  • Publication number: 20240198743
    Abstract: A trailer hitch system for equalizing trailer loads and reducing trailer sway. The trailer hitch system may include spring bars that may be attached to a hitch head using a trunnion style connection. The spring bars may be attached to the trailer using rigid brackets that reduce swinging of the spring bars. The rigid brackets having a plurality of contact points may include an upward extending portion for attaching to the trailer tongue, and a lateral extending portion for receiving the spring bars thereupon. The rigid brackets may include a spacing member and an attachment member.

  • Publication number: 20240176603
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to translating application calls for on-device machine learning execution. A translation layer supports on-device machine learning execution by translating JavaScript software application call data to achieve interoperability with on-device machine learning models. For example, JavaScript software applications interact with data, such as images, audio, video, and/or text, in a format or data type that is compatible with the application. On the other hand, machine learning models interact with data in a form conducive to mathematical operations, such as a data structure representation (e.g., tensor representation). Implementations translate data types and/or data files to provide compatible data to each of a native JavaScript software application and on-device machine learning models.

  • Patent number: 10873508
    Abstract: A system is provided for clustering events. A first engine is configured to receive message data from a managed infrastructure that includes managed infrastructure physical hardware that supports the flow and processing of information, The at least one engine is configured to determine common characteristics of events and produce clusters of events relating to the failure of errors in the managed infrastructure. Membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or an actionable problem in a physical hardware of the managed infrastructure directed to supporting the flow and processing of information. The first engine is configured to create one or more situations that is a collection of one or more events or alerts representative of the actionable problem in the managed infrastructure. A second engine is configured to determine one or more common steps from events and produces clusters relating to events.

  • Patent number: 10489226
    Abstract: A user interface system is provided. A first engine receives message data from managed infrastructure that includes managed infrastructure physical hardware which supports the flow and processing of information. A second engine determines common characteristics of events and produces clusters of events relating to the failure of errors in the managed infrastructure, where membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware managed infrastructure directed to supporting the flow and processing of information. One or more situations are created that are a collection of one or more events or alerts representative of the actionable problem in the managed infrastructure. An external connection adapter is coupled to the first and second engines and configured to provide access to one or more data fields within a file.

  • Patent number: 10425291
    Abstract: An event clustering system is provided that in response to a time series infers a network topology. Matrices W and H are estimated as a local minimum. For each pair of nodes: (i) a computation of the convolution is made; a number of peaks within the convolution is a function of a delay; and a comparison is made to an average behavior of a pair of nodes that emits the same number of alerts. Alerts are only spread to adjacent nodes, alerts are caused by dysfunctional nodes that do not emit alerts, and a true topology coincides with the end of the recording.

  • Patent number: 10050910
    Abstract: An event clustering system has an extraction engine in communication with a managed infrastructure. A signalizer engine includes one or more of an NMF engine, a k-means clustering engine and a topology proximity engine. The signalizer engine determines one or more common characteristics or features from events, the signalizer engine using the common features of events to produce clusters of events relating to the failure or errors in the managed infrastructure. Membership in a cluster indicates a common factor of the events that is a failure or an actionable problem in the physical hardware managed infrastructure directed to supporting the flow and processing of information. The system is configured to group two or more situations, where a situation is a collection of one or more events or alerts representative of a problem in the managed infrastructure.
