  • Publication number: 20230334231
    Abstract: Origin text content to be analyzed using natural language processing is received. The received origin text content is preprocessed using one or more processors including by vectorizing at least a portion of the received origin text content and identifying a closest matching centroid to automatically generate a reduced version of the origin text content to assist in satisfying a constraint of a natural language processing model. The reduced version of the origin text content is used as an input to the natural language processing model. A result of the natural language processing model is provided for use in managing a computerized workflow.

  • Publication number: 20230334248
    Abstract: Origin text content to be analyzed using natural language processing is received. A two-dimensional item sequence representation for at least a portion of the received origin text content is generated. Using one or more processors, one or more evaluation metrics are determined based on an analysis of the two-dimensional item sequence representation. A reduced version of the origin text content is automatically generated based on the one or more evaluation metrics to assist in satisfying a constraint of a natural language processing model. The reduced version of the origin text content is used as an input to the natural language processing model.

  • Patent number: 11095540
    Abstract: A computing device is provided that is configured to obtain, from a managed network, a plurality of response times of a network-based service provided by the managed network; to train, based on the plurality of response times, a probability distribution to model the managed network; to receive an additional response time from the managed network; to use the probability distribution to determine, for the additional response time, a percentile based on the additional response time; based on the percentile, to determine that the additional response time is anomalously high with respect to the plurality of response times of the network-based service; and to transmit, to a client device associated with the managed network, an indication that the additional response time is anomalously high. The probability distribution includes a central portion based on a plurality of bins and a tail portion based on a parametric distribution.

  • Patent number: 5416689
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switching power supply having a protection device to shut down the supply of the output voltage in the presence of a fault condition such as an overload. The invention identifies potential fault conditions when the voltage control feedback loop is out of regulation and screens out false fault conditions during periods when the duty cycle of the control signal is below a specified duty cycle limit. The invention further shuts down the supply of the output voltage when the bulk line voltage provided to the power supply is below a specified limit.

  • Patent number: 5307256
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switching power supply having a protection device to shutdown the supply of the output voltage and a circuit for providing a trickle voltage while the power supply is shutdown. The power supply is shutdown by lowering the primary bias voltage, the voltage which powers the internal components of the power supply, to a value which disables the production of the output voltage. However, the primary bias voltage is not reduced to ground. Various circuits and devices, such as a restart circuit, may then be powered by the trickle voltage while the power supply is shutdown.
