  • Patent number: 10067812
    Abstract: A method for a diagnostic headline system using simple linguistic terms is described. The method comprises receiving historical and current performance data for a component of a system. An anomaly is determined in the current performance data by comparing the current performance data and the historical performance data for the component. The anomaly is determined whether or not it indicates an error in the system. The cause of the anomaly is determined. Steps for addressing the cause of the anomaly are recommended. A display is formatted of the current performance data, the error, and the recommended steps for addressing the cause of the anomaly.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9979607
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing system anomalies and presenting recommended solutions is described. The method comprises receiving current component performance data and historical component performance data regarding performance of a component of a multi-tier system. A baseline tier performance for each tier and a baseline component performance is determined. A cause of an anomaly in the performance of the component is determined by discovering deviations in current component performance data and current tier performance in compared to their baseline values. Based on these deviations, a recommended procedure for addressing the cause of the anomaly is determined. A display is formatted within a user interface of the recommended procedure for addressing the cause of the anomaly in the performance of the component.

  • Publication number: 20080250356
    Abstract: Techniques for representing data network performance characteristics from many different sources shows in three-dimensions client stations representations, server station(s) representations, and various forms of data transmission representations a video animation subsystem. Operational characteristics representations associate with the client stations, server system, data transmission representations forming a dynamic, three-dimensional representation of the network for displaying operational characteristics of the client stations, server system(s), and data transmission. The dynamic, three-dimensional representation of the network interfaces with a network performance analysis system for further analyzing perceived operational characteristics with reference to a plurality of network performance metrics from the network performance analysis system.

  • Patent number: 5841876
    Abstract: A vibration control system includes a processor-based circuit which monitors and controls an analog vibration control circuit. The system include, a sensor to detect the undesirable vibrations and a synchronous pulse generator for determining the fundamental frequency of the vibrations emitted by the source. An actuator produces anti-noise to counter unwanted vibrations. The processor circuit tests the system, monitors system functions, and adjusts various parameters to provide optimal performance.
