20120310618 | TECHNIQUES FOR APPLICATION TUNING - Techniques for tuning systems generate configurations that are used to test the systems to determine optimal configurations for the systems. The configurations for a system are generated to allow for effective testing of the system while remaining within budgetary and/or resource constraints. The configurations may be selected to satisfy one or more conditions on their distributions to ensure that a satisfactory set of configurations are tested. Machine learning techniques may be used to create models of systems and those models can be used to determine optimal configurations. | 12-06-2012 |

20140074928 | SEMI-SUPERVISED IDENTITY AGGREGATION OF PROFILES USING STATISTICAL METHODS - User profiles can be analyzed to identify profiles matching to the same identity. For example, profiles from different social network systems are analyzed to determine if the profiles are associated with the same user of the social network systems. Multiple heuristics may be calculated using different algorithms. The calculated heuristics may then be combined to generate a match score that indicates whether two profiles match. | 03-13-2014 |
20140075500 | REPUTATION-BASED AUDITING OF ENTERPRISE APPLICATION AUTHORIZATION MODELS - Reputation metrics are used to gauge risk of individuals to an organization, such as employees of a business. The reputation metrics may be calculated from both internal and external data sources, including social network profiles of the individuals. Calculations of risk are used to make determinations regarding the activities the individuals are authorized to engage in. | 03-13-2014 |

20090056644 | STORAGE-TYPE WATER HEATER HAVING TANK CONDITION MONITORING FEATURES - Methods and systems for evaluating the condition of a water tank having a powered anode protection system. The water heater includes a storage tank to hold water, a powered anode, and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a variable voltage supply, a voltage sensor, and a current sensor. The control circuit is configured to compare a measured parameter to a threshold. In some constructions, the threshold is indicative of a condition of the storage tank at which the powered anode is no longer able to protect the storage tank from corrosion. In other constructions, the threshold is predicative of a potential failure of the storage tank caused by corrosion. In some constructions, the control circuit is configured to estimate a time remaining until the predicted failure of the storage tank. | 03-05-2009 |
20090061367 | APPLIANCE HAVING A SAFETY STRING - A gas-fired appliance is disclosed that includes a gas valve powered by a power source. A plurality of switching units, each responsive to a condition of the appliance, are arranged in series between the gas valve and the power source. Each switching unit includes an emitter, such as an emitter of an optocoupler, that is used to monitor the opened or closed status of a switch in the switching unit. When at least one switch opens, power to the gas valve is reduced preventing the gas valve from operating. However, because this reduced power is provided to each subsequent switching unit, each optocoupler can be monitored regardless of the opened or closed status of previous switching units. As such, one or more open switches can be detected simulataneously. | 03-05-2009 |
20090061368 | APPLIANCE HAVING LOAD MONITORING SYSTEM - An appliance is disclosed that includes an electrically operated load such as a gas-fired appliance having an electrically operated gas valve. A current sensing circuit is configured to sense the current provided to the load. Based upon this sensed current, it is determined whether the load is energized. Methods are also disclosed for monitoring the status of a current sensing circuit to determine the actual operating state of the load. | 03-05-2009 |
