark values for a monitored visualization exceeds a threshold value mark models may be trained to classify a portion of the sampled mark values associated with the monitored visualization such that the mark models may predict ranges of values for the classified mark values associated with the monitored visualization. If the portion of the classified mark values associated with the monitored visualization has a value outside of the predicted range values, indicating that the monitored visualization may be associated with an anomalous mark value.

  • Publication number: 20230065077
    Abstract: A method is performed at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display. The method includes rendering a first volumetric object in order to generate first object data. The method includes displaying, on the display, the first object data according to a first display mode. The first display mode includes displaying the first object data within a two-dimensional (2D) content region. The method includes detecting a request to change from the first display mode to a second display mode. The method includes, in response to detecting the request, displaying, on the display, the first object data according to the second display mode. The second display mode includes displaying the first object data within a representation of a physical environment.

  • Publication number: 20220061134
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for, applying RF power as part of an RF treatment. The RF power may be applied until a first target temperature is reached, wherein the first target temperature is less than a final target temperature. Responsive to the reaching the first target temperature, application of the RF power may be varied via a feedback control loop until final target temperature is achieved. The application of the RF power may be paused responsive to determining that a temperature spread is greater than a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11112405
    Abstract: Assay devices, systems, methods, and kits useful for detection of analytes in a bodily fluid sample, such as saliva, are disclosed herein. Assay devices may include a fluid sample collector and an assessment unit to which the fluid sample collector couples. The fluid sample collector may include a cap with a plunger and absorbent member that collects a bodily fluid sample. Insertion of the plunger into the assessment unit during coupling provides pressure-driven fluid flow through a filter rapidly delivering bodily fluid filtrate to one or more test panels which provide the assay result. In embodiments, an on-board light source enables a user to readily detect changes in a test panel indicative of the presence of an analyte thus providing an opportunity for obtaining rapid results with improved confidence.
