  • Publication number: 20240311344
    Abstract: In a cloud system that includes a cloud server and multiple edge devices implementing the ThingWorx platform, an improved file transfer method for transferring multiple files from the edge device to a file repository of the cloud server. The method provides multi-level path traversal and copy from a specified root level, in a file system containing a plurality of nested variably named paths, with the abilities to exclude path(s) in the path traversal and copy, to specify custom date(s) in the past as the earliest date to transfer file(s), to specify and track copy retries, and to track and report file copy metrics.

  • Patent number: 10247823
    Abstract: Sonar rendering systems and methods are described herein. One example is an apparatus that includes a transducer element, position sensing circuitry, processing circuitry, and a display device. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive raw sonar data and positioning data, convert the raw sonar data into range cell data based at least on amplitudes of the return echoes, make a location-based association between the raw sonar data and the positioning data, plot the range cell data based on respective positions derived from the positioning data and rotate the range cell data based on a direction of movement of the watercraft to generate adjusted range cell data. The processing circuitry may be further configured to convert the adjusted range cell data into sonar image data, and cause the display device to render the sonar image data with a presentation of a geographic map.

  • Publication number: 20190034540
    Abstract: The usefulness of a search engine depends, among other things, on ease of use in ad hoc queries. This is particularly challenging in security and operations domains. One thing that makes it challenging is late binding schemas that encourage revision of schemas on the fly. The technology disclosed has been applied in security and operations domains, with late binding schemas, to translate domain specific natural language queries into executable search queries.

  • Patent number: 9298079
    Abstract: Described herein are implementations of various technologies for a method and apparatus for a method and apparatus for displaying sonar images. In one implementation, sonar images that are currently being recorded may be displayed on a regular pane. Further, condensed sonar images that had previously been recorded and that are currently being recorded may be displayed on a preview pane, while recording the sonar images.

One example is an apparatus that includes a transducer element, position sensing circuitry, processing circuitry, and a display device. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive raw sonar data and positioning data, convert the raw sonar data into range cell data based at least on amplitudes of the return echoes, make a location-based association between the raw sonar data and the positioning data, plot the range cell data based on respective positions derived from the positioning data and rotate the range cell data based on a direction of movement of the watercraft to generate adjusted range cell data. The processing circuitry may be further configured to convert the adjusted range cell data into sonar image data, and cause the display device to render the sonar image data with a presentation of a geographic map.

  • Patent number: 8601401
    Abstract: An apparatus for synchronizing cursor events may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an indication of a cursor event of a cursor presented within and associated with a sourcing window of a user interface that also includes a sourced window, wherein the cursor of the sourcing window indicates a geographical location within the geographical area presented by the sourcing window. Additionally, the processor may be configured to communicate information reflecting the cursor event to the sourced window. The processor may further be configured to subject the cursor of the sourced window to the cursor event reflected by the information to thereby synchronize a cursor event of the cursor of the sourced window with the cursor event of the cursor of the sourcing window, wherein the cursor of the sourced window indicates the geographical location indicated by the cursor of the sourcing window.

  • Publication number: 20080195313
    Abstract: An apparatus for utilization of logged data visualization for optimization of an operational parameter associated with a particular route may include a route determining element, a data recording element and a data display element. The data recording element may be configured to provide stored route data associated with each of one or more stored routes. Each stored route may include respective a first point and a second point. The route determining element may be configured to receive current route data associated with a current route. The current route may include respective a first point to a second point. The route data may be received during transit of the current route and the route determining element may compare the stored route data to the current route data to determine a stored route the same or similar to the current route.
