Publication number: 20210109923Abstract: A method for contextual data visualization includes receiving data selected by a user and meta-data associated with the data. The data is analyzed, using a processor of a computing device, to determine content and structure attributes of the data that are relevant to visualization of the data. The meta-data is analyzed, using a processor of the computing device, to determine a context in which the visualization of the data will be used. A database comprising an aggregation of visualization records from a plurality of users is accessed and at least one template from the data visualization records that matches the data attributes and context is selected. A data visualization is created by applying at least one template to the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Al Chakra, John Feller, Trudy L.

Patent number: 10633671Abstract: Disclosed is a dsRNA construct used to silencing specific eukaryotic translation initiation factor in plants to produce a plant resistant to viruses such as Potyviruses, Luteoviruses, and Furoviruses. More specifically, the plant would be resistant to viruses such as Wheat streak mosaic virus, Triticum mosaic virus, Soil bourne mosaic virus, or Barley yellow dwarf virus. Also disclosed are non-transgenic wheat plants having the genes for eIF(iso)4E-2 or eIF4G silenced.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: John Fellers, Harold N. Trick, Luisa Cruz, Jessica Rupp

Patent number: 10601785Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable obscuring a query from an external web service provider. More specifically, a user-submitted query is split into at least two non-identical, secondary search queries. The non-identical search queries are submitted to an external web services provider separately, at different times spread throughout a search timeframe, from different virtual locations, thereby obscuring the original search query from the external web services provider. An internal system receives and merges the search results of the non-identical secondary queries from the external web services provider. The internal system then performs a second search on the merged results using the original user-submitted search query to find the results within the merged results that are most relevant to the original query. These relevant results are then presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John A. Feller, Hank Ibell, William Lucy, Joseph Marrero Corchado

Patent number: 10397302Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for receiving a set of attributes that identify a pegged area of a page delivered to a user interface during a first browsing session and storing the set of attributes. Additionally, the set of attributes may be used to conduct a subsequent delivery of the pegged area to a user interface during a second browsing session, wherein the subsequent delivery of the pegged area excludes portions of the page that are outside the pegged area. In one example, the subsequent delivery is conducted further based on the type of client device participating in the second browsing session.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Al Chakra, John A.

Patent number: 10372754Abstract: An approach is described for creating an audio file sample based upon user preferences. An associated method may include detecting selection of an audio file by a user, wherein the selection of the audio file occurs via a communications network and indexing the audio file to create a plurality of indexed segments based upon audio analysis. The method further may include selecting at least one segment among the plurality of indexed segments based upon a profile of the user and incorporating the at least one selected segment into an audio sample having a designated length. Indexing the audio file to create a plurality of indexed segments based upon audio analysis may include, for each audio characteristic among a plurality of designated audio characteristics, creating from the audio file at least one indexed segment corresponding to the audio characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Al Chakra, John A.

Patent number: 10169456Abstract: A method, a system and a computer program product provide responses to inquiries residing within text processed by an application. An inquiry is identified within text being processed by the application, and a context of the identified inquiry is determined. One or more available data sources is searched to produce a series of responses to the identified inquiry, and the series of responses is evaluated to rank and determine an accuracy level value for each response. The ranked responses along with associated accuracy levels can be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2012Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Al Chakra, John A.

Patent number: 10163006Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: obtaining an unmarked questionnaire form and creating form metrics data of the unmarked questionnaire form, receiving a selection marked form having freehand marks and determining selections data by quantifying a center point of a freehand mark and by comparing the center point with the form metrics data. Selections data may be adjusted according to positional consistency amongst the freehand marks if one mark is ambiguous as to the distances to answer choices.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: John A.

Patent number: 9996251Abstract: A method for sharing a view presented on a touchscreen of a processing system. Whether a show gesture state is enabled on the processing system and whether a gesture event gate is open on the processing system are determined. The show gesture state determines whether a gesture detected by the touchscreen is depicted onto a version of the view shared with another processing system. The gesture event gate determines whether a corresponding gesture event is passed to an application that is active in the view.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: John A.
