Abstract: A computing device displays, in a graphical user interface corresponding to a data visualization application, a dashboard having one or more data visualizations related to a data source. The device receives a user interaction with a first data visualization of the dashboard. The device compares the user interaction to a set of stored trigger actions and determines, based on the comparing, that the user interaction corresponds to a predefined trigger to initiate a workflow action to be executed by an external service, distinct from the data visualization application. In accordance with the determination, the device identifies parameters of a predefined action template corresponding to the workflow action. The device extracts a subset of data from the data source, corresponding to the parameters. The device maps the subset of data to the parameters of the action template and initiates execution of the external service.

Abstract: Documents and other process area events in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system are extracted according to a knowledge table. The extracted events are stitched together in a timeline order, placed in a transport container (or otherwise transmitted), and input to, for example, a process mining or process intelligence tool. The tool utilizes any of AI, Machine learning, or other techniques to evaluate processes and/or documents represented by the extracted events, and triggering alerts or messages based on the evaluation. The tool may be a task mining tool and/or provide information or suggestions for improving the document or process represented by the document(s) and may prepare and display (or provide for display) a visual model of the evaluated process or document and may highlight anomalies therein.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a flex hinge actuator. The actuator can include a base and a moving carriage configured to move in a direction (e.g., Z direction). A flex hinge assembly can include structures disposed on multiple sides (e.g., 2-sides, 4-sides). The flex hinge assembly structures can limit movement of the moving carriage in other directions than the Z direction to limit adverse motions of the moving carriage. The actuators as described herein can include a simple structure to constrain pitch and yaw tilt during Z motion of a payload. The actuator can push on sides of structure to move a carriage up and down (or in the Z-direction).

Abstract: Processing burden of a computing system, in identifying driving risk for a driver of a motor vehicle, is reduced by using image data captured without having been triggered by adverse driving events. Risk assessment is preferably based upon analysis of the image data with respect to at least one of ambient traffic density, off-road hazard, on-road hazard, complexity of a roadway upon which the vehicle is being driven, behavior of a vehicle within sight range of a driver of the vehicle, and existence of pedestrians within sight range of the driver. The computing system preferably uses machine learning/artificial intelligence software to derive the risk assessment. The adverse driving events preferably not used to trigger capturing of the image data include of speeding, driver distraction, hard braking, swerving, collision, and near collision. The risk assessment can advantageously trigger delivery of a message to the driver.
