Patent number: 11550688Abstract: Back end calls triggered by a user interaction with a client user interface may be identified. The user interaction may be correlated with a logic flow, and the logic flow may be associated with the back end calls. A supervised learning model may be trained using a labeled data set comprising the back end calls and their associated logic flow. Rules may be derived from the supervised learning model for classifying other back end calls. The rules may be outputted to a classifier that utilizes the rules to associate the other back end calls with the logic flow.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: MICRO FOCUS LLCInventor: Christopher Byrd

Patent number: 11423053Abstract: A log event cluster analytics management method may involve storing a first portion of an entire cluster dictionary in a transient memory, storing at least a second portion of the entire cluster dictionary in a persistent database and comparing a new log event message to the first portion of the overall cluster dictionary. In response to not assigning the new log event message to any cluster in the first portion of the entire cluster dictionary in the transient memory, selecting a subset of clusters of the at least second portion of the cluster dictionary in the persistent database, comparing the new log event message to a cluster of the selected subset of clusters and assigning the new log event message to the cluster of the selected subset of clusters based upon the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2016Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: MICRO FOCUS LLCInventor: Christopher Byrd

Patent number: 9665909Abstract: A method, executed by a processor, for generating a transaction classification rule that can be applied to unclassified transactions. The method includes receiving an identification of an existing unclassified transaction upon which the classification rule will be based; generating identification rules to identify subsequent unclassified transactions as similar to the existing unclassified transaction; generating the classification rule using the identified transaction; and storing the classification rule for application to the subsequent unclassified transactions. Application of the generated classification rule to the subsequent unclassified transactions produces transactions classified according to the classification rule.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2010Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventor: Christopher Byrd

Patent number: 8928269Abstract: A power system that supplies electrical power to at least one load is disclosed. The power system may include an electrical power generator, current sensors configured to provide current signals representative of currents output from the electrical power generator to the load, and voltage sensors configured to provide voltage signals representative of voltages output from the electrical power generator to the load. The power system may also include a controller configured to receive the current signals and the voltage signals, compare the current signals and the voltage signals to a predetermined map, determine whether a short circuit exists inside the electrical power generator based on the comparison, and send a command to turn off the electrical power generator when the short circuit exists inside the electrical power generator.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Paul Curtis Pawelski, Ryan Christopher Byrd

Patent number: 7395904Abstract: An actuator arrangement for a disc brake for moving first and second friction members into engagement with a rotor and effect a brake application. The actuator arrangement includes first and second levers that are pivotally connected to an anchor located in a plane that is perpendicular to first and second rails on which the first and second friction member are retained, a third lever that is connected to the first lever and a yoke to receive a second end of the second lever and align a first ramp surface thereon with a second ramp surface on its end and an input linkage. The input linkage receives an input force and moves on the first and second ramp surfaces to pull on the first lever and push on the second lever to move the first and second friction members into engagement with the rotor to effect a brake application.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2005Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Assignee: Robert Basoh GmbHInventors: Christopher Byrd, John Clark

Patent number: 6948276Abstract: Certain novel formulations of turf additives that act in such a manner as to permit proper amounts of moisture to contact root systems in order to reduce dry spots within highly managed turf areas and/or lawns. The inventive formulation comprising multi-branched surfactant compounds with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic constituents within each branch attached to an oxygen-containing polyfunctional base compound permits effective moisture penetration through such localized dry spots for sustained grass growth therein. Importantly, such multi-branched wetting agents provide sustained moisture penetration over a sustained period of time since the individual branches of such compounds may become dissociated from its base polyfunctional compound. Since such branches include both hydrophobic and hydrophilic constituents themselves, and thus act as wetting agents, even after degradation of the initial surfactant compound, long-term wetting and moisture penetration, at least, are permitted.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2004Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Milliken & CompanyInventors: Randy D. Petrea, Christopher Byrd, Shirley Anne Whiteside

Publication number: 20050193791Abstract: Certain novel formulations of plant growth media additives that act in such a manner as to permit proper amounts of moisture to contact root systems in order to reduce hydrophobicity within said media. The inventive formulation comprising multi-branched surfactant compounds with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic constituents within each branch attached to a polyfunctional base compound permit effective moisture penetration through plant growth media for sustained seedling and plant growth therein. Such multi-branched wetting agents provide sustained moisture penetration over a sustained period of time, since the individual branches of such compounds may become dissociated from its base polyfunctional compound. Since such branches include both hydrophobic and hydrophilic constituents themselves, and thus act as wetting agents, even after degradation of the initial surfactant compound, repeated wetting and moisture penetration, at least, are permitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2005Publication date: September 8, 2005Inventors: Randy Petrea, Shirley Whiteside, Christopher Byrd

Publication number: 20050103531Abstract: A seal assembly for a shaft supporting a rotary element comprises a sealing ring having an inner radial surface in contact with a seal surface of the shaft. The sealing ring comprising a disc shaped integral radial lip normal to the inner radial surface. A disc shaped seal shield is assembled in sealing contact with a first surface of the integral disc shaped radial lip and also in sealing contact with a first radial surface of an annular seal groove. An energizer positioned in the annular seal groove is in contact with the bottom surface of the groove and a second radial surface of the groove. The energizer exerts a radial force on the outer radial surface of the sealing ring and a lateral force on the integral radial lip of the sealing ring.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2004Publication date: May 19, 2005Inventor: Christopher Byrd
