  • Patent number: 11068485
    Abstract: Identifying data within a data store satisfying a request. A quantity of the identified data is greater than a threshold. The identified data is analyzed to produce an initial result set with a reduced data quantity including information summarizing the identified data. The analyzing includes visualizing the information summarizing the identified data as one or more graphical displays rendered within a user interface and selectively filtering the identified data based upon a selection of filter factors associated with the identified data to generate an initial result set having a smaller size in relation to the identified data set. Each of one or more succeeding result sets are generated from a corresponding prior result set until a succeeding result set includes a quantity of data satisfying the threshold. The generating of each succeeding result set includes filtering the corresponding prior result set and information summarizing the filtered result set.

  • Publication number: 20200117893
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining differences in documents to generate a visualization highlighting the differences between documents. Name-value pairs are extracted for objects in a first document. The objects include code to control rendering of content in the first document in a graphical user interface (GUI). Each extracted name-value pair indicates a value for a name of an attribute in the first document. Name value pairs are extracted for objects in a second document. A determination is made whether a difference in values of a specified name indicated in the name-value pairs extracted from the first and second documents exceeds a threshold provided for the specified name. A visualization is generated highlighting an object rendered according to different values provided for the specified name that are determined to exceed the threshold provided for the specified name.

  • Patent number: 10311059
    Abstract: A request for data is processed by identifying data within a data store satisfying the request, where an amount of the identified data exceeds a threshold, analyzing the identified data to produce an initial result set with a reduced amount of data including information summarizing the identified data, and generating one or more succeeding result sets each from a corresponding prior result set until a succeeding result set includes an amount of data satisfying the threshold. Each succeeding result set includes a reduced amount of data relative to the corresponding prior result set, and generating each succeeding result set includes filtering the corresponding prior result set and generating the succeeding result set including information summarizing the filtered result set.

  • Patent number: 6651901
    Abstract: A misting system valve assembly comprises a conduit connectable to a pressurized fluid supply. The conduit includes a through opening. A sleeve is telescopically received on the conduit. The sleeve is adapted to support a nozzle. The sleeve has a sleeve opening therethrough for selectively delivering pressurized fluid to the nozzle. The sleeve is moveable on the conduit between an open position where the conduit through opening is in communication with the sleeve opening and a closed position where the conduit through opening is not in communication with the sleeve opening.

  • Patent number: 4796878
    Abstract: Sheet handling and counting apparatus comprising cooperating stripper shoes and feed rollers forming a feed nip which strips multiple fed sheets causing sheets to be delivered from a feed nip one at a time toward an acceleration nip. The orientation of the stripper shoe relative to the feed roller and the input tray provides excellent stripping action while preventing damage to the sheets being handled. The acceleration nip is formed by cooperating acceleration idlers and O-rings supported by acceleration rollers for accelerating sheets entering the acceleration nip to form a gap between adjacent sheets which aids in the counting of sheets. The stripper shoe is mounted within a clip which also serves to protect the forward end surface of the stripper shoe as well as providing a low friction guide surface engaged by the leading edges of sheets approaching the feed nip.
