  • Patent number: 11366959
    Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for integrating collaborative spreadsheet data into one or more network applications is presented. Spreadsheet data and an application data schema are accessed. The spreadsheet data corresponds to a spreadsheet having one or more validation rules. The application data schema comprises a set of constraints on application data consumed by an application hosted by an application server. A notification is displayed in response to determining that the one or more validation rules exclude at least one constraint from the set of constraints. The notification includes an indication that the application data is unable to be synchronized with the spreadsheet data and specifies one or more additional validation rules to associate with the spreadsheet to trigger synchronization of the application data with the spreadsheet data.

  • Patent number: 11334570
    Abstract: An electronic medical records (EMR) system that enables a user to import paper-based clinical form templates (typically Word documents) and insert data tags in the data fields on the templates. This approach allows the user to retrieve clinical data from user inputs and from hospital recordkeeping systems, such as HIS, LIS, RIS/PACS, and others to generate EMR forms. Medical personnel can then access the data to generate descriptive, predictive, or prescriptive analytics including vital sign charts, drug interaction warnings, and drug recommendations. The system also enables secure data sharing between healthcare facilities using a blockchain system or a FHIR server. Upon signing an EMR form with one or more electronic signatures, the system generates a digitized image including images of the electronic signatures. The system generates hash of the digitized image and store the hash to the blockchain system, wherein the hash is used to verify the signed EMR form.

  • Patent number: 11321394
    Abstract: A graph comprising nodes and edges is stored by a distributed system as a collection of nodes and half-edges stored with their respective nodes. A message processor is associated with a node as needed to process messages passed between nodes, such that a given node has zero or one message processor assigned to it at a given time. Queries of the graph are resolved by processing a first portion of the query at a first node, and forwarding the results with the remaining portions of the query to a node linked by an edge to the present node.

  • Patent number: 11308041
    Abstract: N storage nodes that are coupled via a network are selected to store a file of size |F| and redundancy of size |Fred|. A value Z<N is selected such that an attacker having access to Z storage nodes is unable to decode any partial information of the file. The file is divided into d partitions of size |PsN|, wherein |PsN| is a maximum factor of |F| subject to |PsN|?|sN|. Independent linear combinations hi's of the d partitions are created and random keys are generated and stored in the first Z of the N storage nodes. Independent linear combinations gi's of the random keys are created and combinations of the hi's and gi's are stored in the Z+1 to Nth storage nodes.

  • Patent number: 11308040
    Abstract: A set of N network-coupled edge storage nodes are selected to store a file of size |F|. The N edge storage nodes have heterogeneous storage availability and are ordered from a largest storage availability at the first edge storage node to a smallest availability at the Nth edge storage node. A value Z<N is selected, such that an attacker having access to Z edge storage nodes is unable to decode any partial information of the file. The first through Z+1th edge storage nodes are assigned a same packet size. Keys are stored in the first Z edge storage nodes and independent linear combinations of the keys combined with partitions of the file are stored in the Z+1th to the Nth edge storage nodes.

  • Patent number: 11288323
    Abstract: A computer system processes data requests using a data delivery queue. A query received from a client is processed to generate response data, wherein the response data is held in a queue prior to transmitting to the client. The response data in the queue is iteratively divided into a plurality of blocks, wherein each block of the plurality of blocks is compressed prior to transmitting to the client, and wherein a block size of a given block is determined based on an amount of time to compress and transmit a preceding block. The plurality of blocks are transmitted to the client. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for processing data requests using a data delivery queue in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 11281729
    Abstract: Methods for automatically generating a wrapper for extracting web data and corresponding computer systems are disclosed. In one arrangement, a first wrapper is used to generate a second wrapper. The first wrapper extracts target data from one or more target web pages hosted by one or more target web servers. The second wrapper is capable of extracting the same target data from the same one or more target web pages without using a web browser engine to perform a) sending requests to the one or more target web servers, and/or b) processing replies from the one or more target web servers. The generation of the second wrapper comprises analysing one or both of the following: (i) code defining the first wrapper, (ii) interactions between the first wrapper and the one or more target web servers that occur during execution of the first wrapper.

  • Patent number: 11243956
    Abstract: Databases may enforce foreign key constraints for efficient materialized view updates. A materialized view may be created for a database. Updates to the database may be received and performed according to a foreign key constraint enforced with respect to the updates. An update to the materialized view may be performed to make the materialized view consistent with the updates to the database. Performance of a join operation to update the materialized view that would return a result violating the foreign key constraint may be excluded from the update to the materialized view.

  • Patent number: 11232158
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for single view presentation of multiple query. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for single view presentation of multiple query includes directing a query against a database along a selected dimension of multiple different elements. In response, a primary result set is received. The result set is then organized into a tabular view of cells according to the selected dimension and values for the selected dimension. Thereafter, a set of nested queries may be directed for each of the elements in the selected dimension against the result set utilizing a different dimension. In response to each directed set of nested queries, a corresponding result set is thus received. Finally, each corresponding result set is inserted into a cell associated with a common one of the elements.

  • Patent number: 11221993
    Abstract: A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for limited deduplication scope on a distributed file system is discussed. A write request is received from a client at the metadata server (“MDS”), where the write request comprises a data object identifier and a preferred object store identifier. The MDS determines whether a preferred object store associated with the preferred object store identifier contains a copy of a data object associated with the data object identifier. A write URL comprising the data object identifier and a object store location associated with the preferred object store is transmitted to the client when the preferred object store does not contain the copy of the data object.
