Publication number: 20250094435Abstract: Typically, in-depth domain knowledge is required to efficiently query a data system. Accordingly, embodiments are disclosed for a no-code method for implementing data operations, such as extract, transform, load (ETL) operations on third-party platforms, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms. Disclosed embodiments may provide a graphical user interface that enables a user to construct a blueprint of a data operation using drag-and-drop operations on a virtual canvas. The blueprint may be translated into ETL instructions that are deployed on a proxy service for simplified access via a uniform resource locator (URL). When the URL is accessed, the proxy service may execute the ETL instructions to communicate with a domain-specific engine on a third-party platform to obtain the results of the data operation. These results may also be periodically cached according to time-to-live intervals to reduce overall retrieval times.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Sampathkumar Gurusamy, Dana Burkart, Alejandro Flores, Steve Lucas

Patent number: 12248528Abstract: Currently, changes to third-party software services, such as the deprecation of certain components, must be manually monitored. Accordingly, embodiments are disclosed to automatically monitor changes to such services in a scalable manner. In particular, monitors may be configured to scrape webpages at URLs associated with deprecation or other information about the services, and manage review and resolution of each substantive change. The monitors may be used to facilitate up-to-date adapters for interfacing with the services in an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) platform.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Boomi, LPInventors: Dana Burkart, Eli Annoni, Alejandro Flores

Patent number: 12223524Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for determining virtual product placement opportunities in a media content and determining product candidates for virtual insertion into the media content. The product placement system may determine shot segments from the media content and for each shot segment may determine candidate product placement locations. The product placement system may determine contextual information from the shot segments and from the contextual information determine candidate products suitable for the product placement locations. The product placement system may determine total screen time for each product placement opportunity as well as quality of each opportunity. For each product and product placement opportunity, the product placement system may determine an expected revenue and a projected insertion cost.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2022Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mauricio Alejandro Flores Rios, Han-Kai Hsu, Yujia Chen, Linda Liu, Yash Chaturvedi

Publication number: 20230142150Abstract: Conventionally, users of integration platforms, or other platforms that utilize many different services, must install, manage, configure, and administer the underlying resources for connectivity with the platforms. Adapter orchestration as a service (AOaaS) simplifies this process by enabling users to quickly and easily deploy an adapter orchestration service comprising instances of selected adapters for multiple services in discrete, autonomous containers that can be spun up and down as needed. The adapters may translate data for all of the services to a common format. Clients may access the data for all of the adapters in the adapter orchestration service via a single application programming interface (API) of the adapter orchestration service, which provides access to the data in the common format.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Alejandro Flores, Madhav Srimadh Bhagavatam, Ed Macosky, Rajesh Raheja, Dana Burkart

Patent number: 11574353Abstract: Examples disclosed herein are relevant to systems, methods, and other technology for determining furniture compatibility. For example, graph neural networks (GNNs) that leverage relational information between furniture items in a set may be used as models to predict a compatibility score indicative of visual compatibility of furniture items across the set. In one implementation, the GNN-based model can extend the concept of a siamese network to multiple inputs and branches and use a generalized contrastive loss function. In another implementation, the GNN-based model learns both an edge function and the function that generates the compatibility score. The predicted compatibility score can be used for a variety of purposes, including furniture item recommendations.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Luisa Fernanda Polanía Cabrera, Mauricio Alejandro Flores Ríos, Matthew Seth Nokleby, Yiran Li
