  • Patent number: 11310349
    Abstract: An image-based prediction service of a provider network may receive multivariate time series data (e.g., from different sensors for a machine) from a remote network of the client. The multivariate time series data includes different time series of data that are obtained from different data sources (e.g., sensors) over a time period. The image-based prediction service may transform the multivariate time series data into image data that represents an image. The image-based prediction service may then process the image data using one or more image processing models to generate a prediction (e.g., machine failure within a week). The image-based prediction service may send the prediction to the remote network.

  • Patent number: 7342675
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for improved operation and troubleshooting of a printing device. A printing device includes a master module wherein printing device operation data can be stored in non-volatile memory. The master module is provided with non-volatile memory or an uninterruptible power source so that the master module memory may be retained and dumped upon request. The memory dump may transmit the memory contents to a local external device through a port, such as an infrared port or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, or the memory contents may be transmitted to a remote location. The dumped data may then be analyzed to quickly identify a problem component in the printing device.

  • Patent number: 7301660
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for remote testing of printing devices. A printing device includes a browser that is configured to establish a remote connection with a network site maintained by a manufacturer of the printing device. Once a connection is established, the printing device requests that a test be performed. A test program at the manufacturer site downloads a print test in the native language of the printing device. If the print test fails, more complete diagnostics are run. A printing device user is informed of the result. A user can determine if the printing device is operational without first installing a software driver or making connections to a host. Operational problems are, therefore, more easily isolated and resolved.
