  • Patent number: 11972180
    Abstract: A method and computing system operable for displaying a first routing diagram on a display. The first routing diagram is a member of a first set of routing diagrams that includes multiple different routing diagrams. Displaying the first routing diagram includes displaying a user-selectable control and a first portion of a particular routable component within the first routing diagram. The user-selectable control corresponds to a location of the display where a first terminal connected to the particular routable component or a second terminal connected or connectable to the first terminal is displayed. An additional function include determining, by a processor, a selection of the user-selectable control occurs while the first routing diagram is displayed on the display. A further function includes displaying, on the display in response to determining the selection of the user-selectable control occurs, the second routing diagram with a second portion of the particular routable component highlighted.

  • Patent number: 11822785
    Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for managing focus for an application having a plurality of application user interface components. Initially, a first user interface component receives a first keystroke. Responsive to receiving the first keystroke, the application transitions from a default or pointing device navigation mode to a managed or keyboard navigation mode. The first user interface component receives a second keystroke, and responsive thereto invokes an application focus manager to set a destination user interface component identifier. Next, a second user interface component associated with the destination user interface component identifier compares the destination user interface component identifier to its own component identifier. Finally, the second user interface component claims keyboard input focus in the application.

  • Patent number: 11790265
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for reducing bias in active learning. In an embodiment, a data point is selected from a training dataset for a current training iteration while monitoring for data bias at each addition of data to a virtual training dataset. In addition, a machine learning model is examined for bias after adding the selected data point to the virtual training dataset. When data bias and/or model bias is detected, the data point is considered for potential label modification. The selected data point is modified and, if the raw value of the modified data point is within a predefined tolerance and within a bin of a desired class, the modified data point having a label of the target class is retained. Otherwise, it can be discarded.
