  • Patent number: 10895972
    Abstract: Methods and systems for presenting time series for analysis. A method includes presenting a first visualization of summary information for an initial data set of a plurality of batches, presenting a filtered data set of the initial data set having a first batch identifier associated with a first batch and the second batch identifier associated with a second batch, executing a time series connector including transmitting a request to a time series application, the request comprising the first batch identifier, the second batch identifier, and the time series configuration data. The method further includes causing presentation of a user interface comprising a chart including a first plot for first time series data for the first batch identifier and a second plot for second time series data for the second batch identifier, the chart configured to the time series configuration data, and the first plot is aligned to the second plot.

  • Publication number: 20190325624
    Abstract: Methods and systems for structuring, storing and displaying time series data in a user interface. One system includes processors executing instructions to determine, from time series data from a first sensor, a first subset of time series data for the first batch from the first start time and the first end time, determine, from the time series data from the first sensor, a second subset of time series data for the second batch from the second start time and the second end time, generate a time series user interface comprising a chart, the chart including a first plot for the first subset of time series data and a second plot for the second subset of time series data, the first plot being aligned to the second plot, and cause presentation of the time series user interface.

  • Publication number: 20060036853
    Abstract: Systems and methods that support storage device content authentication are provided. A system that verifies storage device content received from a storage device may comprise, for example, a security processor coupled to the storage device. The security processor may be adapted to receive a partitioned storage device region from the storage device. The partitioned storage device region may comprise, for example, regional content and first hashed regional content. The security processor may generate, for example, second hashed regional content by performing a hashing function on the regional content received by the security processor. The security processor may compare, for example, the first hashed regional content to the second hashed regional content. The security processor may verify the regional content received by the security processor if the first hashed regional content is the same as the second hashed regional content.
