  • Patent number: 11899806
    Abstract: Features are disclosed for managing multiple heterogeneously owned data stores (e.g., data sets, data lakes) and provisioning a framework for data consumers and data publishers. A computing device can obtain a plurality of data catalogs associated with the data stores. For example, the computing device may update a hybrid data catalog with information from the plurality of data catalogs. The computing device can further provide a portion of the plurality of data catalogs to a data consumer. The computing device may provide the portion of the plurality of data catalogs based on permissions provided by the data publisher. In response, the computing device can receive a request to access a data store associated with the plurality of data catalogs. The computing device can transmit the request to a corresponding data publisher and, based on a response by the data publisher, may modify the distinct access controls for the data store.

  • Patent number: 11314482
    Abstract: Methods and systems for division operation are described. A processor can initialize an estimated quotient between the dividend and the divisor separately from a floating-point unit (FPU) pipeline. The processor can implement the FPU pipeline to execute a refinement process that can include at least a first iteration of operations and a second iteration of operations. The refinement process can include, in the first iteration of operations, generating a first unnormalized floating-point value using the initialized estimated quotient. The refinement process can include, in the second iteration of operations, generating a second unnormalized floating-point value using the first unnormalized floating-point value. The processor can determine a final quotient based on the second unnormalized floating-point value.

  • Patent number: 10782356
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensors configured to detect an electrical voltage and an electrical leakage current associated with an operation of an industrial machine, and a controller including a processor and a selection device. The selection device is configured to receive from the plurality of sensors a first input corresponding to the electrical voltage, and a second input corresponding to the electrical leakage current. The first input is paired with the second input to generate a paired input. The selection device is configured to transmit an output to the processor based at least in part on the paired input. The output includes an indication of the electrical leakage current or a dissipation factor associated with the industrial machine.

  • Patent number: 10756918
    Abstract: A system that enables a person to monitor and/or control a device via a network, such as the Internet, via an interactive hardware module that interfaces with the device and communicates with a module server located locally or remotely from the placement of the module. The hardware module allows for the transmission and receipt of data between the device interfaced to the hardware module and the module server, thereby enabling the user manually or automatically to control or monitor the device via an access medium, such as an API. Furthermore, the hardware module and the module server may enable the activation of an inactive device from a remote location.

  • Publication number: 20190236697
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for allocating quantities of a plurality of orders stored in an order book side at a price level selected for execution is provided, wherein each order has a quantity and a entry time. A time sensitivity parameter is predefined, wherein the time sensitivity parameter is a non-negative real number representing a specific allocation scheme. The quantity to be allocated is received and is executable against the plurality of orders stored in the order book side at a price level selected for execution. A matched quantity is determined for each order of the plurality of orders stored in the order book side at the price level selected for execution.

  • Publication number: 20190164222
    Abstract: An order cross mechanism is provided where a cross request is received from a first market participant in a single transaction, the cross request specifying a client order and a predefined cross match type. Orders and/or quotes are received from second market participants within a predetermined or randomly determined period of time, and a cross match is performed in the order book immediately after expiration of the period of time. The client order is matched against an order of the first market participant and none, one or more of the orders or quotes received from the one or more second market participants, and the order of the first market participant is generated as an opposite order to the client order and having a higher priority than any orders or quotes received from the second market participants that are of the same price level than the order of the first market participant and that are entered during the period of time.

  • Patent number: 10290056
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for publishing best public limits and corresponding quantity and for matching an incoming outright order against price best match limits at corresponding quantities during the continuous trading phase is provided. An incoming outright order is entered in an incoming order book side. It is determined if the incoming outright order satisfies a matching condition by evaluating the sum of the incoming outright order limit and the best match limit of the outright order book side opposing to the incoming outright order book side wherein the best match limit of the outright order book side opposing to the incoming outright order book side also considers outright order book combinations resulting to the outright order book side opposing the incoming outright order book side.

  • Patent number: 10211849
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for employing data obtained from an electronic network, such as the Internet, as an emulation of sensor data. A virtual sensor bridge mechanism may be interfaced to a data source, such as the Internet, to receive Web data or remote sensor data. The virtual sensor bridge may convert the received data into a format usable by a logic controller, thereby emulating sensor data and enabling the logic controller to treat the networked data source as a sensor. Furthermore, the virtual sensor bridge may interface directly with one or more sensors and may serve as an adapter or data relay between a sensor and the logic controller.
