Patent number: 11943123Abstract: Determining a time-state metric includes receiving a stream of raw data values of an attribute. Each received raw data value of the attribute is associated with a timestamp. It further includes converting the received stream of raw data values into a timeline representation of the attribute over time. The timeline representation comprises a sequence of spans. A span comprises a span start time, a span end time, and a span value. The span value comprises an encoding of one or more values of the attribute over a time interval determined by the span start time and the span end time. It further includes determining a time-state metric according to a timeline request configuration. The timeline request configuration comprises one or more timeline operations. The time-state metric is computed at least in part by performing a timeline operation on the timeline representation of the attribute.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Conviva Inc.Inventors: Henry Milner, Oleg Puzyrko, Jibin Zhan, Hui Zhang, Akara Sucharitakul, Vyas Sekar, Yihua Cheng

Patent number: 11928944Abstract: Disclosures relate to a sensor system and arrangements having different sized removable spacers. The spacers may be mixed and matched as needed or desired to compensate for misalignment conditions. Further, different spacer combinations and adjustments may be guided by a security management computing device. Variations in configurations of mounting surfaces, such as door and window assemblies, may be accommodated. Alignment of a transmitter or a receiving device, e.g., a magnetic device, with respect to a transmitter or receiving device despite misalignment of the components due to, for example, uneven surfaces of a door or a window, or a respective frame may be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Devlyn Kornegay, Michael Jou, Zhe Zhang, Henry Homza, Nicholas Stefano

Patent number: 9705965Abstract: Systems and methods described herein presents a PaaS level application or app motion system that manages and moves applications between multiple PaaS instances in a hybrid cloud that includes both private and public cloud instances. Specifically, the system performs an app motion operation on an application by cloning, moving, and/or scaling up the application from one PaaS instance to one or more other PaaS instances in the hybrid cloud. Since the system achieves application mobility and scalability at the PaaS level by only moving the application and its associated data between the PaaS instances without moving the virtual machines (VMs), it could greatly reduce the amount of data transmitted during the process and save both time and network resources. It also enables enterprises to extend their applications from a private cloud to a public cloud and uniformly manage the applications cross the boundaries of the clouds.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2013Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Haining Henry Zhang, Figo Feng, Cheng Dan
