  • Patent number: 9495423
    Abstract: Query requests for RDF triples are obtained, wherein the query request(s) contain(s) at least one triple pattern; for each triple pattern, the corresponding elementary pattern is determined, and each triple pattern is converted to a weighted elementary pattern. The occurrence frequency of each elementary pattern is computed based on the weighted elementary patterns; at least one elementary pattern is chosen at least according to the occurrence frequency; and the RDF triples corresponding to the chosen at least elementary pattern are prefetched into the buffer. The corresponding apparatus is also provided. With the above method and apparatus, the frequently accessed RDF triples can be determined and prefetched into the buffer, which improves the query efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9472098
    Abstract: A travel reporter system is used to report abnormal travel events. In use, a sensor mounted on a vehicle obtains real-time data about an object near the vehicle. The object has an object type which is identified by processing the real-time data with an object recognition subsystem of the travel reporter system. An event evaluation subsystem of the travel reporter system processes the real-time data and the object type in order to determine that the object is associated with an abnormal travel event. The abnormal travel event has an event type which is processed by an event notification subsystem of the travel reporter system in order to select a first information consumer type. The event notification subsystem reports the abnormal travel event to information consumers having the first information consumer type.

  • Patent number: 9210549
    Abstract: A mobile unit in a housing facility for mobile units may be tracked by activating a first reading device at a first location of the housing facility upon detecting a first mobile unit arriving at or departing from the first location, wherein the first mobile unit has a first tag having an identification code (ID) readable by the first reading device. A set of readings may be performed by the first reading device to read a set of tag IDs during a time interval. Upon an ending of the time interval, tag IDs, in the set of tag IDs, that correspond to the first tag ID are identified based on the set of readings. A record is updated to associate the first tag ID with the first location.

  • Patent number: 8848363
    Abstract: A heat dissipation system includes a computer case having a base plate and a back plate perpendicularly to the base plate, a motherboard on the base plate adjacent to the back plate, and a mass storage device beside the motherboard. The motherboard has a heat sink and a first fan on the heat sink. The base plate has a second fan beside the motherboard. The second fan is adjacent to the back plate. The mass storage device is away from the back plate. The first fan rotates in such a manner that airflow is drawn into the computer case, flows through the heat sink and is exhausted out of the computer case. The second fan rotates in such a manner that airflow is drawn into the computer case, flows through the mass storage device and is exhausted out of the computer case.

  • Patent number: 8768953
    Abstract: A dependency graph of rule predicates without strongly connected sub-graph is obtained. The dependency graph indicates the dependency among the rule predicates. An update frequency of node in the dependency graph is calculated, and a query frequency of node in the dependency graph is also calculated. Furthermore, a runtime query cost value and a materialization cost value of the node are calculated based on the query frequency and update frequency. Node to be materialized are determined based on the runtime query cost value and the materialization cost value. A rule predicate corresponding to the node to be materialized is the rule predicate to be materialized. In at least some instances, an exemplary technical effect is that the return time of result of runtime query is saved and the affect by the data update is reduced when a query is performed in relation data reasoning system constructed with rule predicates.
