Publication number: 20200014583Abstract: A computing system and method for remote monitoring and forecasting of performance of a managed network is disclosed. The computing system may be disposed within a remote network management platform and be configured for monitoring respective performance of each of a plurality of network entities of the managed network. For each network entity, an alert may be issued in response to determining that the monitored respective performance is below a respective threshold performance level. Based on analysis of a group of alerts, a likelihood may be determined that a different alert will be issued for the monitored performance of a particular network entity of the plurality for which no respective alert has yet been issued. In response to the likelihood exceeding a threshold, an alert prediction for the performance of the particular network entity may be issued together with a score corresponding to the likelihood.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Kanwaldeep Dang, Purushottam Amradkar, Stephen Scott Tucker, Qingbin Li

Publication number: 20190346969Abstract: Acoustic touch and/or force sensing system architectures and methods for acoustic touch and/or force sensing can be used to detect a position of an object touching a surface and an amount of force applied to the surface by the object. The position and/or an applied force can be determined using time-of-flight (TOF) techniques, for example. Acoustic touch sensing can utilize transducers (e.g., piezoelectric) to simultaneously transmit ultrasonic waves along a surface and through a thickness of a deformable material. The location of the object and the applied force can be determined based on the amount of time elapsing between the transmission of the waves and receipt of the reflected waves. In some examples, an acoustic touch sensing system can be insensitive to water contact on the device surface, and thus acoustic touch sensing can be used for touch sensing in devices that may become wet or fully submerged in water.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: November 14, 2019Inventors: Marcus YIP, Aaron Scott TUCKER, Ehsan KHAJEH, Brian Michael KING

Patent number: 10469309Abstract: An apparatus for grouping alerts generated by automated monitoring of at least an operating condition of a machine, represented as a configuration item in a configuration management database, in a computer network. A first event pattern is identified based on configuration items associated with an alert avalanche identified from received historical alert data stored in memory. A second event pattern is identified based on co-occurrences of configuration item pairs in the historical alert data and on at least one conditional probability parameter. At least one alert group is determined by comparing at least one configuration item associated with a current alert to the plurality of configuration items of the first event pattern and of the second event pattern stored in memory. A graphical display region for displaying the alert group is generated.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: ServiceNow, Inc.Inventors: Sachin Gupta, Scott Tucker, James Crotinger, Kanwaldeep Kaur Dang, Eugen Ardeleanu, Purushottam Amradkar, Chinna Babu Polinati

Publication number: 20190243047Abstract: A polarizer disposed between a transducer and a surface in which acoustic waves propagate can be used to filter out certain types of acoustic energy. For example, the polarizer can be used with a shear-polarized transducer to pass shear waves and filter out compressional waves that may interact with water, thereby improving water rejection. In some examples, the polarizer can include one or more layers of piezoelectric material with a poling direction different than (e.g., orthogonal to) the poling direction of the transducer. Energy of compressional waves may be extracted by one or more external electric circuits. In some examples, the polarizer can be a magneto-elastic polarizer. In some examples, the polarizer can be a mechanical polarizer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2019Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Ehsan KHAJEH, Aaron Scott TUCKER, Brian Michael KING, Marcus YIP

Publication number: 20190050745Abstract: Systems and methods for mapping configuration items to business functions within a corporate infrastructure are disclosed. Discovery processes to automatically create and update service maps may introduce an artificial dependency between configuration items that is not necessary to the business function represented in the service map. These unnecessary dependencies may be considered “noise” and unnecessarily complicate the service map. Using machine learning techniques and procedures to identify short lived connections embodiments in accordance with this disclosure, dependency connections that may be considered noise may be detected and flagged. Once detected, these connections may be automatically removed from the service map to improve its accuracy and usefulness. Additionally, a user interface is provided that explains the “reason codes” for identification of noise connections.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2017Publication date: February 14, 2019Inventors: Yuval Rimar, Stephen Scott Tucker, Evan Qu, Vishal Rao, Haviv Rosh, Hardik Modi, Chris Nguyen, Amit Chandulal Dhuleshia, Oron Subayi

Publication number: 20180032211Abstract: Acoustic touch detection (touch sensing) system architectures and methods can be used to detect an object touching a surface. Position of an object touching a surface can be determined using time-of-flight (TOF) bounding box techniques, or acoustic image reconstruction techniques, for example. Acoustic touch sensing can utilize transducers, such as piezoelectric transducers, to transmit ultrasonic waves along a surface and/or through the thickness of an electronic device. Location of the object can be determined, for example, based on the amount of time elapsing between the transmission of the wave and the detection of the reflected wave. An object in contact with the surface can interact with the transmitted wave causing attenuation, redirection and/or reflection of at least a portion of the transmitted wave. Portions of the transmitted wave energy after interaction with the object can be measured to determine the touch location of the object on the surface of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventors: Brian Michael KING, Mohammad YEKE YAZDANDOOST, Ehsan KHAJEH, Aaron Scott TUCKER, Giovanni GOZZINI, Marcus YIP, Marduke YOUSEFPOR, Digvijay JADHAV, Indranil SEN, Mohit NARANG, Yi JIANG, Vahid MAJIDZADEH BAFAR, Mansour KERAMAT, Hao XU
