Patent number: 11486976Abstract: A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system is provided. The LiDAR system includes an emitter for emitting a light beam, a configurable light processing control unit to affect the light beam, a receiver for receiving the light beam and a computer system. The computer system controls operations of the light processing control unit, computes a distance to a target using a time of flight of the light beam from the emitter to the target and from the target to the receiver and simultaneously corroborates the computed distance by controlling the operations of the light processing control unit to focus and defocus the light beam.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Guy M.

Patent number: 11487820Abstract: Guided exploration of data is provided. A semantic graph corresponding to a dataset is generated using identified relations among columns of the dataset that are identified based on mapping the columns to main concepts in a generic ontology. A subgraph of the semantic graph is formed based on identification of nodes corresponding to relevant central concepts within the semantic graph using graph centrality metrics. A plurality of paths is identified in the subgraph using a bi-directional multiple hop search from the nodes corresponding to the relevant central concepts in the subgraph. A relevance score is assigned to each path in the plurality of paths using a graph-theoretic metric and the graph centrality metrics. A set of natural language questions based on relevant central concepts and concept relations corresponding to nodes in each respective path with an assigned relevance score greater than a minimum threshold score is output to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mohammed Mostafa, Ali Khanafer, Joyce Miryam Habbouche, Rola Shaar

Patent number: 11487760Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to query plan management associated with a shared pool of configurable computing resources. A query, which relates to a set of data located on the shared pool of configurable computing resources, is detected. A virtual machine includes the set of data. With respect to the virtual machine, a set of burden values of performing a set of asset actions is determined. Based on the set of burden values, a query plan to access the set of data is established. Using at least one asset action of the set of asset actions, the query plan is processed.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Rafal P. Konik, Roger A. Mittelstadt, Brian R. Muras
