  • Patent number: 11977987
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and product for automatic hypothesis generation using geospatial data. A labeled dataset and an auxiliary dataset are obtained. Instances comprise geospatial attributes. Hypothesis generation is performed automatically based on the labeled dataset. For each labeled instance, one or more auxiliary instances are selected from the auxiliary dataset based on a geospatial relation between the geospatial attribute of the labeled instance and the geospatial attribute of the auxiliary instance. Based on the selected auxiliary instances, one or more new attributes are computed and added to the labeled instance.

  • Patent number: 11977539
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to improved techniques for generating SQL statements, including both DDL and DML statements. In certain embodiments, a relational metadata management system (RMMS) stores and maintains a metadata repository corresponding to one or more source databases. The RMMS can represent a SQL engine layer that is situated on top of a SQL engine and/or SQL database to facilitate higher levels of abstraction and reusability of the data included in the databases. The RMMS can include a SQL generator that utilizes the metadata stored in the metadata repository to generate the SQL statements for querying the one or more source databases.

  • Patent number: 11977454
    Abstract: Described is a system for leveraging incremental backup metadata of a deduplication storage system to perform an efficient data restore. The system may reference metadata stored as part of incremental backup infrastructure to determine only the changes to the data that occurred subsequent to the restore point. As a result, the system may reduce data read processing by retrieving only the changed data from the deduplication storage system. Moreover, the system may reduce the required bandwidth for the restore by providing only the changed data to a target device of the restore. Data retained by the client system such as the current version of the data may then be overwritten with the reduced set of data to complete the restore. As a result, the system may perform an efficient restore by reducing read accesses and bandwidth requirements, and thus, improve overall restore performance.

  • Patent number: 11974556
    Abstract: In some cases, the described reel coupler includes a rod coupler base that couples to a fishing rod, and a reel coupler base that couples to a fishing reel, and that selectively couples to the rod coupler base via a coupling mechanism. In some cases, the coupling mechanism includes a process on either the rod or the reel coupler base, and a corresponding recess in the other of the rod and the reel coupler base, with the process being configured to slidingly mate with the recess. In some cases, the reel coupler includes a lock that is configured to move between a locked position where a first portion of the lock blocks a portion of the process to prevent the process in the recess from sliding out of the recess, and a release position where the lock allows the process to slidingly decouple from the recess. Other implementations are described.
