  • Patent number: 11334573
    Abstract: Pinnacle concepts are not amenable to detection by the use of keywords. A unit of natural language discourse (UNLD) “refers” to a pinnacle concept “C” when that UNLD uses linguistic expressions in such a way that “C” is regarded as expressed, used or invoked by an ordinary reader of “L.” A reference can have a “reference level” value that is proportional to: the “strength” with which the pinnacle concept is referenced, the probability that a pinnacle concept is referenced or both strength and probability. Pinnacle concepts can be divided into Quantifiers and non-Quantifiers. A Quantifier can modify the reference level assigned to a non-Quantifier. A concept “C,” that is determined to be referenced by a UNLD “x,” after application of its Quantifiers, is said to be asserted by “x.” Concept-based classification is the identification of whether a pinnacle concept “C” is asserted by a UNLD. Concept-based classification can be used for concept-based search.

  • Patent number: 11227098
    Abstract: Co-browsing shadow DOM elements is enabled by detecting shadow host DOM elements and nested shadow host DOM elements on the visitor DOM. Identifiers are attached to the DOM elements within shadow DOM regions to uniquely and efficiently identify the DOM elements within shadow DOM regions and nested shadow DOM regions. When shadow DOM elements are transmitted on the co-browse session, the identifiers specify where the DOM elements are located (which shadow DOM regions) so that the agent co-browse JavaScript is able to efficiently locate the DOM elements without querying each shadow DOM region. The agent co-browse JavaScript maintains a map correlating shadow root identifiers with the HTML of the shadow DOM regions and associated constructed stylesheets, so that the HTML of a shadow DOM region is not required to be re-transmitted if the portion of the DOM including the shadow host is replaced.

  • Patent number: 11227401
    Abstract: A multiresolution voxel space is discussed herein. Data can be represented in individual levels in the multiresolution voxel space. A first level can correspond to a first region of an environment and a second level can correspond to a second region of an environment, the second region corresponding to a subset of the first region. In some examples, the levels can comprise a same number of voxels, such that the first level covers a large, low resolution region, while the second level covers a smaller, higher resolution region, though more levels are contemplated. Data represented in the voxel spaces can be processed at higher resolution where available and at a lower resolution where a data density is lower and combined in an intelligent manner. Voxel spaces can be updated based on movement of the sensor providing the data.

  • Patent number: 11212195
    Abstract: Operational metrics of a distributed collection of servers in a cloud environment are analyzed by a service to intelligently machine learn which operational metric is highly correlated to incidents or failures in the cloud environment. To do so, metric values of the operational metrics are analyzed over time by the service to check whether the operation metrics exceed a particular metric threshold. If so, the service also checks whether such spikes in the operation metric above the metric thresholds occurred during known cloud incidents. Statistics are calculated reflecting the number of times the operational metrics spiked during times of cloud incidents and spiked during times without cloud incidents. Correlation scores based on these statistics are calculated and used to select the correlated operational metrics that are most correlated to cloud failures.
