IPC Code(s): G06F3/04847, G06F3/0485
CPC Code(s): G06F3/04847
Abstract: a header and a timestamp element for the header may be generated based on a request to process data for a page of a user interface. a tooltip with descriptive information for the timestamp element may be generated and displayed based on proximity of an interactive element to the timestamp element, and a page representation window may be displayed based on an interaction with the timestamp element. the page representation window includes a representation of the data field and its content that is indicative of how the data field and its content existed at a time of the request to process data. moreover, an indicator of correspondence between the timestamp element and the page representation window may be displayed. based on interaction with a settings indicator element, a header settings window for modifying settings for the header may be displayed with view options (e.g., all, custom, etc.) for data submissions.

CPC Code(s): G06F16/24542
Abstract: techniques are disclosed relating to deriving a set of key ranges. a computer system receives a database query to be executed against a database having a database table that stores records associated with keys. the database query specifies a set of conditional expressions that affect which ones of those records are returned. based on the set of conditional expressions, the computer system derives a set of key ranges. the deriving can include representing the set of conditional expressions as a set of key spaces, performing a set of logical operations on pairs of those key spaces to reduce a number of key spaces in the set of key spaces, and converting the set of key spaces into the set of key ranges after performing the set of logical operations.

Abstract: artificial intelligence (ai) technology can be used in combination with composable communication goal statements to facilitate a user's ability to quickly structure story outlines in a manner usable by an nlg narrative generation system without any need for the user to directly author computer code. narrative analytics that are linked to communication goal statements can employ a conditional outcome framework that allows the content and structure of resulting narratives to intelligently adapt as a function of the nature of the data under consideration. this ai technology permits nlg systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired communication goal.

CPC Code(s): G06Q30/0631
Abstract: a recommendation service access a data matrix listing of products associated with product profiles, the data matrix having product entries that store sparse historical electronic activity. for a target product it is determined which other products should be used to boost the historical electronic activity of the target product based on a first subset of product profiles that share product characteristics with the target product. similarity scores are computed between the product profile of the target product and the first subset of product profiles to identify a second subset of one or more products having a similarity score above a scoring threshold. the historical electronic activity of the target product is boosted using the historical electronic activity of the other products in the second subset. association values are calculated between the target product and the other products in the second subset by based on the boosted activity.

CPC Code(s): H04L63/083
Abstract: a cloud infrastructure is configured and deployed for managing services executed on a cloud platform. the cloud infrastructure includes a control datacenter configured to communicate with one or more service datacenters. the service datacenter deploys one or more application programming interfaces (api's) associated with a service. the service datacenter also deploys an administration agent. the control datacenter hosts an engine that receives requests from users to perform administration operations by invoking the administration api's. in this manner, the control datacenter functions as a centralized control mechanism that effectively distributes administration operation requests as they are received from users to service datacenters that can service the requests. the cloud infrastructure provides an auditable, compliant and secure management system for administering services for distributed systems running in the cloud.
