  • Publication number: 20250182423
    Abstract: The technology described herein is directed to spatial interface for multi-modal input to artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools. The interface allows for a first mode of input, such as selection of one or more objects using a movable window that can be resized and reshaped by a user. In addition, the interface allows for a second mode of input, such as text or voice commands. The AI powered tools accept the inputs from the first and second modes and dynamically generates a response.

  • Patent number: 11593712
    Abstract: One or more processors may output for display, an interface including a data classification section including two or more class nodes, a training section including a training node, and an evaluation section including an evaluation node. At a first class node a first set of training data may be captured and at a second class node a second set of training data may be captured. In response to an input received at the training node, a classification model based on the first set of training data and the second set of training data may be trained. Evaluation data may be captured in an evaluation node, and using the trained classification model, classifications for each piece of the evaluation data may be determined. A visual representation of the classification for each piece of the evaluation data may be output for display within the evaluation node.

  • Patent number: 11386058
    Abstract: Provided herein are data cloud administration techniques that achieve autonomy by using a rules engine that reacts to a database system event by autonomously submitting an asynchronous job to reconfigure a database. In an embodiment, a rules engine receives an event from a DBMS. Based on the event, the rules engine executes a rule to generate a request that indicates configuration details for a database. The rules engine sends the request to a request broker. The request broker dispatches an asynchronous job based on the request. The asynchronous job configures the database based on the configuration details. Thus, databases in a cloud, data grid, or data center may be administered autonomously (without human intervention) base on dynamic conditions that are foreseen and unforeseen.

  • Patent number: 11327932
    Abstract: Provided herein are workload management techniques that asynchronously configure pluggable databases within a compute cloud. In an embodiment, the compute cloud receives an administrative request that indicates configuration details for a pluggable database. The compute cloud generates a configuration descriptor that specifies an asynchronous job based on the configuration details of the request. The compute cloud accesses hosting metadata to detect at least one of: a) a current container database that already hosts the pluggable database, b) a target container database that will host the pluggable database, or c) a particular computer that hosts at least one of: the current container database, or the target container database. The compute cloud executes the asynchronous job to configure the pluggable database based on at least one of: the hosting metadata, or the configuration descriptor.

  • Publication number: 20200242495
    Abstract: Providing updated build parameters to an additive manufacturing machine to improve quality of a part manufactured by the machine. Sensor data is received from the additive manufacturing machine during manufacture of the part using a first set of build parameters. The first set of build parameters is received. An evaluation parameter is determined based on the first set of build parameters and the received sensor data. Thermal data is generated based on a thermal model of the part derived from the first set of build parameters. A first algorithm is applied to the received sensor data, the determined evaluation parameter, and the generated thermal data to produce a second set of build parameters, the first algorithm being trained to improve the evaluation parameter. The second set of build parameters is output to the additive manufacturing machine to produce a second part.
