  • Patent number: 11880803
    Abstract: A system for data mapping and transformation receives load data from a freight broker. The system extracts a set of data elements from the load data. The system determines that set of data elements includes anomalous data indicating that the set of data elements comprise incomplete or incorrect information. The system transforms the anomalous data to correct information retrieved from trusted sources. The system associates each data element to a respective data element in a mapped dataset. The system determines the identity of entities indicated in the load data. The system communicates the load data to a factor entity based the determined identity of the factor entity. The system performs a similar operation on other received messages.

  • Patent number: 11843601
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for securely establishing credential data for a computing device are disclosed. According to one example, a method includes assigning, by a credential manager, credential set data to a computing device and mapping the credential set data to a device identifier key associated with the computing device in a credential data store accessible by the credential manager. The method further includes receiving, from a provisioning service client, a credential set request message including the device identifier key by the credential manager in response to an activation of the computing device at a customer location site and sending, by the credential manager to the provisioning service client, the credential set data for authenticating the computing device at the customer location site.

  • Patent number: 11829934
    Abstract: A system determines that a first data element in a first message is linked to a first data field in a first mapped dataset. The system receives a request to determine to which data field in a second mapped dataset a second data element in a second message should be mapped. The system extracts a first set of features from the first message. The system determines that the first data element is located on a first location within the first message. The system extracts a second set of features from the second message. The system determines that the second data element is location on a second location within the second message. The system determines a difference between the first location and the second location. If the difference is less than a threshold distance, the system associates the second data element to the first data element in the second mapped dataset.

  • Patent number: 11755088
    Abstract: A system and method for dynamically switching power supply in a dual battery system to minimize unbalanced wear levels in the primary and secondary batteries. If the operating temperature of the primary battery reaches a reliability temperature threshold but the operating temperature of the secondary battery is less than the reliability temperature threshold, the controller switches a primary battery indicator to designate the secondary battery as the primary battery. If the operating temperature of the primary battery reaches a pre-shutdown temperature but the operating temperature of the secondary battery is less than the pre-shutdown temperature, the controller switches a primary battery indicator to designate the secondary battery as the primary battery. If a difference between the wear levels of the batteries exceeds a wear level difference threshold, the controller switches a primary battery indicator to designate the secondary battery as the primary battery.

  • Patent number: 11755458
    Abstract: Automatic identification of execution behavior(s) of software. This automatic identification is based on analysis of historical execution records using machine learning to identify a particular pattern that corresponds to an execution behavior. In order to automatically identify an execution behavior present within particular software, an execution record of that particular software is accessed. The execution record includes an execution trace that reproducibly represents the execution of the software within a particular execution environment, such that the execution record is usable to rerun the execution of the software precisely as the software previously run. Based on finding the particular pattern within the execution record, the computing system automatically identifies that the execution behavior is present within the software.

  • Patent number: 11698911
    Abstract: A processor may receive a request with a column-oriented operation. The query request may be related to updates to a row-oriented database based on the query request previously performed on the row-oriented database. The processor may determine the amount of time for replicating the updates to a column-oriented database. If the amount of time for replicating the updates to the column-oriented database is greater than a threshold amount of time, then the processor may create a transient file with the updates. The transient file may be in a format that is recognized by the column-oriented database. The processor may query the column-oriented database based on the query request and the transient file.

  • Publication number: 20230177158
    Abstract: Subject matter related to data management is disclosed. Snapshots of a target object in a computing system may be stored, where the snapshot may correspond to multiple versions of the target object. An indication that information in one or more of the snapshots may be stored. A request to restore a snapshot of the target object may be received. In response to the request, a determination of whether the snapshot of the target object is prohibited from being restored may be made based on the indication that information in one or more of the snapshots is flagged for quarantine.
