Patent number: 11934439Abstract: Methods, computer systems and computer program product are provided for retrieving contextually relevant documents in near real time. When text data it's received from an application, the text data is processed through a text segmentation model to generate a set of documents. Each document corresponds to a segment of the text data. A first vector representation is generated for a first document of the set of documents. A machine learning process compares the first vector representation and a set of vector representations for a set of documents within a data repository to determine a subset of the documents. A composite rank is generated for each respective document of the subset. The subset of documents is then presented through an interface, sorted according to the respective composite ranks.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Yair Horesh, Yehezkel Shraga Resheff, Shlomi Medalion, Liron Hayman

Patent number: 11907220Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for processing queries in a hybrid database system. A database management system of the hybrid database system obtains an estimated execution time of a query by an online transaction processing engine. The database management system further obtains an estimated execution time of the query by a database accelerator. Furthermore, the database management system determines a wait time (which could be zero) for the database accelerator to process the query. The database management system then determines whether the online transaction processing engine or the database accelerator will process the query using the estimated execution time of the query by the online transaction processing engine, the estimated execution time of the query by the database accelerator and the wait time (which could be zero) for the database accelerator to process the query. In this manner, the processing of queries in hybrid database systems is optimized.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Al Chakra, Ruiping Li, Terence P.

Patent number: 11904050Abstract: A Cannabis juice purée is packaged using high pressure processing (HPP). First, a Cannabis juice purée is formed by collecting raw Cannabis material and blending the raw Cannabis material together with a thickening agent and a sweetening agent. Next, the Cannabis juice purée is deposited into a container and the container is processed using HPP. In HPP, the Cannabis juice purée is loaded into a high-pressure chamber filled with pressure transmitting fluid, such as water. The pressure is applied to the Cannabis juice purée. A lid is used to seal the opening of the container. HPP allows the mixture to be pasteurized without applying heat. HPP extends the shelf life of the Cannabis juice purée to several weeks to months without applying heat that could undesirably decarboxylating the cannabinoids present in the Cannabis juice purée. Shelf life is preserved while providing a liquid beverage form of Cannabis juice purée.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Inventor: Jeff Nordahl
