  • Publication number: 20180210454
    Abstract: This description provides an autonomous or semi-autonomous excavation vehicle that is capable of navigating through a dig site and carrying out an excavation routine using a system of sensors physically mounted to the excavation vehicle. The sensors collects any one or more of spatial, imaging, measurement, and location data representing the status of the excavation vehicle and its surrounding environment. Based on the collected data, the excavation vehicle executes instructions to carry out an excavation routine. The excavation vehicle is also able to carry out numerous other tasks, such as checking the volume of excavated earth in an excavation tool, and helping prepare a digital terrain model of the site as part of a process for creating the excavation routine.

  • Patent number: 9100205
    Abstract: Machine-implemented methods for validating a web site analytics configuration are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, with a low latency web site traffic analytics and monitoring service, a registration for a web site, and sending an initial transmission to the registered web site, the transmission configured to generate a response transmission of web site traffic data to the analytics service. The method also includes outputting a notification indicating that the web site has been successfully registered with the analytics service when the traffic data is received by the analytics service, and outputting a notification indicating that the web site has not been successfully registered with the analytics service when the traffic data is not received by the analytics service. Systems, graphical user interfaces, and machine-readable media are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8869036
    Abstract: Machine-implemented methods for troubleshooting a web site analytics configuration are provided. In one aspect, a method includes acquiring low latency web site traffic data for a web page for a web site, and comparing the low latency web site traffic data with historical web site traffic data for the web page. The method also includes determining a difference between the low latency web site traffic data and the historical web site traffic data based on the comparison, and sending information on the difference between the low latency web site traffic data and the historical web site traffic data. Systems, graphical user interfaces, and machine-readable media are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8775941
    Abstract: Machine-implemented methods for providing a graphical user interface for displaying web site traffic information are provided. In one aspect, a method includes acquiring low latency web site traffic data for a web site and historical web site traffic data for the web site, and calculating a historical average web site traffic value for the web site based on the historical web site traffic data. The method also includes comparing the low latency web site traffic data with the calculated historical average web site traffic value, and providing information on a variation in the low latency web site traffic data based on the comparison of the low latency web site traffic data with the calculated average web site traffic value. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
