  • Patent number: 10922378
    Abstract: A change in a current flowing through a current path when a voltage applied to the path is changed is simulated in a system including the path and a member that is acted upon by the current flowing through the path and affects the current flowing through the path. First, the path and the member are represented by aggregates of a plurality of particles. Electromagnetic action from the other particles to each of the plurality of particles configuring the path is calculated based on a current value at a present time of the current flowing through the path and a voltage value of an external voltage applied to the path. The current flowing through the path is calculated based on a calculation result of the electromagnetic action to update the current value flowing through the path from the value at the present time to a value obtained by a calculation.

  • Patent number: 10896074
    Abstract: An interactive processing device according to an embodiment acquires one/more items' information for predetermined operation through interaction with a user, and includes one/more itemized-processing-units and an interaction-control-unit. The itemized-processing-units corresponds to the items. The interaction-control-unit controls the interaction collaboratively with the itemized-processing-units. The interaction-control-unit transmits user-input information to each itemized-processing-unit. Each itemized-processing-unit extracts a candidate for to-be-acquired information and transmits the candidate to the interaction-control-unit with likelihood information of being the to-be-acquired information. The interaction-control-unit determines a candidate having first-threshold-satisfying likelihood as information of an item corresponding to the candidate-transmitted itemized-processing-unit. When undetermined information item exists, the interaction-control-unit outputs inquiry for the item information.

  • Patent number: 10891175
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for writing events to a data store. An application server generates events, the data store that stores the events, and a temporary events file storage system (TEFSS) temporarily stores groups of events as events files. When events are unable to be written directly to the data store, an indirect events writer is invoked that includes event capture threads each being configured to generate a particular events file, and write it to the TEFSS. Each events file includes a plurality of events flushed from an in-memory buffer service. An events file uploader service reads the events file(s) from the TEFSS, and then writes the events from each of the events files to the data store.

  • Patent number: 10884834
    Abstract: A secured method for isolated parts of a web application to invoke APIs across boundaries is described. A host web page receives a first object from a first inline frame of the host web page. The first object identifies a first Application Programming Interface (API). The host web page validates the first object against a predefined APIs for the host web page. Once the first object is validated, the host web page forwards the first object to a second inline frame of the host web page. The second inline frame parses the first object and translate the parsed first object to a second API corresponding to the second inline frame.
