Patent number: 11604841Abstract: A system, method and program product for a mechanistic model search engine. A system is disclosed having: a search interface for receiving input including text and functions relating to mechanistic models; a source interface for crawling online sources for mechanistic model information, wherein the information sources include text, tables, graphs, and functions; a context analysis system that determines parameter-based details from text information; a parameter processing system that derives parameter-based details from functions; and a search algorithm that compares parameter-based details determined from the input against parameter-based details determined from the information sources to identify mechanistic model search results.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Benjamin W. Goudey, Chathurika K H Hettiarachchige, Roslyn I. Hickson, Annalisa J. Swan

Patent number: 11416651Abstract: Systems, methods and program products for administering and modifying a simulation that incorporates the use of biometric data collection and computer-based predictive modeling techniques to reliably identify changes in the stress level of simulation participants while predictively adapting the simulation environment to manage each participants' stress levels within a pre-set or desired range. Each participant may have their biometric data collected and continuously monitored by wearing a computing device comprising biometric sensors, camera systems and audio recording devices. As the participants biometric data changes, the system monitors the participant for changes in stress level and maintains a desired stress level in the participant by modifying the adjustable properties of one or more virtual objects or computer-accessible real physical objects of the simulation environment to increase or decrease the stress level of the simulation on participants.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Melanie E. Roberts, Roslyn I. Hickson, Olivia J. Smith, Manoj Gambhir
