  • Patent number: 12248389
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for monitoring technology usage and data quality in decentralized pharmaceutical trials. In some implementations, a system receives data collected using one or more technology items for participants in a clinical trial that involves use of a pharmaceutical by the participants. The system evaluates usage of the one or more technology items by the participants in the clinical trial at multiple times during the clinical trial to determine whether the participants use the one or more technology items according to a protocol for the clinical trial or whether the collected data provides a level of data quality needed. The system determines, based on the evaluation, that one or more requirements for the clinical trial are not satisfied. In response, the system provides a notification to one or more devices of a researcher associated with the clinical trial.

  • Patent number: 12093822
    Abstract: A computer trains, based on many timeseries, many anomaly detectors. Each anomaly detector is configured with a respective distinct contamination factor. Each timeseries is a temporal sequence of datapoints that characterize a device. Each datapoint in the many timeseries has a respective label that indicates whether the device failed when the datapoint occurred. Each anomaly detector detects: a set of anomalous datapoints, the size of which is proportional to the contamination factor of the anomaly detector, a healthy count of anomalous datapoints in timeseries of devices not failed, and an unhealthy count of anomalous datapoints in timeseries of failed devices. For a particular anomaly detector, the computer detects that the magnitude of the difference between the respective healthy count and the respective unhealthy count is less than a predefined threshold. Based on the contamination factor of the particular anomaly detector, anomalous datapoints are oversampled.

The monitoring device runs a fail-safe service independently of the platform, via which the monitoring device interacts with the fail-safe peripheral module. The fail-safe peripheral module signals a safe state based on the implemented safety function and the fail-safe service.

  • Patent number: 11983091
    Abstract: A system and method to adaptively generate a program model. Source code of a program to be tested for code issues, and a set of predefined patterns to be tested in the source code are received. Feature configuration data is generated by determining a set of features corresponding to the received set of predefined patterns. A set of program models is identified by selecting, for each feature in the set of features, a program model from among a plurality of program models that is optimized for the feature. A dynamic program model is built based on the identified set of program models, the dynamic program model being adapted to resolve each of the patterns included in the received set of predefined patterns. And the source code is tested for code issues by extracting from the dynamic program model instances of each of the set of predefined patterns.

  • Patent number: 11960900
    Abstract: Technologies for fast boot-up of a compute device with error-correcting code (ECC) memory are disclosed. A basic input/output system (BIOS) of a compute device may assign memory addresses of the ECC memory to different processors on the compute device. The processors may then initialize the ECC memory in parallel by writing to the ECC memory. The processors may write to the ECC memory with direct-store operations that are immediately written to the ECC memory instead of being cached. The BIOS may continue to operation on one processor while the rest of the processors initialize the ECC memory.

  • Patent number: 11962862
    Abstract: Improved technical functionality is provided to dynamically select and seamlessly play advertisements immediately before playing of a recorded program upon selection of the recorded program for playing, or upon other detected events and conditions associated with the set-top-box (STB) or user. In some embodiments, this is performed by using metadata which may be delivered to and stored on a digital video recorder (DVR) prior to recording the program, providing a technical solution to enable opportunities for additional advertisement impressions. Playing of the advertisement may also or instead occur upon the recorded program finishing playing. Thus, the technical solution provides the additional opportunity for the content creator and/or the satellite television or cable service provider to sell advertising spots in addition to those already sold for breaks within the recorded program.

  • Patent number: 11922230
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an API specification document is processed to extract metadata representing API elements. Dependencies are mapped between the API elements using orders and ranks to create a metamodel that includes a map of metadata attributes and links that represent functional and operational aspects of program elements accessible via the API. The metamodel is stored for use in generating support infrastructure artifacts. In some embodiments, database entities are compared to a metamodel to generate matches. Each match indicates a confidence score and a relationship between a database entity and a metadata attribute. A selection of a metadata attribute is received for inclusion in the new API, and a selection of a database entity to be associated with the metadata attribute for the new API is received. The computing system updates the confidence score for the match that indicates the relationship between the database entity and the metadata attribute.
