  • Patent number: 11386337
    Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory compute readable medium for hidden evidence correlation and causation linking including a forecasting device configured to forecast hidden evidence found in relation to a user input in hidden cycle measurements into future forecasted cycle measurements, where the forecasted hidden cycles are transformed into an amplitude versus frequency histogram with each histogram being compared to each other histogram and determined if causation is a candidate, and if causation is a candidate, a probability density function is applied to produce a degree of causation of a causation link for the hidden evidence in relation to the user input.

  • Patent number: 9223136
    Abstract: Embodiments may be implemented by a computing device, such as a head-mountable display or mobile phone, in order to pre-emptively warm up the device's camera, when it is probable that a user will be taking a photo. An illustrative method involves a computing device (a) receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the computing device, wherein the computing device comprises an image-capture device, (b) analyzing the sensor data to detect at least one pre-image-capture signal, wherein the at least one pre-image-capture signal indicates a subsequent image-capture signal is likely to be received, and (c) in response to detecting the at least one pre-image-capture signal, causing the computing device to initiate an image-capture preparation process that prepares the image-capture device to capture an image.

  • Patent number: 8214806
    Abstract: A method for profiling performance of a system includes steps of: monitoring execution of the system at multiple points during the system's operation; analyzing results derived from the monitoring in order to provide analyzed results; reconfiguring the monitoring non-uniformly according to the analyzed results; and repeatedly performing iterations of the above steps until a particular event occurs. The iterations may be terminated upon: reaching a specified level of analysis precision, determining a source of one or more performance bottlenecks, determining a source of unexpectedly high output or low completion time, completing a predefined number of iterations, reaching an endpoint of an application, or having performed iterations for a specified period of time.

  • Publication number: 20110227925
    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable article of manufacture for displaying visualization from an event log. According to the method, sequences are extracted from the event log. The event log is a record of a plurality of events that occurred. A sequence graph is generated from the sequences. The sequence graph includes nodes representing the events of the event log and the events of each node have a common property. A sequence graph visualization is displayed from the sequence graph. The sequence graph visualization includes (i) node icons representing the nodes of the sequence graph, (ii) node transition icons representing relationships between nodes, and (iii) an event icon for each of the one or more events of a corresponding node.
