  • Patent number: 12373762
    Abstract: In an industrial plant, various equipment are used to handle processing of raw materials. Considering complexities involved in the processes and the equipment, constant monitoring is required to obtain desired results. The disclosure herein generally relates to industrial process and equipment monitoring, and, more particularly, to data analysis for Just In Time (JIT) characterization of raw materials in any process industry. The system collects real-time plant data among other inputs, and performs characterization of raw materials being used in the plant. The characterization involves categorizing the raw materials into different classes. The class information is further used to predict performance of the industrial plant, and in turn to generate recommendations for optimization of the industrial plant.

  • Patent number: 12354056
    Abstract: An online concierge system provides arrival prediction services for a user placing an order to be retrieved by a shopper. An order may have a predicted arrival time predicted by a model that may err under some conditions. To reduce the likelihood of providing the predicted arrival time (and related services) when the arrival time may be incorrect, the prediction model and related services are throttled (e.g., selectively provided) based on one or more predicted delivery metrics, which may include a time to accept the order by a shopper and a predicted portion of late orders that will be delivered past the respective predicted arrival times. The predicted delivery metrics are compared with thresholds and the result of the comparison used to selectively provide, or not provide, the predicted delivery services.

  • Patent number: 12346844
    Abstract: Input data that includes one or more observations made at one or more corresponding time slices is received. The input data is provided to one or more time-based prediction models that predict one or more values for one or more future time slices. One or more randomness compensating factors are determined. The one or more randomness compensating factors correspond to one or more features indicative of one or more events associated with the one or more corresponding time slices. Based at least in part on the determining of the one or more randomness compensating factors and the prediction of the one or more time-based prediction models, a second one or more values for at least one of the one or more future time slices are predicted. In response to the predicting of the second one or more values, an indication associated with the predicted second one or more values are presented to a user computer device.

  • Patent number: 12299621
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed including a computer and a processor and memory. The computer receives option constraint limiting values of a second option parameter based on a value for a first option parameter, wherein the first option parameter and the second option parameter comprise mix rates for options for a configuration. The computer further generates an interactive element for setting values of the first option parameter and an interactive element for setting the value for the second option parameter and displays the one or more interactive elements. The computer still further, in response to a value being set for the first option parameter, calculates limits for the values of the second option parameters and prevents the interactive element for setting the value for the second option parameter to be set to values outside of the calculated limits.

  • Patent number: 12271957
    Abstract: A graphical user interface provides visualization of operation tasks for a well ordered in a sequence. The graphical user interface shows different types of timing for the operation tasks, such as planned timing, estimated timing, and actual timing for the operation tasks. Different types of timing are arranged in a hierarchy so that setting one type of timing for an operation task overrides another type of timing for the operation task. Changes to timing of an operation task are automatically propagated to other operation tasks.

  • Patent number: 12271436
    Abstract: Forward-looking sales activities are poorly served by existing Customer Relationship Managements systems, as the customer information those systems maintain by definition does not include the speculatively interested “leads” pursued in initial sales contacts. An Enrichment database, asynchronously loaded with corporate and optionally individual contact information in anticipation of use, provides real-time access to information in support of such first customer contacts. The Enrichment information may also be used to expedite creation and revision of CRM records.

  • Patent number: 12265933
    Abstract: An online concierge system assigns shoppers to fulfill orders from users. To allocate shoppers, the online concierge system predicts future supply and demand for the shoppers' services for different time windows. To forecast a supply of shoppers, the online concierge system trains a machine learning model that estimates future supply based on access to a shopper mobile application through which the shoppers obtain new assignments by shoppers. The online concierge system also forecasts future orders. The online concierge system estimates a supply gap in a future time period by selecting a target time to accept for shoppers to accept orders and determining a corresponding ratio of number of shoppers and number of orders. The online concierge system may adjust a number of shoppers allocated to the future time period to achieve the determined ratio number of shoppers and number of orders.

  • Patent number: 12249951
    Abstract: This invention is embodied in an energy yield optimization device that can be used to optimize energy yields for a utility-scale photovoltaic power plant. More specifically, this solution is directed to utility-scale photovoltaic power plants that have undulating (non-planar) topography. Because of the undulating topography, the rotating axles of the solar trackers will not necessarily be horizontal and would be expected to be different for each independent rotating axle in the field. The preferred solution claimed herein deploys a marching algorithm to find the preferred optimum solution.
