Patent number: 11442931Abstract: Techniques are described for an interactive query service that enables users to query data stored at a federated collection of data sources. An interactive query service provides interfaces that enable users to configure the interactive query service to query any number of heterogeneous data sources pertinent to a user. In general, the configuration of a data source can include identification of: a data source type, access configurations related to accessing the data source, and in some cases metadata describing a structure of the data stored by the data source (for example, a data catalog describing schemas, tables, columns, partitions, datatypes, or other metadata associated with the stored data). Once configured, an interactive query service can receive and execute queries that involve data stored at any combination of a user's data sources, where the queries may be expressed using a standard query language such as the Structured Query Language (SQL).Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony A. Virtuoso, Rahul Pathak, Mehul Shah, Akila Tennakoon, Jian Fang, Seth Thomas Denney, Jason Denton

Patent number: 11013426Abstract: Many factors contribute to dogs' superior olfactory capabilities as compared to humans. Studies explored this aspect at the cellular and behavior levels; however, the cognitive-level neural substrates linking them have never been explored. Since sedated dogs cannot sniff, the present application illustrates the cognitive-level linking neural substrate using fMRI of conscious dogs. The head motion of the canine is accounted for by behavioral training and optical motion tracking. The olfactory bulb is commonly activated in both awake and anesthetized dogs, while parietal and frontal structures are activated only in the former and subcortical structures only in the latter. Comparison of low and high odor intensity shows differences in both the strength and spatial extent of activation in higher cognitive structures. Unlike humans, neural structures even at the top of the cognitive hierarchy are modulated by odor concentration in dogs.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Auburn UniversityInventors: Gopikrishna Deshpande, Paul Waggoner, Vitaly Vodyanoy, Hao Jia, Oleg Pustovyy, Thomas Denney, Ed Morrison, Ronald Beyers

Patent number: 10739755Abstract: In one implementation, a method can include receiving historical data characterizing a detected operational characteristic of a first industrial machine of a plurality of industrial machines in a cluster. The method can also include determining an operational envelop associated with the first industrial machine from the historical data. The operational envelop can be indicative of a range of values of an operating parameter of the first industrial machine. The method can further include determining an operating parameter recommendation, the determining can include using the operational envelop and a user input as operational constraints associated with one or more of the plurality of industrial machines. The method can also include rendering, in a graphical user interface display space, a visual representation of the operating parameter recommendation.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLCInventors: Dehao Zhu, Stanley Thomas Denney

Patent number: 10606934Abstract: A computing device comprises an electronic paper display, a processor and a memory. The memory is arranged to store platform software and application software for at least one application that is not adapted to work with an electronic paper display. The platform software comprises a UI conversion module comprising device-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: access a UI element tree for the application; generate a modified UI element tree for the application by removing and/or re-styling at least one UI element; and render data from the application using the modified UI element tree for display on the electronic paper display.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John Franciscus Marie Helmes, James Scott, Stuart Alastair Taylor, Stephen Edward Hodges, Nicholas Yen-Cherng Chen, Tobias Alexander Grosse-Puppendahl, Josh Fromm, Pascal Knierim, Gavin Wood, Albrecht Schmidt, Thomas Denney
