Patent number: 11954504Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a method of cloud infrastructure optimization. The method identifies an existing infrastructure configuration deployed in a cloud environment and generates a plurality of proposal configurations, each of the plurality of proposal configurations having executable code configured to adjust the existing infrastructure configuration for at least one variable. The method selects a proposal configuration from the plurality of proposal configurations based on the at least one variable adjusted for in the existing infrastructure configuration, and the selected proposal configuration is deployed in the cloud environment. The method then analyzes the selected proposal configuration for a level of adjustment for the at least one variable. The method trains a model engine with existing and new training data.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Daniel Vincent Safronoff, Ron Meck, James Hounshell, Eric Schultz

Patent number: 11928157Abstract: A constraint system enforces projection constraints on data values stored in specified columns of a shared dataset when queries are received by a database system. A projection constraint identifies that the data in a column may be restricted from being projected (e.g., presented, read, outputted) in an output to a received query, while allowing specified operations to be performed on the data and a corresponding output to be provided. For example, the projection constraint may indicate a context for a query that triggers the constraint, such as based on the user that submitted the query. Enforcing projection constraints on queries received at the database system allows for data to be shared and used anonymously by entities to perform various operations without the need to tokenize the data.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Snowflake Inc.Inventors: Khalid Zaman Bijon, Thierry Cruanes, Simon Holm Jensen, Allison Waingold Lee, Daniel N.

Publication number: 20230239971Abstract: A system and method for providing warmth to a person, particularly a skier, in cold or inclement outdoor elements. Skiing is an outdoor winter sport where participants need to have proper clothing and equipment to stay warm in order to participate at optimal strength. Traveling on open-air lifts may cause skiers to become cold. The present disclosure provides a warming wrap that may be placed on a ski pole or other handheld device. A heating device integrated in the warming wrap transmits warmth through an outer layer whereas an insulating layer limits heat from escaping into the pole. The warming wrap contains a heating device that transmits heat from the heating layer to a person who touches the outer layer of the warming wrap. A grip layer alone or together with a fastener arrangement prevents the wrap from sliding down the pole. The preferred placement of the wrap on the pole rather than on a grip or in a glove or mitten provides the skier with better control and balance of the ski pole.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: William David Schultz, William Daniel Schultz
