Patents Assigned to Robert T. and Virginia T. Jenkins
  • Publication number: 20240126819
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and/or systems for sorting digital information are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, samples of a portion of digital information are associated with prime numerals. Such digital information may then be sorted based upon combinations of such digital information. In another example embodiment, a portion or sub-portion of a collection of digital information is converted to at least one sorting value. It should be understood, however, that these are merely example implementations and that claimed subject matter is not limited in this respect.

  • Patent number: 10713274
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of converting signal values for a first expression including accessing, from the at least one of the physical memory devices, signal values for a first expression in the first view; transforming the signal values for the first expression in the first view to signal values for the first expression in the second view and storing, in the memory, the signal values corresponding to the first expression in the second view, wherein the signal values before and after the transformation correspond to content in the database. The signal values for the first expression in the first view include at least one of a symbol value, a numerical value, or an alphabetic value; and the signal values for the first expression in the second view include at least one of the following expression types: a hierarchical edge or node labeled tree.
