  • Patent number: 10545997
    Abstract: An example method comprises receiving historical information of episodes, constructing event sets from the historical information, categorizing each event with general labels and synthetic labels, learning an event metric on the events by using the general and synthetic labels to perform dimensionality reduction to associate a vector with each event and to determine an angle between every two vectors, determining an event set metric using distances between each pair of event sets, deriving a sequence metric on the episodes, the sequence metric obtaining a preferred match between two episodes, deriving a subsequence metric on the episodes, the subsequence metric is a function of the event set metric on subsequences of each episode, grouping episodes into subgroups based on distances, for at least one subgroup, generating a consensus sequence by finding a preferred sequence of events, and the episodes of the subgroup, and generating a report indicating the consensus sequence.

  • Patent number: 10545999
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for generating an enhanced index for documents contained in a knowledge base. Documents or configuration snapshots are tokenized and then passed through a number of filters. The filters modify the token stream to generate an enhanced token stream for the document by removing words from the stream and adding domain level knowledge to the tokens in the stream. The token stream is then added to the index for the document so that searches can be completed against the knowledge base when searches are generated from configuration snapshots or from inputted search queries.

  • Patent number: 10546001
    Abstract: A data analysis system allows users to interact with distributed data structures stored in-memory using natural language queries. The data analysis system receives a prefix of a natural language query from the user. The data analysis system provides suggestions of terms to the user for adding to the prefix. Accordingly, the data analysis system iteratively receives longer and longer prefixes of the natural language queries until a complete natural language query is received. The data analysis system stores natural language query templates that represent natural language queries associated a particular intent. For example, a natural language query template may represent queries that compare two columns of a dataset. The data analysis system compares an input prefix of natural language with the natural language query templates to determine the suggestions. The data analysis system receives user defined metrics or attributes that can be used in the natural language queries.

  • Patent number: 10543822
    Abstract: A method of controlling deceleration of a vehicle which includes the steps of sensing the speed of rotation of the output shaft and generating an output shaft speed signal. The method also includes deriving from the output shaft speed signal a deceleration signal indicative of deceleration of the vehicle, and generating in accordance with a selectively effective feedback control scheme a braking command. The method further includes using the output shaft speed signal to calculate a maximum braking power signal and modulating the braking command in dependence on the maximum braking power signal in order to limit the braking power applied in the SAHR brake. The maximum braking power signal is determined in dependence on the heat dissipating capacity of the SAHR brake and is such as to give rise to a constant or approximately constant value of braking power dissipated in the SAHR brake.
