  • Patent number: 11762958
    Abstract: Examples described herein provide for determining a recipe for identifying from which buckets integrated circuit chips are taken to form units of a multi-chip apparatus. In an example, a method uses a processor-based system and uses a Markov Decision Process. Buckets are defined based on respective characteristics of manufactured chips. Each of the manufactured chips is binned into a respective one of the buckets based on the characteristic of the respective manufactured chip. A recipe for identifying from which of the buckets to take one or more of the manufactured chips to incorporate into respective ones of the units of the multi-chip apparatus is generated.

  • Patent number: 11720856
    Abstract: Described herein is a system for providing version control across APIs. In an embodiment, an application of a client device may transmit communications to a service application API that are in a format not accepted by the service application API, using the application API. A central (or public) API may receive the communication transmitted by the application's API. The central API may identify the versions of the application's API and the service application API. The central API may format the communication based on the mapped fields, to a format accepted by the service application API. The central API 106 may forward the formatted communication to the service application.

  • Patent number: 11693645
    Abstract: When configuration information regarding configurations of respective devices are received from electronic control units, the in-vehicle device generates a hash value based on data values of the configuration information, and transmits the hash value to a center device. The center device compares the hash value received from the in-vehicle device with a hash value of configuration information of the vehicle stored in a vehicle-side configuration information storage unit of the center device, and notifies the in-vehicle device of a full data transmission request for transmitting all data values of the configuration information when both of the hash values do not match each other. When the in-vehicle device is notified of the full data transmission request, the in-vehicle device transmits all of the data values of the configuration information to the center device.

  • Patent number: 11693634
    Abstract: Certain aspects involve building segment-specific executable program code. In one example, a code-building service can execute segmentation logic that assigns different target entity records to different segments based on differences between sets of attribute values among the target entity records. The code-building service can select, for each segment, a set of data assets that is specific to the assigned segment and a set of source code portions that is specific to the selected data assets. The code-building service can order each set of the source code portions based on an identified modeling output type for the target entity records. The code-building service can generate, from the ordered source code portions, a set of program code referencing the selected subset of the data assets. For instance, the generated program code, if executed, can generate and transmit different modeling outputs for different target entity records.

  • Patent number: 11693647
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive, in a state event store, a deployment state event notification based on deployment of a new event consumer in the system. An old event consumer of the system may retrieve the deployment state event notification from the state event store. The system may deactivate an old event consumer based on retrieving the deployment state event notification, wherein the old event consumer refrains from processing topic event notifications after deactivation and continues to monitor the state event store for state event notifications. The old event consumer may publish a deactivation state event notification to the state event store based on deactivating the old event consumer. The new event consumer may retrieve the deactivation state event notification from the state event store. The system may activate the new event consumer based on retrieving the deactivation state event notification.

  • Patent number: 11683387
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for providing zero- (permanent) byte real-time customized software to a user's client station. A user may request real-time customized software from one channel. The request may be transmitted to a server and analyzed to determine an intent for the customized software. The intent may be matched to one or more features in a feature catalog and an appropriate target output channel may be determined. A feature bundler may extract source code corresponding to the feature(s) and output channel, compile the code and transmit the customized software to the target output channel. The target output channel may execute the customized software within a container and delete the software when a deletion condition is satisfied, such as after the user finishes using the software.

  • Patent number: 11650743
    Abstract: Storage drives can be configured to provide a component ID. An update tool on an end user device can be configured to retrieve this component ID in response to receiving a catalog that defines available firmware updates and to use the retrieved component ID to dynamically identify which firmware update applies to a particular storage drive. The firmware update can then be installed on the storage drive. The update tool may also perform a health assessment to dynamically determine whether the storage drive's health is sufficient to proceed with a firmware update.

  • Patent number: 11620286
    Abstract: Runtime statistics from the actual performance of operations on a set of data are collected and utilized to dynamically modify the execution plan for processing a set of data. The operations performed are modified to include statistics collection operations, the statistics being tailored to the specific operations being quantified. Optimization policy defines how often optimization is attempted and how much more efficient an execution plan should be to justify transitioning from the current one. Optimization is based on the collected runtime statistics but also takes into account already materialized intermediate data to gain further optimization by avoiding reprocessing.

  • Patent number: 11620123
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for coordinating multiple software component deployments, upgrades, or migrations simultaneously or individually across a multiple-location/cloud platform. The system includes an application gateway router that routes incoming API requests based on an identifier in headers of the request that is associated with a swimlane construct, the swimlane containing multiple software components. By associating a swimlane's possible destinations with a timestamp or time range indicating when they are in effect, all of the components in the swimlane can be simultaneously upgraded or migrated by changing the API endpoint to which requests will be forwarded, with zero downtime. This solution is technology-, platform-, and cloud-agnostic and can be extended and applied to any organization using software.

  • Patent number: 11620121
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing users of services provided by network-based service platforms with additional control for approving patches that are to be deployed to computing resources that support their services. In some examples, the techniques include generating and using a “snapshot,” or list, of patches that are preliminarily approved for deployment. Prior to deploying the patches to the computing resources, users are provided with access to the snapshot and are able to modify the snapshot. For example, users can modify the snapshot by adding patches, removing patches, specifying a sequence in which the patches are to be deployed, and so forth. The snapshot of patches may be “frozen” for a period of time, meaning that patches that during the period of time, only patches in the snapshot are deployed, and patches that are not included in the snapshot are not permitted to be deployed to computing resources.
