Patent number: 11915326Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a concept for determining the relevance of a tag within a post. Responsive to receiving a post composed by a first user and containing a tag referring to a second user, a post context based on a topic of the post, a user context based on a record of the first user and a tag context based on a record of the second user are obtained. The post context and the user context are compared to the tag context, and it is determined whether the tag is relevant to the post and the first user based on comparing the post context and the user context to the tag context.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christopher John Poole, Joseph Peter Kent, Thomas James Waterton

Publication number: 20230289286Abstract: An apparatus, a method, and computer program product are provided that track build identifications of a project to determine when their associated files should be deallocated by a garbage collection system. The method includes receiving, by a continuous integration server, a payload from a source control management (SCM) system. The method also includes detecting at least one build identification (ID) within the payload and analyzing metadata contained within the payload to determine an adjustment to the reference counter for the build ID. The method further includes adjusting, based on the analysis, the reference counter relating to the build ID in a reference table, and passing the table to a garbage collection system for memory management purposes of the continuous integration server. The garbage collection system can then delete files associated with the build IDs that have reference counters at or below zero.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Christopher John Poole, Ashley Robertson

Publication number: 20220138026Abstract: The present disclosure provides for sharing data structure values between applications via messaging in a computer operating system. A plurality of data structures are defined, each with a given topic name, and a data structure including a collection of defined formats of multiple data elements. Interest by applications in topics is registered. Within an application a collection of multiple data elements having the formats of a defined data structure are identified, and an item is stored in association with the given topic name of the defined data structure, where the item is a collection of data values of the identified data elements. The item is made available to an application registered to the topic for input of the values in a corresponding data structure in the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Christopher John Poole, Thomas James Waterton, Joseph Peter Kent

Patent number: 11026236Abstract: A more efficient over-the-air software push can be facilitated by leveraging a smart scheduling system for vehicles. The smart scheduling system can use location and network capacity data to prioritize over-the-air software pushes for vehicles. For instance, a vehicle, which is only operational during off-peak wireless network hours can receive a software push during the off-peak times because wireless network capacity is not an issue. However, vehicles, which are used primarily during heavy peak wireless network times can receive software in a prioritized manner based on location data, frequency of use, network capacity, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Lien Tran, Simon D. Byers, Carlos Eduardo De Andrade, Emir Halepovic, David John Poole, Christopher T. Volinsky

Patent number: 10705016Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for analyzing the moisture content in natural gas. In one embodiment, a portable moisture analyzer system is provided and can include a moisture analyzer and a housing. The moisture analyzer can include a tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer (TDLAS) and a natural gas sample conditioning system. The TDLAS can be configured to detect water vapor content within a natural gas sample. The sample conditioning system can be in fluid communication with the TDLAS and can be configured to condition at least one of temperature, flow rate, and pressure of a natural gas sample. The housing can be configured to receive the moisture analyzer therein and to protect the moisture analyzer from vibration and/or shock.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: GE Infrastructure Sensing, LLCInventors: John Sanroma, John Poole, Aniruddha Sudheer Weling, Gene Berkowitz
