Publication number: 20240144299Abstract: Real-time busyness information is for a public place is computed in a privacy-sensitive way, and provided for display in relation to historical busyness information. An aggregate amount of real-time location information available for a particular public place is measured (410), and used to determine (420) whether the public place is privacy-qualified. If the public place is privacy-qualified, real-time busyness information is computed (440) for the public place based on the real-time location information. Further, it is determined (450) whether the computed real-time busyness information is accuracy-qualified, based on a comparison of the real-time busyness information to historical busyness information. If both qualifications are met, the real-time busyness information is output (470) for display or to another application.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Frank Russo, Luuk Van Dijk, Paul Donnelly, Quang Duong, James Aspinall, Finnegan Southey, Steve Chien

Publication number: 20200402614Abstract: Methods are disclosed for analysing genetic data about an organism. In one arrangement, input units are derived from studies that provide information about the association between genetic variants and phenotypes. Input units are assigned to one of a plurality of clusters, based on an assessment of the extent to which input units share genetic variants that affect any aspect of the phenotype corresponding to each input unit or any of the underlying biological mechanisms of the phenotype, thereby identifying phenotypes that share underlying biological mechanisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2019Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Christopher Charles Alan SPENCER, Gerard Anton LUNTER, Peter James DONNELLY, Vincent Yann Marie PLAGNOL

Patent number: 9778989Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided for implementing concurrent adapter firmware update of a Single Root Input/Output Virtualization (SRIOV) adapter in a virtualized system. An adapter driver is used to update adapter firmware concurrent with normal I/O operations. When configuration is stored in a scratchpad buffer, the adapter driver detects virtual functions (VFs) configured and operating. An enhanced error handling (EEH) process is initiated, freezing the VFs, and an updated adapter firmware image is loaded to the adapter. The adapter driver completes the EEH recovery, the adapter is restarted using the new updated adapter firmware. The VFs device drivers unfreeze the VFs, and complete the EEH recovery.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jesse P.
