  • Systems and methods for normalizing data from multiple sources
    Patent number: 11899579
    Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory including instructions that are executable for causing the processor to perform operations. The operations include accessing a new component value and a set of inner heaps. Each inner heap of the set of inner heaps includes a sorted set of components originating from a plurality of component sources. The operations further include assigning the new component value to a first inner heap of the set of inner heaps. In response to assigning the new component value to the first inner heap, the operations include sorting the first inner heap to identify a maximum or minimum value of the first inner heap. In response to determining that the new component value changes the maximum or minimum value of the first inner heap, the operations include updating an outer heap to include a reference to the new component value of the first inner heap.
