Patent number: 11934027Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: TDK TAIWAN CORP.Inventors: Chao-Chang Hu, Chih-Wei Weng, Chia-Che Wu, Chien-Yu Kao, Hsiao-Hsin Hu, He-Ling Chang, Chao-Hsi Wang, Chen-Hsien Fan, Che-Wei Chang, Mao-Gen Jian, Sung-Mao Tsai, Wei-Jhe Shen, Yung-Ping Yang, Sin-Hong Lin, Tzu-Yu Chang, Sin-Jhong Song, Shang-Yu Hsu, Meng-Ting Lin, Shih-Wei Hung, Yu-Huai Liao, Mao-Kuo Hsu, Hsueh-Ju Lu, Ching-Chieh Huang, Chih-Wen Chiang, Yu-Chiao Lo, Ying-Jen Wang, Shu-Shan Chen, Che-Hsiang Chiu

Patent number: 11080281Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for graph-based searching for one or more data streams is disclosed. A computer-implemented method comprises extracting a plurality of tuples from one or more data streams. The method further comprises generating a graph for the plurality of tuples in which a node represents a tuple of the plurality of tuples and an edge represents a correlation between the node and another node, and the edge is generated based at least partly on one or more predetermined queries for the one or more data streams. The method further comprises traversing the graph based on the one or more predetermined queries. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the search speed by use of the graph-based searching for one or more data streams.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Xiao Xing Liang, Cheng Luo, Wayne B.

Patent number: 11063815Abstract: Provided are techniques for building and fixing a dynamic application topology. Log files are received from multiple sources comprising any of services and nodes. Information is extracted from the log files. An application topology is created for a particular point in time for an application that provides hierarchical relationships of components for executing the application using the extracted information. One or more problems in the application topology are identified. A solution is applied to each of the one or more problems.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shaw-Ben S.

Publication number: 20190286633Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a data stream and dividing the data stream into one or more data artefacts for one or more time intervals. The computer-implemented method further includes generating one or more contexts. Each of the one or more contexts are for at least one of the one or more time intervals. The computer-implemented method further includes storing each of the one or more data artefacts in shared storage. The shared storage is accessible for each of the one or more contexts. The computer-implemented method further includes, for each context of the one or more contexts: determining a dependency for the context; monitoring the context for a completion of said dependency; and responsive to the completion, releasing the dependency. The computer-implemented further includes removing those of the one or more data artefacts that do not belong to the dependency for any of the one or more contexts.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2019Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventors: Lei He, Yang Liu, Cheng Luo, Shaw-Ben Shi, Meng Hong Tsai, Xi Ning Wang, Shun Xiang Yang
