  • Patent number: 11934847
    Abstract: An interactive user interface for receiving and displaying data is described. The interactive user interface may display data sets from a plurality of external applications and/or data sources. Received data sets may be compiled to form an interactive graphical unit, also called a “card,” that may be displayed in a format based upon that of the native external application of the received data sets. Cards may be grouped with other cards. A card may include a link which allows users to access the native external application of the card to make any desired modifications or changes.

  • Publication number: 20230153095
    Abstract: A computing system and methods are provided for executing an application framework to provision a pipeline or workspace which may include applications that collaborate, such as, in performing a physical actuation of a physical component. The provisioning may include determining or receiving an indication of the applications to be installed and contextual information of each of the applications. The contextual information includes data objects, data types, or data formats supported by each of the applications and relationships among the applications. The computing system may provision one or more of the applications based on the indication of the applications to be installed and the contextual information. The computing system may receive an indication of an update at a first application of the applications and propagate the update to a subset of the applications based on the contextual information.

  • Patent number: 11580137
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for indexing and/or querying a database are described herein. Multiple, large disparate data sources may be processed to cleanse and/or combine item data and/or item metadata. Further, attributes may be extracted from the item data sources. The interactive user interfaces allow a user to select one or more attributes and/or other parameters to present visualizations based on the processed data.

  • Patent number: 11269914
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating reports reflecting a visualization of, e.g., a dataset on which data analysis has been performed. The data analysis performed on the dataset may be an aggregation of data analysis functionality provided by applications or tools. Dataset visualization is realized in a workspace implemented by a separate application or tool. Potential conflicts regarding updating one or more elements of the dataset are reconciled by implementing a dual operational transform system and method. A global state of the dataset may be determined by a first operational transform system and method, while a local state of the dataset may be determined by a second operational transform system and method. The local state of the dataset may be updated through operational transforms exchanged between the first and second operational transform systems that align the local state of the dataset with the global state of the dataset.

  • Patent number: 10929436
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for news events detection and visualization. In accordance with one implementation, a method is provided for news events detection and visualization. The method includes, for example, obtaining one or more documents, the one or more documents being grouped into one or more clusters having a score, and the one or more clusters being grouped into one or more megaclusters, presenting information associated with the one or more documents on one or more timelines, wherein the one or more documents are grouped into different megaclusters being presented in a visually distinct way, and filtering the presented information based on the scores associated with the one or more clusters.

  • Patent number: 10245179
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering energy during a surgical procedure such as phacoemulsification is provided. The method and apparatus include applying energy during at least one pulsed energy on period, comprising applying energy during a series of short burst periods, the short burst periods interspersed by short rest periods. The method and apparatus further comprise delivering minimal energy during a long off period, the long off period comprising a relatively long period when minimal energy is applied, wherein one long off period follows each pulsed energy on period. The short burst periods and the short rest periods are relatively brief in duration as compared with the long off period.

  • Publication number: 20180039399
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein provide highly dynamic and interactive data analysis user interfaces which enable data analysts to quickly and efficiently explore large volume data sources. The data analysis system enables the user to investigate large volumes of data over many different paths of analysis while maintaining detailed and retraceable steps taken by the user over the course of an investigation, as captured via the user's queries and user interaction with the user interfaces provided by the data analysis system. Data analysis paths may involve exploration of high volume data sets, such as Internet proxy data, which may include trillions of rows of data. The data analyst may pursue a data analysis path that involves, among other things, applying filters, joining to other tables in a database, viewing interactive data visualizations, and so on. The data analysis system enables a user to refresh or insert a node in a workflow.
