  • Patent number: 11740756
    Abstract: A display frame position/orientation adjustment is made to a computer display data set before it is displayed on a display screen (for example, a display screen of a user's smartphone). The offsets the display from the display frame defined by the edges of the display screen. The user tends to counter these offsets by moving from a relatively poor body posture and into a good body posture.

  • Patent number: 11288337
    Abstract: A method performed in a web page authoring system having a user input system and an editing screen display for displaying a representation of a tag associated with a display artifact represented on the editing screen display is disclosed. A user action input selecting a reference point on the editing screen display for a web page being authored is received. A reference area on the editing screen display enclosing the selected reference point is set. The display object closest to the reference point is selected as a reference display artifact from among display artifacts in the reference area. A tag associated with the reference display artifact is selected from among tags associated with the display artifacts. A first rectangle is drawn on the editing screen display artifact. A second, larger rectangle is drawn enclosing the first rectangle. A space between the first and second rectangles represents the selected tag.

  • Patent number: 10998725
    Abstract: Accurately predicting a power generation of a natural energy power generation device that is affected by a peak cut loss. A processor of a computer is caused to execute: an insolation analysis step and a power generation prediction step. The power generation prediction step determines a first insolation that is the insolation required to obtain a first power generation that is zero and the minimum output power, and a second power generation that is the capacity. The power generation prediction step also determines a second insolation that is the insolation in a case where the capacity is satisfied. In a case where the insolation is lower than the first insolation, the power generation prediction step determines the first power generation as the power generation, and in a case where the insolation exceeds the second insolation, the power generation prediction step determines the second power generation as the power generation.

  • Patent number: 10963262
    Abstract: Improved data pipelines are provided. A request to activate a first pipeline based on a first pipeline definition is received. The first pipeline is generated based on the first pipeline definition, wherein generating the first pipeline includes generating a reusable processing module at a first position within the first pipeline, and generating a downstream processing module at a second position within the first pipeline, where the downstream processing module selectively sends output data to the reusable processing module, such that data processed by the first data pipeline will be processed by the identified reusable processing module at least twice. The first pipeline is activated.
