  • Patent number: 11874794
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to improving efficiency of data analytics performed on sets of entity data in which different entity properties having very different update frequencies. Time-based analytical queries track the entity states at each moment within a given time window. Analytical queries are executed over a massive number of entity states while using a reasonable memory footprint. The technique partitions the entity properties into partial historical snapshots of data and combines the partial snapshots on demand only as needed to execute analytical queries over business entities. A complete entity state having values for all entity properties is not required to execute most queries. Only partial snapshots including values referenced by the query need to be combined to satisfy the query. Using partial snapshots minimizes data replication, and the snapshots can be efficiently combined into entity states sufficient for query execution.

  • Patent number: 11487933
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques provide just-in-time error detection and correction within a multi-edit session. The multi-edit session may have a scope definition across a subset of devices within a network, each device having a set of network configuration parameters. The system may be implemented, in part, by obtaining a restricted grammar language (RGL) rule set derived from devices on the network within and outside of the edit scope. After detecting an indication of an edit to configuration information, the techniques may compare the edit (e.g., unsaved or saved change) to the RGL. Based on detection of a suspect entry, information may be presented to a user of the multi-edit session. The information may include suggestions or corrections relative to user edits (e.g., just-in-time). The suggestions or corrections may be derived using the RGL based on consistency of the proposed edit with respect to information utilized to generate the RGL.

  • Patent number: 11460973
    Abstract: Node-link data can be converted into audio outputs. For example, a system can generate a graphical user interface (GUI) depicting a node-link diagram having nodes and links. The GUI can include a virtual reference point in the node-link diagram and a virtual control element that is rotatable around the virtual reference point by a user to contact one or more of the nodes in the node-link diagram. The system can receive user input for rotating the virtual control element around the virtual reference point, which can generate a contact between the virtual control element and a particular node of the node-link diagram. In response to detecting the contact, the system can determine a sound characteristic configured to indicate an attribute associated with the particular node. The system can then generate a sound having the sound characteristic, for example to assist the user in exploring the node-link diagram.
