  • Patent number: 10372713
    Abstract: A system and method for extrapolating a set of specific representational identifiers that are represented or covered by a generic representational identifier found in a target document. Queries are constructed and performed on a corpus of source documents in which members of the extrapolated set of specific representational identifiers are compared to a database of representational data. By matching representational data in this way, any overlap between the generic representational data and specific instances of the generic representational identifier within the source documents is determined. In a more specific implementation, the system and method reduces the scope of the generic representational identifier such that the reduced scope generic representational identifier encompasses only novel specific representational identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20190105575
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to water effect play structures for use in playgrounds, splash pads, and water parks. The play structures comprise a plurality of water tanks maintained at an elevation above a play surface. Each of the plurality of water tanks fills with water and then releases the water contained therein, splashing children in the vicinity. Each of the plurality of water tanks may be configured to release the water contained therein at different times. Further, in some embodiments, the water tanks may be enclosed, such as by being connected to a water transport system that fills the tanks internally and by having a movable cover over the opening(s) through which the water is released.

  • Patent number: 10247823
    Abstract: Sonar rendering systems and methods are described herein. One example is an apparatus that includes a transducer element, position sensing circuitry, processing circuitry, and a display device. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive raw sonar data and positioning data, convert the raw sonar data into range cell data based at least on amplitudes of the return echoes, make a location-based association between the raw sonar data and the positioning data, plot the range cell data based on respective positions derived from the positioning data and rotate the range cell data based on a direction of movement of the watercraft to generate adjusted range cell data. The processing circuitry may be further configured to convert the adjusted range cell data into sonar image data, and cause the display device to render the sonar image data with a presentation of a geographic map.

  • Patent number: 10073897
    Abstract: A system for transforming time series data into data that is accessible by a data warehouse identifies a data table comprising the time series data. The system creates a virtual view of the data table where the time series data is represented as at least one standard relational table in the virtual view, where the virtual view is presented as a virtual table. The system partitions the virtual table into a plurality of virtual partitions according to a time interval. The virtual table is partitioned across a data time range, where the data time range comprises at least one time interval, and where each of the plurality of virtual partitions has a respective partition time range that spans the time interval. The virtual partitions are created to optimize loading of the data into the data warehouse by incrementally refreshing the data according to the respective partition time range.
