  • Patent number: 10001982
    Abstract: Techniques for imposing a common build system for disparate software products are described. In an embodiment, a first virtualization environment and second visualization environment are generated for a first software product and a second software product respectively. The virtualization environments include one or more script files identifying steps to take to build an executable package for the first software product and the second software product respectively. An API endpoint is defined for an output of the first virtualization environment. When a first generic build command is received through a first user interface associated with the first software product, the first generic build command is translated into a first software specific build command. The first virtualization environment then executes the first software build command using the one or more script files.

  • Publication number: 20180165072
    Abstract: Data transformation in a distributed system of applications and data repositories is described. The subsystems for the overall framework are distributed, thereby allowing for customization to require only isolated changes to one or more subsystems. In one embodiment, a source code repository is used to receive and store source code. A build subsystem can retrieve source code from the source code repository and build it, using one or more criteria. By building the source code, the build subsystem can generate an artifact, which is executable code, such as a JAR or SQL file. Likewise, by building the source code, the build subsystem can generate one or more job specifications for executing the executable code. In one embodiment, the artifact and job specification may be used to launch an application server in a cluster. The application server can then receive data transformation instructions and execute the data transformation instructions.

  • Patent number: 9998485
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data analysis system that may automatically generate memory-efficient clustered data structures, automatically analyze those clustered data structures, and provide results of the automated analysis in an optimized way to an analyst. The automated analysis of the clustered data structures (also referred to herein as data clusters) may include an automated application of various criteria or rules so as to generate a compact, human-readable analysis of the data clusters. The human-readable analyses (also referred to herein as “summaries” or “conclusions”) of the data clusters may be organized into an interactive user interface so as to enable an analyst to quickly navigate among information associated with various data clusters and efficiently evaluate those data clusters in the context of, for example, a fraud investigation. Embodiments of the present disclosure also relate to automated scoring of the clustered data structures.

  • Patent number: 9984133
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that display schematics and data associated with the various physical components in the schematics in an interactive user interface. For example, a computing device links data stored in one or more databases with schematics displayed in one or more interactive user interfaces. The computing device parses a digital image that depicts a schematic and identifies text visible in the digital image. Based on the identified text, the computing device recognizes representations of one or more physical components in the schematic and links the representations to data regarding the physical component in one or more databases, such as specification data, historical sensor data of the component, etc. The computing device modifies the digital image such that it becomes interactive and visible in a user interface in a manner that allows the user to select a physical component and view data associated with the selection.

  • Patent number: 9953445
    Abstract: An interactive data object map system is disclosed in which large amounts of geographical, geospatial, and other types of data, geodata, objects, features, and/or metadata are efficiently presented to a user on a map interface. The interactive data object map system allows for rapid and deep analysis of various objects, features, and/or metadata by the user. A layer ontology may be displayed to the user. In various embodiments, when the user rolls a selection cursor over an object/feature an outline of the object/feature is displayed. Selection of an object/feature may cause display of metadata associated with that object/feature. The interactive data object map system may automatically generate feature/object lists and/or histograms based on selections made by the user. The user may perform geosearches, generate heatmaps, and/or perform keyword searches, among other actions.
