  • Patent number: 11966392
    Abstract: Adding a column into a worksheet, including: receiving, via a spreadsheet interface comprising a first worksheet, a request to add a new column to the first worksheet, wherein the request includes a key that identifies a reference column in the first worksheet, a specification of a second worksheet that comprises a corresponding reference column related by the key, and a specification of a data column in the second worksheet, wherein each entry of the data column is associated with an entry of the corresponding reference column in the second worksheet, and entries to be included in the requested new column will be based on the entries of the data column; generating, based on the request, a database query; and receiving, from a database and in response to the database query, a query result comprising the new column to be added to the first worksheet.

  • Patent number: 11961047
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for collecting, organizing, and managing third-party content from multiple sources associated with a user account to present as synthesized tasks in a consolidated graphical user interface and minimize the distraction provided by multiple interfaces. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems analyze content from various web-based data sources, collect relevant content, create synthesized tasks associated with the relevant content, and present the relevant content to the user grouped into synthesized tasks in a single graphical user interface. Additionally, the disclosed systems can prioritize the generated synthesized tasks within the graphical user interface and provide productivity metrics based on the degree to which an associated user interacts with the synthesized tasks.

  • Publication number: 20230251999
    Abstract: A system and method for accelerated content classification and routing of digital files in a data handling and data governance service includes identifying a digital computer file; sequentially routing the digital computer file to one or more machine learning-based content classification models of a plurality of distinct machine learning-based content classification models based on a service-defined model instantiation and execution sequence, wherein: the service-defined model instantiation and execution sequence defines a model instantiation and execution order for the plurality of distinct machine learning-based content classification models that enables a fast content classification of the digital computer file while minimizing a computation time or runtime of the one or more machine learning-based content classification models; computing, via a machine learning-based filename classification model, a content classification inference based on extracted filename feature data of the digital computer file; and

  • Publication number: 20220335212
    Abstract: Data visualization with derived dimensional hierarchy including presenting, by a table manager via a graphical user interface (GUI) on a client computing system, column identifiers from a table retrieved from a cloud-based data warehouse; receiving, by the table manager, an instruction to generate a first visualization, wherein the instruction to generate the first visualization comprises a selection of column identifiers; deriving, by the table manager, a dimensional hierarchy based on the selected column identifiers; and generating, by the table manager based on the derived dimensional hierarchy, the first visualization in the GUI of the client computing system.

  • Publication number: 20220058215
    Abstract: Various embodiments set forth systems and techniques for personalizing censorship of digital content. The techniques include generating, based on a user characteristic, a censorship profile associated with a user, wherein the censorship profile identifies a censorship element; determining a censorship feature associated with the censorship element, wherein the censorship feature is to be activated during playback of digital content that includes the censorship element; identifying, based on temporal boundaries data and temporal facet data associated with a digital content item, one or more portions of the digital content item that include at least one element matching the censorship element; and activating the censorship feature during playback of the one or more portions of the digital content item.

  • Publication number: 20110008655
    Abstract: A cell connection strap for electrically connecting a pair of adjacent battery cells within a battery pack includes, in one example, a fusible link for preventing a thermal runaway condition from occurring in a cell connected thereto. The strap may include raised features thereon for permitting relative movement between the cells in the pack due to vibration or an impact of the pack from translating stress to welds connecting the straps to the cells. In another example, the body of the cell strap may include slits formed in sides thereof to reduce rigidity of the strap for protecting the welds between strap and cell, and also provides a fusible link capability in the strap for preventing a thermal runaway condition from occurring in a cell connected thereto.
