  • Patent number: 11295493
    Abstract: The present subject matter discloses system and method for generating a scalar vector graphics (SVG) image in an imaginary console. The system receives one or more image parameters, corresponding to the image, from the user. Further, the imaginary console emulates a browser environment by using a JavaScript Engine and a browser emulator. The SVG executer processes the one or more image parameters corresponding to the image to render the image on the imaginary console, and produces the image having SVG format. Further, the document generator module may convert the image having the SVG format into the raster image based on report format specified by the user. Further, the document generator module embeds the image into the offline readable format to be used by the user.

  • Patent number: 11295066
    Abstract: A method for dynamic linking between graphic documents and comment databases is described and includes entering a base graphic representation of a project in a computer system. The base graphic representation may be the conversion of a user supplied format graphic to a web support format graphic. A coordinate overlay grid of a coordinate overlay program may be linked to the base graphic representation for overlay positioning and display on the base graphic representation. The coordinate overlay program may have a notation subprogram linked to the coordinate overlay grid for a user to designate notation with an identifier relative to a distinct location of the base graphic representation on the coordinate overlay grid. A text or graphic comment data record may be entered in a comment data record referenced to an identifier and displayed using a computer cursor device and display to activate an identifier.

  • Patent number: 11282294
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems provide user interfaces that allow users to review search results, pinpoint relevant portions of media content items where the identified objects are determined to be present, review detector performance and retrain detectors, providing search result feedback, and/or reviewing video monitoring results and analytics.

  • Patent number: 11233705
    Abstract: A system for visualizing and navigating network data may include at least one computing device that receives input data using a NetTree application. The NetTree application may parse the input data and determine a list of nodes in a network and a list of links between nodes in the network from the input data. One of the nodes may be selected as a start node and inserted into a line of a network tree. After selecting the start node, the NetTree application may iterate through each of the links between the nodes in the network and add each new node that is not yet added to the network tree to a list of nodes to check for their links. Each link is added to a line in the network tree. A graphical user interface (GUI) may display the network tree.
