  • Patent number: 11593678
    Abstract: A model designer creates models for machine learning applications while focusing on reducing the carbon footprint of the machine learning application. The model designer can automatically extract features of a machine learning application from requirements documents and automatically generate source code to implement that machine learning application. The model designer then uses computing statistics of previous models and machine learning applications to determine hardware limitations or restrictions to be placed on machine learning application or model. The designer then adds or adjusts the source code to enforce these hardware limitations and restrictions.

  • Patent number: 11593101
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to modifying the functionality of software applications using object-oriented configuration data. In some embodiments, a configuration module may receive, from an application hosted within a server system, a request for configuration data that is usable to modify the manner in which the application performs a computing operation. In some embodiments, the request may specify a particular data object and include contextual information. The configuration may receive, from a configuration service in the server system, a configuration data package that includes a default definition for the particular data object and an override definition for a contextual override of the particular data object. The configuration module may determine, based on the contextual information, that the contextual override applies and return the configuration data, including data from the override definition, to the application.

  • Patent number: 11586464
    Abstract: A W-graph system comprising a server connected with a plurality of clients via a network. Each client/user performs a design task via a design application while the server collects timestamped event data. The server generates a plurality of W-graphs for a plurality of tasks based on the collected event data. Each W-graph comprises one or more representative workflows, each representative workflow comprising at least one merged node representing nodes from different workflows for different users performing the same task. A W-graph for a task selected by the user may be viewed in a W-graph GUI. A user may also select a W-suggest function to have a current workflow for a task analyzed for optimization based on a W-graph generated for the same task. A modified current workflow is generated that highlights user techniques in the current workflow that are less efficient than user techniques in the W-graph.

  • Patent number: 11579865
    Abstract: A vehicle information communication system includes a center apparatus and a vehicle apparatus that includes a group of electronic control units (ECUs) and that sends vehicle configuration information including configuration information on the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle to the center apparatus via wireless communications. The center apparatus performs a first determination of whether the vehicle configuration information received from the vehicle apparatus matches approved-configuration information registered in an approved-configuration database, and performs a second determination of whether software update data for at least one ECU of the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle exists in an update database. When both the first and second determinations are true, the center apparatus sends the software update data for at least one ECU of the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle to the vehicle apparatus via the wireless communications.

  • Patent number: 11567749
    Abstract: A vehicle electronic control system includes a center device and a master device and a data relay device capable of performing data communication therebetween. The center device obtains campaign information of the program update, transmits the obtained campaign information to the data relay device, and transmits the update data to the data relay device. When receiving the campaign information from the center device, the data relay device changes setting of the received campaign information and delivers the information to the master device, and, when receiving the update data from the center device, the data relay device delivers the received update data to the master device. When receiving the campaign information from the data relay device, the master device instructs a target electronic control device to update the program with the update data received from the data relay device according to the received campaign information.

  • Patent number: 11567853
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution is provided to mine trace data, detangle it, and rewrite the trace data without redundancy. In an example embodiment, mining may take place before detangling, but such an ordering is not mandatory. Combining mining with detangling solves the technical problem of the production of difficult-to-read service traces, as it mines the “interesting” parts, corrects the timestamp order, and removes redundancy.

  • Patent number: 11556353
    Abstract: A method for selectively generating suggested default values for I/O configurations is provided. The method identifies a first selection including a first input value for an I/O configuration. The method determines a set of remaining input options based on the first selection. The method accesses a set of decision trees based on the set of remaining input options and selects a decision tree of the set of decision trees based on the first input value. The method generates a suggested value for a subsequent selection for the I/O configuration and causes presentation of the suggested value and a user interface element representing the subsequent selection.
