Publication number: 20190311650Abstract: A system and method may generate a set of meal recommendations. A calorie remainder for a predetermined period of time may be identified based on health data. Restaurant recommendations may be identified using map data, and meal recommendations and their correlated caloric content may be identified based on restaurant data. A caloric expenditure for travel to each of the restaurants may be determined by the system. Finally a set of meal recommendations is generated, using the meals, the caloric remainder, and the caloric expenditure for travel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2018Publication date: October 10, 2019Inventors: Aiden J.

Patent number: 10318621Abstract: A computer-implemented method for collating and intelligent sequencing of installation documentation includes parsing one or more product installation documents to identify annotations associated with installation procedures. Installation procedure descriptions, parameters, and prerequisites associated with the identified annotations are extracted, and prescriptive step-by-step installation instructions that integrate installation procedures contained within the one or more installation documents are generated.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew M. Garratt, Andrew D. Humphreys, Martin G. Keen, John J. P. McNamara

Patent number: 9886266Abstract: In a method for managing updates for a software product, receiving a request to install a software product update, wherein the software product update modifies a software product on a computing device. The method further includes identifying a first set of one or more functions of the software product that are to be modified by the software product update. The method further includes identifying historical usage information corresponding to the software product, wherein the historical usage information indicates a second set of one or more functions of the software product and a number of times each respective function of the second set of one or more functions of the software product has been used by the computing device. The method further includes determining whether the software product update modifies at least one function of the software product that corresponds to historical usage information that exceeds a minimum usage threshold condition.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew M. Garratt, Andrew D. Humphreys, Martin G. Keen, John J. P. McNamara

Patent number: 9430540Abstract: The disclosure is directed to metal fatigue analytics and alert systems. A system in accordance with an embodiment includes: a first database on a vehicle, the database storing a list of at least one metal part in the vehicle and corresponding metal batch information for each metal part in the list; a second database on a server remote from the first database, the second database storing metal batch information for at least one batch of metal from which faulty metal parts have been constructed; a comparing system for comparing the metal batch information stored in the first database with the metal batch information stored in the second database; and a messaging system for generating a failure alert message when the comparing system finds a match between the metal batch information stored in the first database and the metal batch information stored in the second database.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2016Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew M. Garratt, Andrew D. Humphreys, Martin G. Keen, John J. P. McNamara
