Patent number: 12026147Abstract: A system includes memory hardware that stores an event logging database including entries corresponding to events processed at local servers. The processor hardware executes instructions including, in response to receiving a first message from a first local server (the first message indicates that a first event occurred), identifying a causal parent event preceding the first event. The causal parent event is a most recent event that occurred at the first local server. The instructions include identifying a temporal parent event preceding the first event. The temporal parent event is a most recent event that occurred across all of the local servers. The instructions include generating a new entry based on data from the first message and a cryptographic hash based on a hash of a first entry recording the causal parent event and a hash of a second entry recording the temporal parent event.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Cigna Intellectual Property, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan E.

Patent number: 12014253Abstract: Systems and methods for constructing sets of synthetic data. A single data record is identified from a first set of data. The first set of data comprises a first plurality of data records, each of the data records including multiple items of data describing an entity.

The identified group of records comprises a target set of variables and the group of records from the first set that are not identified comprises a control set of variables. The target set of variables and the control set of variables are processed, using probability estimation and optimization constraints, to determine a score for each of the records in the first set. The score describes how similar each of the records in the first set is to the single data record. The records associated with a percentage of the highest scores are identified.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2022Date of Patent: June 18, 2024Assignee: Cigna Intellectual Property, Inc.Inventors: David J.
