  • Patent number: 11797936
    Abstract: A custom system data stream stitches together aspects of various data streams from source systems. In one implementation, an analytics circuit of a computing system extracts, from a first data stream received from a system quality assurance (QA) management system, test case data. The analytics circuit parses metadata, including a user story identifier, from the test case data. Based on the user story identifier, the analytics circuit parses, from a second data stream received from a system development lifecycle (SDLC) management computing system, SDLC item data that includes a project identifier. Based on the project identifier from the second data stream, the analytics circuit determines at least one computer application impacted by activity associated with the test case data from the first data stream. Items from the source data streams are dynamically identified for inclusion in the custom system data stream. The custom system data stream is bound to a graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11615428
    Abstract: A carbon credit generation methodology that uses a base map and other spatially explicit data to develop a baseline scenario for a forested property. One or more alternate scenarios are compared against the baseline scenario. The alternate scenario may for example include harvest deferral, alternate forest management, and.or reforestation. The effect of implementing the alternate scenario for a future activity period is modeled to determine potential carbon credit production prior to committing the property to the alternate scenario. The state of the property is confirmed at the end of the activity period before verified carbon credits are issued.
