  • Publication number: 20250023846
    Abstract: A system for managing firewall rules between different services. In certain instances, the method includes receiving a discovery graph comprising a plurality of services and at least one application programming interface (API) dependency, wherein the plurality of services comprises a first service and a second service. In some instances, the method further includes determining whether the second service is permitted to receive an initial communication from the first service based upon the at least one API dependency included in the discovery graph. And, in response to determining the second service is permitted to receive the initial communication from the first service, the method can include establishing a first rule for a firewall between the first service and the second service, the first rule allowing the second service to receive the initial communication from the first service.

  • Patent number: 12147295
    Abstract: A system with an interactive user interface for users to view and interact with sanitized log data received from a plurality of hosts, such as those associated with various services of an organization. The system may receive from hosts log files and/or metadata that have been filtered by agents executing on the respective hosts to remove or anonymize any sensitive or confidential information prior to transmission to the system. In some embodiments the system does further filtering of the sanitized data. Received sanitized data is parsed, indexed, and/or otherwise processed for optimal searching, and stored in a log pipeline. The system causes display of an electronic visualization interface.

  • Patent number: 11294470
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for enabling human-to-computer three-dimensional hand gesture-based natural interactions. From depth images provided by a range finding imaging system, the method enables efficient and robust detection of a particular sequence of natural gestures including a beginning (start), and an ending (stop) of a predetermined type of natural gestures for delimiting the period during which a control (interaction) gesture is operating in an environment wherein a user is freely moving his hands. The invention is more particularly, although not exclusively, concerned by detection without any false positives nor delay, of intentionally performed natural gesture subsequent to a starting finger tip or hand tip based natural gesture so as to provide efficient and robust navigation, zooming and scrolling interactions within a graphical user interface up until the ending finger tip or hand tip based natural gesture is detected.

  • Patent number: 10726032
    Abstract: A case management system is configured to generate search templates based on selection of a search type and one or more data sources. As configured, the case management system enables execution of searches using the generated search template on synchronous and asynchronous data sources and provides periodic polling of the asynchronous data sources to generate consolidated search results.

  • Patent number: 9514414
    Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods are disclosed for identifying and categorizing electronic documents through machine learning. In accordance with some embodiments, a seed set of categorized electronic documents may be used to train a document categorizer based on a machine learning algorithm. The trained document categorizer may categorize electronic documents in a large corpus of electronic documents. Performance metrics associated with performance of the trained document categorizer may be tracked, and additional seed sets of categorized electronic documents may be used to improve the performance of document categorizer by retraining the document categorizer on subsequent seed sets. Additional seed sets may and categorizations may be iterated through until a desired document categorization performance is reached.

  • Patent number: 9189855
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for detecting, identifying and tracking hand, hand parts, and fingers on the hand (500) of a user within depth images of a three-dimensional scene. Arms of a user are detected, identified, segmented from the background of the depth images, and tracked with respect to time. Hands of the user are identified and tracked and the location and orientation of its parts, including the palm and the fingers (510, 520, 530, 540, 550) are determined and tracked in order to produce output information enabling gesture interactions.

  • Patent number: 9081999
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for recognizing a human head in a source image. The method comprises detecting a contour of at least part of a human body in the source image, calculating a depth of the human body in the source image. From the source image, a major radius size and a minor radius size of an ellipse corresponding to a human head at the depth is calculated, and, for at least several of a set of pixels of the detected contour, generating in an accumulator array at least one segment of an ellipse centered on the position of the contour pixel and having the major and minor radius sizes. Positions of local intensity maxima in the accumulator array are selected as corresponding to positions of the human head candidates in the source image.

  • Patent number: 9081419
    Abstract: Described herein is a user interface that provides contextual feedback, controls and interface elements on a display screen of an interactive three-dimensional imaging system. A user interacts with the interface to provide control signals in accordance with those recognized by the system to a makes use of at least one POI in a three-dimensional scene that is imaged by the imaging system to provide control signals for the user interface. Control signals are provided by means of gestures which are analyzed in real-time by gesture recognition processes that analyze statistical and geometrical properties of POI motion and trajectories.

  • Patent number: 7853871
    Abstract: A robust, lightweight, bottom-up segmentation method for Internet content. According to the present invention, individual segments are created based upon weights assigned according to document structure and markup elements and semantics. Smaller segments are then merged into larger segments by determining which portions of the content page are related to each other. The remaining segments are then intelligently divided based upon device constraints.
