  • Patent number: 11455177
    Abstract: A system provides a design interface for designing and implementing graphical user interfaces that users can access through web browsers. Depending on the configuration of the graphical user interfaces, the users may be able to monitor and control industrial processes by interacting with components that correspond to the industrial processes as displayed in user interfaces at client devices. The design interface includes functionality for selecting preprogrammed components, or for generating new components for display. The design interface further allows designers to associate data values received from a variety of sources with properties of the components in the user interfaces. In particular, properties associated with a component of an interface are stored in property tree structures, making dynamic changes to the components possible. Data bindings between subtrees representing components and sets of data from industrial and other sources allows for designs that scale with the availability of the data.

  • Patent number: 11449764
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence (“AI”)-based system is disclosed for utilizing a schema to auto-generate an application for a specific context. An AI engine selects an activity schema associated with an activity. The schema identifies data sources for obtaining activity-specific content for the activity and can be selected based upon topics associated with the activity. The AI engine also selects a view definition that defines an arrangement of an activity-specific user interface (“UI”) for presenting relevant activity-specific content obtained from the data sources identified by the schema. An application is then generated using the schema and the view definition. The application can generate the activity-specific UI for presenting the relevant activity-specific content.

  • Patent number: 11380420
    Abstract: A system is described for constructing a biological simulation using inputs from a knowledge base data structure and one or more templates. The knowledge base data structure comprises a set of entries representing distinct molecules and chemical reactions specific within the cell. Each template defines a sub-model program specification and a set of sub-model parameters to further characterize the sub-model specification. A graphical user interface is presented on a display for a user to view and select a templates and to assign information from the knowledge base to the selected template. From the graphical user interface, the user selects multiple templates to be included in the simulation and information from the knowledge base generally describing the cell. Based on the information selected from the graphical user interface, a compiler generates a simulation configuration data file comprising computer code capable of being executed by a simulation engine.

  • Patent number: 11320911
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting user-object interaction in mixed-reality environments. A mixed-reality system detects a controller gesture with an associated controller orientation in the mixed-reality environment. The mixed-reality system then determines an interaction region for the controller gesture and identifies one or more virtual objects within the interaction region. The virtual objects each have an associated orientation affinity. Subsequently, the mixed-reality system determines an orientation similarity score between the controller orientation and the orientation affinity for each virtual object within the interaction region. In response to determining that at least one orientation similarity score exceeds a predetermined threshold, the mixed-reality system executes an interaction between the controller and the virtual object that has the greatest orientation similarity score.
