Patent number: 11494414Abstract: The described implementations relate to processing of electronic data. One implementation is manifest as a technique that can include obtaining a relational query that references one or more data items and associating progress intervals with the data items. The technique can also include converting the relational query into a corresponding streaming query, and providing the streaming query and the data items with the progress intervals to a stream engine that produces incremental results of the query. For example, the progress intervals can be based on row numbers of a relational database table. The progress intervals can be used to define event lifetimes of streaming events that are provided as inputs to the stream engine.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Danyel A. Fisher, Steven M. Drucker, Jonathan D. Goldstein, Badrish Chandramouli, Robert A. DeLine, John C. Platt, Mike Barnett

Publication number: 20160210021Abstract: Functionality is described herein for allowing an investigating user to explore event sequences. The functionality constructs an expression in a pattern-matching language in response to the user's interaction with a user interface presentation. The functionality then compares the specified expression against one or more event sequences to find portions of the event sequences that match the expression, if any. The comparing operation yields matching sequence information. The functionality then generates and displays output information based on the matching sequence information. In one case, the expression is a regular expression.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2015Publication date: July 21, 2016Inventors: Emanuel Albert Errol Zgraggen, Steven M. Drucker, Danyel A.

Patent number: 9015674Abstract: Various technologies pertaining to answering reachability queries are described herein. A reachability query includes a user-specified destination line of code in source code that is desirably analyzed. A theorem prover is employed to identify an execution path through the source code that reaches the destination line of code. Graphical data is presented to the user that illustrates to the user the execution path through the source code that reaches the destination line of code.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert DeLine, Mike Barnett, Akash Lal, Shaz Qadeer

Patent number: 8561015Abstract: The present disclosure describes an apparatus and a method for contemporaneously viewing code structure in a diagram as well as source code facilitated by a semantic zoom and pan feature and enabled via use of advanced rendering engines. The apparatus and method support in-place editing where edits are represented on the diagram in real-time. One example system includes a diagramming surface, an advanced rendering engine, viewers with controls and data retrieval modules, a data store with data loaded from source code well as external sources, and workers possibly implemented as background threads to monitor changes. One example method enables layers where a subset of data is viewed and a corresponding control is used to manipulate the data. An advanced rendering engine enables a wide range of user interface techniques, including but not limited to semantic zoom and pan and in-place editing.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2009Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kael R Rowan, Robert A DeLine
