  • Patent number: 11797627
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing context-based keyword searching using a search bar. Based on search terms received via the search bar, the system may be configured to provide suggested search parameters to associate with that search term. The suggested search parameters may each include a type of data and/or a filter to associate with the search term (e.g., name, phone number, date of birth, etc.). The one or more suggested search parameters may be identified based on the search term itself, a list of possible types of data or filters, a preliminary search of one or more datasets, a record of one or more previous searches performed, requirements associated with one or more searchable datasets, the format of user input received via the search bar, and/or one or more other factors.

  • Patent number: 11714869
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying relevant information for an entity, referred to as a seed entity. A plurality of search queries can be generated each comprising a property of a seed entity or one of the entities associated with the seed entity (seed-linked entities). Preferably, a collection of search queries includes ones representing different properties of the seed entity and properties of different seed-linked entities. Optionally, the collection of search queries is optimized to reduce search burden. Searches can then be conducted with the search queries in one or more data sources to obtain a plurality of search results, wherein each search result comprises a hit entity and one or more entities associated with the hit entity (hit-linked entity).

  • Patent number: 11663229
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for accessing and traversing one or more data structures and generating a functional user interface that can enable non-technical users to quickly and dynamically search for resources of an organization and/or associated documents, events, entities, and/or other data. The user interfaces are interactive such that a user may make selections, provide inputs, and/or manipulate outputs. In response to various user inputs, the system automatically accesses and traverses data structures relating to resources, documents, events, entities, and other data, identifies resources, documents, events, entities, and/or other data that meet search criteria, and returns search results including resources that meet the search criteria and/or resources that are associated with documents, events, entities, and/or other data that meet the search criteria.

  • Patent number: 11210616
    Abstract: A system and method for presenting information for evaluating asset allocation. In example embodiments, the method includes determining a readiness score associated with a request location and in response to determining the readiness score associated with the request location transgresses a threshold readiness score, causing display of an alert notification within a user interface. The method further includes receiving a request submitted via the user that specifies a requested quantity of the asset type to be allocated to the request location. Based on the request, the user interface displays a fulfillment indicator to indicate a portion of the requested quantity of the asset type that is fulfilled based on combination of reallocation quantities of the asset type to be allocated to the request location from each destination location in a set of destination locations.

  • Patent number: 10946878
    Abstract: A Wireless Slide Fence utilizing signal reflection technology to detect rockslides and can determine the size and location of fallen rocks/objects impeding travel along a train track is presented. The present disclosure solves the technological problem of determining rock size and location to validate rockslide/fall alarms to reduce false alarms, while minimizing repairs required by conventional systems through the use of obstacle detection units and vital logic controllers. The present disclosure improves the performance of the system by, generating validated alarms when fallen rocks/objects satisfy the size criteria and are located in an area hazardous to train operations. In one exemplary embodiment, a loitering time can be implemented to validate object detections to reduce false positives due to transient objects such as migrating animals.

  • Patent number: 10621159
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a notification system. The notification system accesses a set of components of a first data object, a user having registered to monitor the first data object for modifications. The notification system compares the set of components of the first data object to a previous set of components of the first data object and determines, based on the comparison, that the set of components of the first data object includes at least one modification from the previous set of components of the first data object. In response to determining that the set of components of the first data object includes at least one modification from the previous set of components of the first data object, the notification system notifies the user of the at least one modification to the first data object.
