  • Publication number: 20240134914
    Abstract: A method identifies related data visualizations. A computing device displays a data visualization according to a data source. The data visualization displays of one or more first data fields from the data source, and is displayed according to one or more first metadata fields. The device identifies a collection of predefined data visualizations for the data source. For each element in the collection, the device computes a respective ranking according to a plurality of influence scores, each influence score computed according to comparing data fields and metadata fields of the respective predefined data visualization to the one or more first data fields and the one or more associated first metadata fields. The device then selects a subset of the predefined data visualizations that have top ranking and provides an ordered list of the selected subset, including at least one influence score for each included data visualization.

  • Publication number: 20230143734
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing visualizations of data. Visualizations to monitor may be determined based on metrics associated with the monitored visualizations. Mark values may be sampled from each monitored visualization such that the sampled mark values may be stored with a timestamp. If an amount of the sampled mark values for a monitored visualization exceeds a threshold value mark models may be trained to classify a portion of the sampled mark values associated with the monitored visualization such that the mark models may predict ranges of values for the classified mark values associated with the monitored visualization. If the portion of the classified mark values associated with the monitored visualization has a value outside of the predicted range values, indicating that the monitored visualization may be associated with an anomalous mark value.

  • Patent number: 11639932
    Abstract: An apparatus for capturing a target analyte in advance of performing spectroscopic analysis to determine the existence of the target analyte from a source contacted with a collection substrate. The collection substrate is fabricated of a material selected to have an affinity for the target analyte, sufficiently transparent in a spectral region of interest and capable of immobilizing the target analyte thereon in a manner that limits scattering sufficient to obscure spectral analysis. The collection substrate may be coated with a material selected to react with, bind to, or absorb the target analyte. The target analyte may be captured to the collection substrate by one or more of wiping, dabbing or swabbing a target analyte carrier with the collection substrate.

  • Patent number: 11622147
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable storage media, and systems that apply a blur filter to a digital video stream of a user to a recipient based on blur settings. The disclosed system receives a request to initiate a digital video communication between a first user (e.g., a customer) associated with a first user client device and a second user (e.g., an agent) associated with a second user client device. The disclosed system determines a blur setting (e.g., a degree of blur and an amount of time) associated with the second user indicating to blur a digital video stream from the first user client device at the second user client device. The disclosed system initiates the digital video communication by presenting a blur filter on the digital video stream according to the blur setting for display at the second user client device.

  • Publication number: 20230026981
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, non-transitory computer readable storage media, and systems that obscure digital video streams during digital video communications while maintaining connections corresponding to the digital video communications. The disclosed system determines that a first user client device is involved in an ongoing digital video communication with a second user client device in which the first client device is receiving a digital video stream from the second user client device. The disclosed system provides, to the first user client device, an option to obscure the digital video stream from the second user client (e.g., via a “panic button” interface element). In response to a selection of the option, the disclosed system then obscures the digital video stream at the first user client device while maintaining a connection corresponding to the digital video communication between the first user client device and the second user client device.

  • Patent number: 11523087
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for establishing a video connection between a client device and a notary support terminal while enabling the client device and notary support terminal to notarize a digital document. In particular, the client device can display multiple panes simultaneously, the multiple panes including a first pane that displays the video chat and a second pane that displays at least one notarization interface for notarizing the digital document. While the client device displays the multiple panes and during the video chat, the disclosed systems can notarize the digital document by authenticating the user of the client device, collecting signatures from the user of the client device and the notary associated with the notary support terminal, and applying an electronic notary seal to the digital document.

  • Publication number: 20220237229
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing visualizations of data. A visualization associated with one or more community visualizations that are associated with an organization may be displayed. A recommendation score may be generated for each of the community visualizations based on a comparison of meta-data fields. Top ranked community visualizations may be determined based on the recommendation score associated with each of the community visualizations. An influence score may be determined the meta-data fields based on a proportion of a value each meta-data field contributes to the recommendation score of a corresponding top ranked community visualization. A report that includes a rank ordered list of the top ranked community visualizations and the top ranked other meta-data fields may be provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 11313720
    Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of optical spectrometers that are limited by nonrandom or fixed pattern noise. A signal from a sample is collected using a short test exposure, a total observation time to maximize SNR is calculated, and the total observation time is achieved by averaging multiple exposures whose time is selected based on the time dependent noise structure of the detector. Moreover, with a priori knowledge of the time dependent noise structure of the spectrometer, this method is easily automatable and can maximize SNR for a spectrum of an unknown compound without any user input.

  • Patent number: 10887713
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for testing a microphone of a device under test. The apparatus includes a speaker, a mount or bracket that secures a device under test a fixed distance from the speaker, and a controller. The controller causes the speaker to generate a test signal at various amplitudes. The controller receives an output signal generated by the microphone in response to the test signal and generates a prediction of whether the microphone is defective based on the output signal. The prediction may be generated by a machine-learning model such as a neural network or other trained classifier.
