  • Patent number: 11586699
    Abstract: Systems and methods that offer significant improvements to current content processing management systems for heterogeneous and widely distributed content sources are disclosed. The proposed systems and methods are configured to provide a framework and libraries of extensible components that together are designed enable creation of solutions to acquire data from one or more content repositories, possibly distributed around the world across a wide range of operating systems and hardware, process said content, and publish the resulting processed information to a search engine or other target application. The proposed embodiments offer an improved architecture that incorporates manager nodes and worker (processing) nodes, where worker nodes are configured to scan and process data, while manager nodes are configured to handle all allocation of work (including throttling) and control state and failover. Such an arrangement enables the system to perform with greater scalability and reliability.

  • Patent number: 11580357
    Abstract: A memory for storing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for access by an application being executed by one or more processors of a computing device is described. The DAG includes a plurality of nodes, wherein each node represents a data point within the DAG. The DAG further includes a plurality of directional edges. Each directional edge connects a pair of the nodes and represents a covering-covered relationship between two nodes. Each node comprises a subgraph consisting of the respective node and all other nodes reachable via a covering path that comprises a sequence of covering and covered nodes. Each node comprises a set of node parameters including at least an identifier and an address range. Each node and the legal address specify a cover path. Utilizing DAG Path Addressing with bindings the memory can be organized to store a generalization hierarchy of logical propositions.

  • Patent number: 11580146
    Abstract: A rule storing unit stores a set of rules each defining facts and a relation between the facts, and weights representing importance levels of the rules. An input data storing unit stores input data. A query storing unit stores a query. An importance level calculating unit calculates an importance level of each fact type of the facts defined by the rules. A fact data generating unit generates, for each fact type, fact data in which true/false is observed as a fact by a number corresponding to the importance level of the fact type, from the input data. A fact data storing unit stores the fact data. An inference performing unit performs probabilistic inference of a result of the query by using the fact data, the rules, and the weights. An output unit outputs a result of the inference.

  • Patent number: 11567929
    Abstract: This disclosure involves stitching event data using identity mappings. An event analytics system generates and stores an event dataset including first event data for a first set of events associated with a user. The first event data includes timestamps and a device identifier. The system identifies second event data for a second event associated with the user. The second event data includes a timestamp, the device identifier, and a user identifier. The system appends the second event data to the event dataset. Based on the second event data, the system generates and stores an identity mapping that maps the device identifier to the user identifier. Asynchronously to generating and storing the event dataset, based on the identity mapping and a predetermined look-back window, the system updates the first event data to include the user identifier.

  • Patent number: 11562030
    Abstract: An edge server receives a request from a client device for an action to be performed on a resource. The edge server determines whether data traffic is associated with one or more filters. When the edge server determines that there are filters associated with the type of data traffic, the edge server accesses a data structure storing properties of the request. For each request property in the data structure, the edge server applies a related filter to a value of the request property and determines where the value of the request property matches an expected value. In response to determining that one or more filters match, the edge server performs actions on the request. When the edge server performs the actions on the request, the edge server sends the request to the origin server.

  • Patent number: 11550755
    Abstract: High performance space efficient distributed storage is disclosed. For example, a distributed storage volume (DSV) is deployed on a plurality of hosts, with a first host storing a local cache, and a storage controller executing on a processor of the first host receives a request to store a first file. The first file is stored to the local cache. The DSV is queried to determine whether a second file that is a copy of the first file is stored in the DSV. In response to determining that the DSV lacks the second file, the first file is transferred from the local cache to the DSV and then replicated to a second host of the plurality of hosts. In response to determining that the second file resides in the DSV, a reference to the second file is stored in the DSV and then replicated to the second host.

  • Patent number: 11550811
    Abstract: The cloud hybrid application storage management system spans local data center and cloud-based storage and provides a unified view of content and administration throughout an enterprise. The system manages synchronization of storage locations, ensuring that files are replicated, uniquely identified, and protected against corruption. The system ingests digital media assets and creates instances of the assets with their own identification and rights and houses the identification and relationships in a CAR (Central Asset Registry). The system tracks the different instances of the assets in multiple storage locations using the CAR, which is a central asset registry that ties together disparate digital asset management repository systems (DAMs) and cloud-based storage archives in which the instances reside. While the invention treats and manages multiple files/instances independently, the CAR identifies them as related to each other.

  • Patent number: 11544232
    Abstract: The described methods, systems, and other aspects can, by way of example, advantageously provide efficient metadata storage in a master-slave node-based metadata store of a distributed storage system. An example method may write a first transaction entry in a transaction log of a first node based on a first request for a first operation associated with a first storage object. The method may then request a second node write the first transaction entry in a transaction log of the second node based on the first request. While awaiting a first acknowledgment of a completion of a writing of the first transaction entry in the transaction log of the second node, the method may proceed to write one or more subsequent transaction entries in the transaction log of the first node based on one or more subsequent requests for one or more operations associated with one or more storage objects.
