  • Publication number: 20250028630
    Abstract: A system and method to facilitate the evaluation of feature flags. The feature flags are operated by a set of rules also defined as a policy and these feature flags operate only when such conditions as prescribed in the policy are satisfied. The system and method define and store rules in a repository by assigning a unique identifier to each rule. Further, when a rule is updated, the new rule is assigned a new version identifier. A declarative query language is used for the rules to allow rule evaluation where inputs are provided to the rule evaluation that affects the resulting value. The system and method generated a defined type and an undefined type of response data as output after the evaluation of the input data.

  • Publication number: 20250029059
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach to process data and events from disparate ecosystems pertaining to products. An approach is provided to automatically cluster events from various ecosystems into noteworthy incidents and to correlate them with entities extracted from each system. Incidents are correlated between ecosystems to classify the type of incidents and to give a coherent converged picture of the event streams coming from the various ecosystems. Noteworthy incidents are automatically converted into tickets and their severity is ascertained from the associated incidents. Tickets that reference underlying defects with the product or service are converted into issues.

  • Patent number: 12172883
    Abstract: A dispenser may dispense a predetermined amount of fluid from a fluid container. The dispenser may include an actuator that applies a force to a nozzle of the fluid container to open the nozzle for a period of time based. The period of time may be based on the predetermined amount of fluid. The dispenser may include a weight sensor, wherein the weight sensor detects a weight of the fluid in a fluid container. The period of time may be based on the weight of the fluid in the fluid container.

  • Publication number: 20230222232
    Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for dynamically applying roles and access levels to an actor based at least in part upon a set of conditions an object should meet for the role to be assumed. The approach may dynamically determine privileges based at least in part upon API endpoints and operations. A multi-factor approach may be taken for determining authorization based at least in part upon conditions, attributes, and policy.

  • Publication number: 20220350498
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach for implementing and maintaining writable snapshots. An efficient approach is provided for implementing snapshots that can be used to immediately create snapshots without incurring any detectable delays in providing access to the new snapshots. Also described are improved metadata structures that can be used to implement and maintain the writable snapshots.

  • Patent number: 11055181
    Abstract: A computer implemented method implemented with a processor for assigning a unique identifier for a data item initially deployed at a cluster of a networked environment that includes determining a unique cluster identifier for the cluster of the networked environment, atomically modifying a local counter value at the cluster of the networked environment and appending the unique cluster identifier to the atomically modified local counter value at the cluster of the networked environment to form a unique ID for the data item.

  • Patent number: 10884870
    Abstract: Disclosed is an approach for implementing disaster recovery for virtual machines. Consistency groups are implemented for virtual machines, where the consistency group link together two or more VMs. The consistency group includes any set of VMs which need to be managed on a consistent basis in the event of a disaster recovery scenario.

  • Patent number: 10614460
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention directed to systems and methods that allow for determining a transaction initiation mode used to conduct a transaction and applying a specific set of rules associated with the transaction initiation mode to the transaction. A transaction authorization request message is received at a server computer. The transaction authorization message is for a transaction between a consumer and a merchant and includes a plurality of data elements. The server computer determines a transaction initiation mode, from among at least three different transaction initiation modes, used to conduct the transaction based at least in part on the data elements. The server computer applies a specific set of rules associated with the transaction initiation mode to the transaction.

  • Patent number: 10380600
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for identifying a problem from unstructured input includes executing on a computer processor the step of identifying context of a problem description from a service support k ticket which adds one or more tags to the service support ticket, each tag corresponding to an end-user symptom within the problem domain. Intent is mapped according to a machine learning model and the one or more tags which identifies a problem and a confidence measure.
