  • Patent number: 11941979
    Abstract: The present application discloses a traffic light control method for an urban road network based on expected return estimation, which uses C-V2X wireless communication technology to obtain real-time information of all vehicles and traffic state in the road network from vehicle-mounted terminals, and adaptively and dynamically controls the phase transformation of the traffic light. According to the present application, the expected returns of keeping the current phase and executing phase switch are calculated by estimating the timely driving distance and the future driving distance of the passable vehicles in the next green light duration in combination with the proposed road priority traffic index. By comparing the expected returns of keeping the current phase or switching to other phases, the best phase is selected, so as to make as many passable vehicles travel farther as possible in the next green light duration. Therefore, the efficiency of traffic will be improved.

  • Patent number: 11892988
    Abstract: A method includes selecting, from content packs in a centralized content management system, a content pack to update in a data intake and query system. The content pack includes utility objects. For each utility object of at least a subset of the utility objects determining whether the utility object already exists in the data intake and query system, and loading the utility object to the data intake and query system when the utility object does not exist to obtain an updated utility object. The method further includes monitoring, by the data intake and query system, an endpoint of an endpoint type using the updated utility object.

  • Patent number: 11843528
    Abstract: One or more lower-tier system monitoring components are installed and operated prior to installing a higher-tier system monitoring component. A lower-tier system may be an individual server, network device, or local area network. A higher-tier system may include an enterprise or organization wide network or service that includes at least a part of the lower-tier system. Once the higher-tier system monitoring component is installed, the higher-tier and lower-tier system monitoring components use an interface to operate with one another to form a single larger instance of an organization wide monitoring system. The combination of the higher-tier system monitoring component and the one or more lower-tier system operating components performs monitoring aspects of the overall information technology environment based at least in part on machine data produced and made searchable to provide monitoring results.

  • Patent number: 11736378
    Abstract: Information technology environment monitoring systems, for example, perform analytics over machine data received from networked entities. Outputs of such a system may be useful to help a user identify a problem and resolve an incident. Inventive aspects enable user interactions to trigger automatic connection with network servers to establish communication channels for conveying analytics and other information related to the problem between and among network nodes participating in the resolution of the problem or incident.

  • Patent number: 11656893
    Abstract: The invention discloses a container Dockerfile and container mirror image quick generation methods and systems. The container Dockerfile quick generation method includes the steps of for a to-be-packaged target application, running and performing tracking execution on the target application, and recording operation system dependencies of the target application in the running process; organizing and constructing a file list required for packaging the target application to a container mirror image; and according to the file list required for packaging the target application to the container mirror image, generating a Dockerfile and container mirror image file creation directory used for packaging the target application to the container mirror image. Any target application can be automatically packaged by the invention to a container; the construction of an executable minimal environmental closure of the target application is finished; the packaged container is smaller than a manually made container.

  • Publication number: 20210330428
    Abstract: Systems and method for fabrication of dental appliances are provided. An example method includes receiving data identifying approximate locations of individual teeth in a three-dimensional digital dental model representing an impressioned position of a patient's dentition. The example method may also include generating component models corresponding to individual teeth for each of the identified approximate locations. The component models may be disposed at initial positions based on the impressioned position of the patient's dentition. The example method also includes determining target positions for the component models and generating a tooth-positioning appliance design based on the determined target positions for the component models. The method may also include causing a tooth-positioning appliance to be fabricated based on the tooth-positioning appliance design.
