  • Patent number: 11194716
    Abstract: A method, system, and program product for implementing intelligent cache preloading is provided. The method includes monitoring current usage of a system of record (SOR) system. Historical data associated with historical usage of the SOR system is retrieved and analyzed based on the current usage. A ranked list of data items configured to be loaded within a cache structure of the cache system is generated and currently requested data items from the SOR system are loaded into the cache structure via a throttling process. A malfunction associated with operation of the SOR system is detected and access to the currently requested data items is enabled. The currently requested data items are organized within the cache structure in accordance with an order of the ranked list and access to the currently requested data items is enabled, during the malfunction, in accordance with the order of the ranked list.

  • Publication number: 20210342720
    Abstract: An event recommendation system recommends events for a candidate attendee. The system recommends an event based on characteristics of the candidate attendee and characteristics of prior attendees that attended a prior occurrence of the event. A prior attendee may have a positive or negative experience with the prior occurrence of the event. A positive experience may be defined, for example, as enjoying the event, completing the event, or performing well in the event. A negative experience may be defined, for example, as not enjoying the event, not completing the event, or not performing well in the event. An event is recommended to a candidate attendee if the candidate attendee has similar characteristics to a prior attendee that had a positive experience. An event is not recommended to a candidate attendee if the candidate attendee has similar characteristics as a prior attendee that had a negative experience.

  • Patent number: 11151672
    Abstract: Operations include recommending and presenting academic programs for students. An academic program recommendation model generates recommendations based on a target student's specific characteristics. An academic program is recommended to the target student if the target student's characteristics match the characteristics of other students that have successfully completed the academic program. An academic program is not recommended to the target student if the target student's characteristics match the characteristics of other students that have failed to complete the academic program after some threshold period of time. The system presents an interface for comparing multiple academic programs that have been evaluated in view of a target student's specific characteristics. The interface concurrently lists each of a set of academic programs with a corresponding likelihood of success determined for the target student.

  • Patent number: 11062411
    Abstract: Operations include identifying students at risk of dropping out or transferring from an academic institution. A student risk analyzer determines a risk score for a student, which may be used to determine whether the student is at-risk. The risk score may be based on a combination of factors. As an example, the risk score may be based on a similarity between (a) attributes of the student and (b) attributes of students that have previously dropped out or transferred to other institutions. A student retention interface displays risk information for students in aggregate form or individual form. The interface may display student information in a student-population view comprising aggregate student information. The interface may display a risk-category view comprising a subset of students. The interface may display an individual-profile view comprising detailed information about a particular student. The interface may allow for drill-down navigation between the views.

  • Patent number: 11010677
    Abstract: An event management system generates and displays an event schedule for an attendee. An initial order of the event schedule is based on (a) events already completed by the attendee, (b) events to be completed by the attendee to meet an event completion target, and (c) a set of ordering rules associated with the set of events to be completed by the attendee. The event management system may include an interface for modifying the event schedule in accordance with the set of ordering rules. The interface may include an initial set of events, in an initial order with respect to a timeline. The event management system may receive user input including a proposed modification to the initial order of the events. The event management system may or may not permit the proposed modification based on the set of ordering rules.

  • Patent number: 10612699
    Abstract: An improved coupling system for joining two items together, typically in the form of copper pipes, to other copper pipes, or in the form of other fittings, includes a pair of flange couplings, each of which is independently secured to one of the items to be joined together so that when the two flange couplings are securely joined to each other by suitable fasteners received through fastening apertures in the two flange couplings, the two items are sealingly joined to one another to form a substantially water tight junction. The improvement being that the bare metal parts of the ferrous components of the coupling are coated with a protective coating, such as a copper coating, so that there is no direct contact between two dissimilar metals thereby inhibiting or preventing corrosion of the metal components of the coupling due to electrolytic or galvanic action arising from direct contact between the two dissimilar metals.
