Abstract: A National Online Parcel-Level Map Data Portal (NPDP) is provided that optimizes online delivery of parcel-level maps and linked attribute data. To do this, the NPDP manages a database of assembled and current vector based parcel data in a spatial format (GIS) that enables geocoded parcel boundaries to be linked to property tax records. A user enters a street address into an appropriate screen window to call up and view road right-of ways, all parcel boundaries and the “exact” address location as a highlighted parcel area. In addition, a list of property record attributes such as owner, use code, assessed value and year constructed can be displayed. Other on screen parcels can likewise be selected if one wishes to view their linked attributes.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for dynamically masking an access control list corresponding to a file system object in response to a change mode command. In one implementation, a change mode command for a file system object to change a first mode to a second mode is received. The first mode defines a first set of access rights and the second mode defines a second set of access rights. In response to the change mode command, a mask is dynamically applied to an access control list corresponding to the file system object. The access control list has zero or more access control entries defining access permissions for the file system object. The mask modifies any of the zero or more access control entries that have access permissions that exceed the second set of access rights defined by the second mode. The access control list is preserved.

Abstract: In various embodiments, systems and methods are provided for generating and using a customized index. In embodiments, an index structure is constructed to efficiently utilize machines containing index portions. In this regard, the index structure for a particular application is customizable such that a number of virtual index units for a particular index type and/or a number of machines associated with the virtual index units for the particular index type can be optimized for machine and/or system performance and efficiency. Utilizing the constructed index structure, documents can be distributed to various index units, virtual index units, and/or machines in real-time or near real-time. Further, the customized index structure can be used to efficiently serve search results in response to search queries.

Abstract: A method for avoiding conflicts in a multi-master database cluster is provided. A set of hot spots is identified in the database cluster. When a given node receives a given transaction, the given node selects one or more hot-spot servicing nodes for one or more hot-spot sub-transactions, namely one or more sub-transactions of the given transaction that correspond to one or more hot spots of the set of hot spots. Subsequently, the given node redirects the hot-spot sub-transactions to their respective hot-spot servicing nodes. The hot-spot sub-transactions are then executed at their respective hot-spot servicing nodes.

Abstract: A binary data file embodies an inline tree data structure storing fields of a hierarchical dataset. The inline tree comprises first-level binary string segments, each comprising substantially contiguous second-level binary string segments, corresponding to subranges of first and second subsets of data fields. Size is reduced by substituting: binary string indices for alphanumeric strings; a data clump index for a set of correlated/anticorrelated strings; field masks for unoccupied data fields. A dedicated conversion program generates the inline tree from conventional database formats, which is read entirely into RAM to be searched/filtered by a dedicated search/filter program. Small size (<2 bytes/field/record) and contiguous arrangement enables searching/filtering of >106 records (>100 data fields) in <500 nanoseconds/record/core. Recursive subdivision of selection field ranges can guide searches that include those selection fields.

Further, the instructions receive information corresponding to selection of the at least one option by the one or more users. Additionally, the instructions update the database based on the selection of the at least one option by the one or more users. Further, a device for enhancing interaction with the things is also disclosed.

Abstract: A query may be applied against search engines that respectively return a set of search results relating to various items discovered in the searched data sets. However, presenting numerous and varied search results may be difficult on mobile devices with small displays and limited computational resources. Instead, search results may be associated with search domains representing various information types (e.g., contacts, public figures, places, projects, movies, music, and books) and presented by grouping search results with associated query domains, e.g., in a tabbed user interface. The query may be received through an input device associated with a particular input domain, and may be transitioned to the query domain of a particular search engine (e.g., by recognizing phonemes of a voice query using an acoustic model; matching phonemes with query terms according to a pronunciation model; and generating a recognition result according to a vocabulary of an n-gram language model.

Abstract: A method of operating a virtual computer system including a file access interceptor and multiple virtual machines that are logically arranged in a virtualization environment that is managed by a virtualization environment manager is provided. The method includes reading file settings definitions that include identifications and properties of files that are configured to be accessed by a computer application, replacing operations of a file interface in the computer application using with file access interceptor operations that use the file settings to decouple file attributes from the computer application, managing file access via the file access interceptor operations to provide data file storage and read access to the files, and synchronizing file actions in each of a plurality of instances of the files. Related systems and computer program products are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing files is provided. Current metadata including a filename and a hash identifier for each file of the synchronized folder is created. The current metadata is compared to previous metadata. Based on the comparison, a first file and a first folder added to the synchronized folder and a second file and a second folder deleted from the synchronized folder are identified. The hash identifiers of the first and second files are compared. If the hash identifiers match, the filenames of the first and second files are compared. If the filenames do not match, the first file is identified as a renamed file. Metadata is sent to a synchronized device with information related to the first folder sent before information related to the first file, which is sent before information related to the second folder.

Abstract: A data structure comprises a clump header table and an inline tree data structure. The inline tree, representing filterable data fields of hierarchically organized data records, comprises an alternating sequence of first-level binary string segments, each followed by one or more corresponding second-level binary string segments. Each clump header record includes an indicator of a location in the inline tree of corresponding binary string segments. A dedicated, specifically adapted conversion program generates the clump header file and the inline tree for storage on any computer-readable medium, and the inline tree can be read entirely into RAM to be searched or filtered. A dedicated, specifically adapted search and filter program is employed to list or enumerate retrieved data records. Run-time computer code generation can reduce time required for searching and filtering. One example includes spatial searching and filtering of data records that include spatial coordinates as data fields.
