20180276309 | PROVIDING DYNAMIC OVERVIEW PANEL USER EXPERIENCE - Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating an overview panel that includes content received from data sources. An embodiment operates by a computer implemented method that includes determining the user, the user's role, and/or domains associated with the user in order to determine the content and/or data sources from which content should be received. The method further includes parsing the content from the data sources associated with the user, the user's role, and/or domains and generating cards to display the content from the data sources in a unified and cohesive manner. | 2018-09-27 |
20180276310 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to an embodiment, an information processing system includes one or more memories and one or more processors coupled to the memories. The one or more processors are configured to receive a start time and an end time, and use time series information including data for which time information is associated with numerical information and index information including data for which a time range of the time information is associated with tabulation information tabulated for each time range of the time information, refer to the tabulation information associated with time information between the time range including the start time and the time range including the end time, and extract the tabulation information corresponding to a period between the start time and the end time. | 2018-09-27 |
20180276311 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ABSTRACTING INFORMATION FOR USE IN LINK ANALYSIS - Observable data points are collected and organized into a link-oriented data set comprising nodes and links. Information is abstracted for use in link analysis by generating links between the collected data points, including deriving links and inducing links. A link can be induced by linking together a pair of nodes that satisfy a distance function. Exemplary distance functions that can be used to induce links include geospatial proximity, attribute nearness, and name similarity. Paths can be identified between selected nodes of interest through a dataset operation, and nodes and/or links can be selectively included or excluded from the data set operation. The dataset can be augmented with pedigree information or one or more association nodes. Link information, including a trajectory and a connected path that selectively produces or excludes one or more intermediate nodes, can be displayed and/or produced in a specified format. | 2018-09-27 |
20180276312 | METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR ENTITY MATCHING - Entity matching is provided. A request to determine a second entity matching with a first entity may be received. Demographic fields to be compared to determine the match may be determined. Comparison weights including an agreement weight, a disagreement weight, and a null weight may be assigned to each of the plurality of demographic fields. The received request may be parsed to determine demographic fields data related to the second entity. The demographic fields data may be compared with indexed demographic data which may include a plurality of records. The demographic fields data may be compared for the determined plurality of demographic fields. A comparison weight for each of the plurality of demographic fields may be determined based on the comparison. The first entity matching with the second entity may be determined from the indexed demographic data based on determined comparison weights for the plurality of demographic fields. | 2018-09-27 |
20180276313 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PART IDENTIFICATION - A system and method for identifying parts on a vehicle and maintaining the parts within a system is disclosed. The system and method include submitting a vehicle identification number (VIN) to determine demand for parts associated with the vehicle identified by the VIN, generating a product delivery record (PDR) for at least one of the parts, entering the PDR of the at least one of the parts into a tracking system, determining the ultimate destination for the vehicle identified by the VIN, on a condition that the vehicle is destined to be dismantled, creating at least one dismantle report associated with either the vehicle or the parts, printing tags associated with the parts being dismantled from the vehicle, the tags providing at least one of routing or destination information for the part, and locating the parts based on the tag based on the routing or destination information. | 2018-09-27 |
20180276314 | PAGE DISPLAY METHOD AND SYSTEM - A page display method and system. The method comprises: obtaining stored metadata, wherein the metadata represents data describing commodity information ( | 2018-09-27 |
20180276315 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DESIGNING AND MODELING PRODUCTS IN A CLOUD ENVIRONMENT - Systems, computer readable media, and method concern receiving a processing request associated with a design or modeling of a product. The method also includes initiating one or more processes in a cloud for the processing request. Resources of the cloud are allocated based at least partially on requirements of the processing request and launch specifications. Further, the method includes establishing a channel between the one or more processes and a product design computer based at least partially on process specification. The product design computer is located remotely from the cloud, and the channel translates data between the one or more processes and the product design computer. The method also include outputting a result of the one or more processes to a requester associated with the process request. | 2018-09-27 |
20180276316 | CREATING GRADIENTS OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELS IN COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN APPLICATIONS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for creating one or more gradients of different materials for a three dimensional (3D) surface model include, in one aspect, a system including: an additive manufacturing machine designed to use different materials in combination with each other when manufacturing objects; and means for creating a discretized gradient for a 3D surface model of an object, to be manufactured using the additive manufacturing machine, by inserting one or more 3D surfaces into the 3D surface model at specified locations, thereby creating a non-manifold version of the 3D surface model having multiple discrete volumetric regions, and assigning a material specification to each of the discrete volumetric regions, each of the material specifications being either a single one of the different materials or a specified combination of the different materials, which are usable by the additive manufacturing machine to manufacture the object. | 2018-09-27 |
