  • Patent number: 11443206
    Abstract: A system for identifying information in high dimensional, low latency streaming data having dynamically evolving data patterns. The system processes, continuously and in real-time, the streaming data. Processing includes filtering the data based on event data to identify diagnostic data points by comparing the event data with an experimental design matrix and performing a modeling operation using the identified diagnostic data points in order to identify efficiently any current and emerging patterns of relationships between at least one outcome variable and predictor variables. The at least one a-priori, pre-designed experimental design matrix is generated based on combinations of the predictor variables and at least one outcome variable. The experimental design matrix is also generated based on at least one of main effects, limitations, constraints, and interaction effects of the predictor variables and combinations.

  • Patent number: 11429623
    Abstract: An apparatus for estimating analytics and interactive exploration of big data, stored and/or streaming, using approximate query processing is presented. The apparatus comprises a model constructor and a sampler. The model constructor identifies important predictors variables in big data using feature selection, predictor variables, and outcome variables and partitions the important predictor variables into one or more stratifications based either the identified interactions or identified relationships. The sampler generates a subset of data by querying the big data using a query constructed based on at least one stratification. The subset of data can be fed into an analytics generator. The analytics generator generates analytics data for the outcome variables based on the subset of data and an analytics algorithm and a visualization, e.g. an interactive visualization, comprising the outcome variables, the important predictor variables, the stratification, the subset of data, and the analytics data.

  • Patent number: 11403033
    Abstract: Systems and method are provided for operating a multi-array memory that includes a left memory array and a right memory array of a memory bank. A command is received at memory input pins. A signal representative of the command is propagated to an array control inhibitor. An array inhibit command is received on one or more other pins of the memory and provided to the array control inhibitor. The array control inhibitor is used to prevent arrival of the command to one of the left memory array and the right memory array based on the array inhibit command.

  • Publication number: 20220092452
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising feature engineering and text explanation modules for explaining text from predictive results of an algorithmic model. The feature engineering module creates vectors for string variables, each string variable comprising identified text, each vector created comprising a numeric combination, each numeric combination identifying a variable name and a value having a word or a phrase. The feature engineering module causes a predictive engine to generate predictive results using the algorithmic model, the data set, and the vectors created. The predictive results comprising the string variable or a modified version of the string variable and a confidence score. The text explanation module maps words and phrases from qualified text of the string variable, or modified version, to the numeric combinations of the vectors and determines a probability score for each word and each phrase. The most influential words and phrases are plotted on a chart.

  • Publication number: 20220063888
    Abstract: This invention relates to an article of manufacture comprising a plurality of sheets including a backing sheet, a front sheet and an intermediate pocket sheet sandwiched between the other two sheets. The pocket sheet comprises a frame with an interior portion cut-out so that when sandwiched between the backing and the front sheets, the plurality of sheets define a cavity. There is further provided a stand comprising an elongate length of material connected at one end to one of the sheets, the other free end terminating in a tab, and having a plurality of fold lines. A separate, removable indicia sheet for reception of a message thereon is provided. The backing sheet comprises a pair of slits, one of which is dimensioned for reception of the indicia sheet to provide access to the cavity, and the other dimensioned to receive the tab of the stand for support of the article of manufacture.
