Patent number: 11887566Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a piece of music is disclosed. The method comprises: determining an initial sequence of notes for the piece of music; determining at least one probability distribution for selecting at least one subsequent note from a set of candidate notes; generating a biasing output based on data of the initial sequence of notes; and extending the initial sequence of notes with at least one subsequent note selected from the set of candidate notes according to the probability distribution and the biasing output, wherein the biasing output biases the selection so as to affect the likelihood of the selection resulting in a repeat of a musical element formed by the initial sequence of notes.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2019Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: BYTEDANCE INC.Inventors: Gabriele Medeot, Srikanth Cherla, Katerina Kosta, Matt Mcvicar, Samer Abdallah, Marco Selvi, Ed Newton-Rex, Kevin Webster

Publication number: 20070115857Abstract: Tables of connectivity between nodes of two discrete types can be generated for edge nodes existing at the periphery of a network of nodes. Connectivity queries are initiated at one of an interior node type and then traverse in a first direction towards one edge node type and then in a second direction towards the other edge node type. The traversals to the second edge node type are skipped if it is determined that there is no connectivity to the nodes on the first type of edge nodes. In addition, check tables of known connectivity between node types may be populated so that the same connectivity traversal is not attempted more than once. The number of connectivity traversals and the associated time costs can be significantly reduced when compared to conventional connectivity mapping techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2005Publication date: May 24, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Kevin Webster

Publication number: 20070088810Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for mapping a storage environment. An identification module identifies a first controller defined storage unit. A test module tests for a second controller defined storage unit corresponding to the first controller defined storage unit. In one embodiment, the second controller defined storage unit is a virtualized instance of the first controller defined storage unit. In an alternate embodiment, the first controller defined storage unit is a virtualized instance of the second controller defined storage unit. A flag module flags the first controller defined storage unit if there is a second controller defined storage unit corresponding to the first controller defined storage unit. In one embodiment, a monitor module monitors the status of each unflagged defined storage unit in the storage environment. In addition, a report module may report the status of each unflagged defined storage unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2005Publication date: April 19, 2007Inventors: Michael Lamb, David Merbach, Kavita Shah, Kevin Webster

Publication number: 20060080318Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for configuring a network feature for a network fabric. The apparatus includes an input module, a discovery module, a selection module and an assignment module. The input module receives a network feature configuration for a network fabric. The discovery module determines the network feature capabilities of each of a plurality of agents coupled to the network fabric. The selection module selects a preferred agent from the plurality of agents. The assignment module assigns the preferred agent to apply the network feature configuration to the network fabric through a management interface coupling the preferred agent to the network fabric.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2004Publication date: April 13, 2006Inventors: Lisa Huston, David Merbach, Daryl Mowrer, Sunil Bharadwaj, Kevin Webster

Publication number: 20050114477Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for providing information on a network storage system. Information is received from host systems identifying storage units the host systems access through at least one identified storage system. The at least one storage system is probed to determine storage units available through the storage system and an identifier of the storage system. The information received from the host systems on storage units the host systems access and the information probed from the at least one storage system on the storage units available through the storage system are processed to determine an association of host systems to storage units for the at least one storage system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2003Publication date: May 26, 2005Inventors: Timothy Willging, Justin Bendich, Kevin Webster
