  • Patent number: 11989509
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for implementing digital script modification is provided. The method includes generating image sequences associated with textual content of a digital story. Multiple contextual dimensions are identified within the textual content and a group of dimensions are selected. The image sequences in combination with the group of dimensions are expanding or contracted and image sequences are altered based on detected interactions with the group of dimensions. Dimensions are extracted from the group of dimensions during presentation of the digital story and a scriptwriter is enabled to modify the dimensions. The image sequences are modified and a hardware interface device is enabled to interact with various image sequences and alter the multiple contextual dimensions. The textual content of the digital story is dynamically altered.

  • Patent number: 11989094
    Abstract: A method for minimizing data transfer and storage utilization on cloud object storage systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method replicates a file from a production system to a cloud object storage system. The method determines whether a number of hard links associated with the file is greater than one. In the event the number is greater than one, the method creates, on the cloud object storage system, a special object for the file and associates the file with the special object. Upon creating a hard link on the production system in association with the file, the method replicates the hard link from the production system to the cloud object storage system without replicating data associated with the file. A metadata reference to the special object is added to the hard link on the cloud object storage system. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11990414
    Abstract: Back-end-of-the line (BEOL) interconnect structures are provided in which an alternative metal such as, for example, a noble metal, is present in a combined via/line opening that is formed in an interconnect dielectric material layer. A surface diffusion dominated reflow anneal is used to reduce the thickness of a noble metal layer outside the combined via/line opening thus reducing or eliminating the burden of polishing the noble metal layer. In some embodiments and after performing the anneal, a lesser noble metal layer can be formed atop the noble metal layer prior to polishing. The use of the lesser noble metal layer may further reduce the burden of polishing the noble metal layer.
