Patents by Inventor Anthony Christopher Karloff

Anthony Christopher Karloff has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10860947
    Abstract: Executing a graph. A method includes identifying that a graph includes one or more nodes having input ports that are coupled to alternative inputs. The method further includes identifying permutations of inputs where each permutation uses one of the alternative inputs. The method further includes executing the graph for each of the identified permutations. The method further includes identifying a metric for each execution of the graph for each of the permutations. The method further includes providing a user with an indication of the metrics.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10764164
    Abstract: A graphical user interface system that visually represents a graph node having multiple input ports, and that automatically adjusts the number of input ports to the graph node as open input ports are connected to upstream graph node(s) and/or as used input ports are disconnected from upstream graph node(s). Upon detecting that a set of one or more input ports has just been connected to one or more upstream graph nodes, the system may automatically add one or more additional input ports to the visual representation of the graph node without explicit user instruction. Upon detecting that a set of one or more of the input ports has just been disconnected from one or more upstream graph nodes, the system may automatically remove the determined one or more input ports from the visual representation of the graph node.
