Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for analyzing lineage data. One of the methods includes obtaining data access event information; generating a lineage graph from the data access event information; receiving a data lineage request, wherein the data lineage request is a request for lineage data for a specified data set or a specified software process; traversing the lineage graph to identify nodes and edges in the lineage graph that satisfy the data lineage request; and providing data identifying the nodes and edges that satisfy the data lineage request in response to the request.

Abstract: A navigation system can identify locations of interest at a route destination. Those locations of interest at the destination can fall within a predetermined distance of the destination or those that are responsive to a query that includes the destination as a parameter. The navigation system can receive a selection of an identified location of interest near the destination, and update a route to terminate at the identified location of interest rather than the original destination. Information identifying the origin and destination for the route can be collected at a first user device and the route can be displayed at a second user device. Additional information is then received from the first user device (such as a selection of an identified location of interest near the destination). This additional information received at the first user device is used to update the route that is displayed on the second user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for interactively, graphically displaying and reporting performance information to a user of an HVAC system controlled by a self-programming network-connected thermostat. The information is made on a remote display device such as a smartphone, tablet computer or other computer, and includes a graphical daily or monthly summary each of several days or months respectively. In response to a user selection of a day, detailed performance information is graphically displayed that can include an indication of HVAC activity on a timeline, the number of hours of HVAC activity, as well as one or more symbols on a timeline indicating setpoint changes, and when a setpoint was changed due to non-occupancy.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and devices for radar-based gesture-recognition through a wearable device. The techniques enable an easy-to-use input interface through this wearable radar device, in contrast to small or difficult-to-use input interfaces common to wearable computing devices. Further, these techniques are not limited to interfacing with wearable computing devices, but may aid users in controlling various non-wearable devices, such as to control volume on a stereo, pause a movie playing on a television, or select a webpage on a desktop computer.

Abstract: Systems and methods offer a search system with third-party provided search applications that are triggered in response to specified queries and run at the search system. For example, a method may include determining that a query triggers a third party search application hosted at the search system, extracting a parameter from the query based on a query template, executing the third party search application with the parameter in a sandboxed manner at the search system to generate a third-party formatted answer for the query, and providing the third-party formatted answer as a search result for the query. The third party may provide the query template, parameter attributes, and the third party formatted answer. The third party search application may be stored at the search system and include the query template, a data store, the parameter attributes, and instructions for accessing the data store using the parameter.

In response to detecting the second interaction pattern, a modified version of the three-dimensional virtual object at the first virtual feature is generated according to the first interaction pattern and at the second virtual feature according to the second interaction pattern. The modified version of the three-dimensional virtual object is provided in the user interface in the head mounted display device.

Abstract: Configurations for providing a pushed based real-time analytics system are disclosed. The system incorporates a network and distributed database configured to stream real-time analytics data through multiple tiers. The real-time analytics data is routed/pushed through the system without requiring an additional requests from a front-end client. For instance, after the front-end client initiates a query with the real-time analytics system, a pipeline is opened to the front-end client and web site traffic data is pushed without requiring polling or other explicit requests from the front-end client. As incoming web site tracking data communications are received, the incoming web site tracking data communications are automatically routed and pushed through different tiers of the system. Real-time web site tracking data is automatically presented to the front-end client without requiring constant refreshing (which introduces latency) of a web browser or similar client application.
