  • Patent number: 9128970
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for supporting and/or executing count-distinct queries. A large set of data (e.g., tens or hundreds of millions of event records) is condensed daily to generate presence bitmaps to reflect the distinctiveness of a selected data dimension S (e.g., user ID) for one or more key dimensions g1, g2, . . . (e.g., advertisement ID, campaign ID, advertiser ID). The condensation process eliminates duplication and yields a single value (e.g., 1 or 0) for each tuple [S, g1, . . . ] to represent the distinctiveness of each value in the S dimension to each combination of values in the grouping dimensions. On a monthly basis, the daily values are condensed to yield a single value for the month, and a similar process is applied on any other desired time granularities (e.g., year). The condensed data may be generated for any combination of selected dimension(s) and grouping dimension(s).

  • Patent number: 9116681
    Abstract: A workflow schedule authoring tool enables a user to author a workflow by arranging building blocks in a particular order. Building blocks may correspond to events, conditions or actions. Each building block is associated with source code that defines an action to be taken when the building block is processed. The order of the building blocks determines the workflow schedule process. The building blocks allow a user to establish logic conditions for how the tasks in the workflow schedule are executed. A building block may require a user to input parameters before the building block may be executed. The workflow schedule is associated with an event such that the workflow schedule triggers when the event occurs. The building blocks simplify workflow schedule authoring because the user does not need to write any code.

  • Patent number: 9047322
    Abstract: Techniques for automatically adding a database device to a network of database devices include sending a first request from the database device in response to detecting that the database device is connected to the network. In response, the database device receives data that identifies a database device-management server. The database device sends a second request to the database device-management server. The second request identifies the database device and requests that the device-management server register the database device in response to the second request. The new database device may be a database appliance having a database process and a special purpose operating system tailored to the database process. With these techniques, a new database device can be plugged into a network and automatically discovered, registered, and assigned management tasks without human intervention. This alleviates the load on human operators and makes adding database device to a network more reliable and simple.

  • Patent number: 9026989
    Abstract: An object oriented application framework is provided in which base classes are decoupled from derived classes by using attributes. Relationships between derived classes and attributes can be generated, and derive classes can be statically or dynamically instantiated at run time. By decoupling the base class from derived classes using instances of such attributes, a developer does not modify computer program code defining the base class when adding customized extensions to that base class. The framework includes a class factory that uses instances of attributes associated with elements to derive, at run time, extension classes. The attributes can be specified at run time to specify or to alter the run time behavior of the application. This framework also allows the application to conditionally instantiate an element based on its attributes.

  • Patent number: 9026986
    Abstract: A process for creation of an equipment health monitoring (EHM) tool, including defining functional requirements for a proposed EHM tool in a structured hierarchical format. The functional requirements definition is used to generate an outline model for a plurality of functions of the proposed EHM tool according to a model template, wherein the outline model is captured as one or more graphical representations. Each graphical representation includes at least one component representative of a defined EHM functional requirement. Source code for the proposed EHM tool is automatically generated based upon the graphically represented model and then compiled to create a deployable EHM tool from the source code by applying a compilation strategy dependent on an intended mode of operation for said EHM tool. An EHM generation tool and associated data carrier are also recited.

  • Patent number: 9021422
    Abstract: A method and system for processing instruction information. Each instruction information character string of a sequence of instruction information character strings are sequentially extracted and processed. Each instruction information character string pertains to an associated target object wrapped in a target object storage unit by an associated operation target model. It is independently ascertained for each instruction information character string whether to generate a code line for each instruction information character string, by: determining whether a requirement is satisfied and generating the code line and storing the code line in a code buffer if the requirement has been determined to be satisfied and not generating the code line if the requirement has been determined to not be satisfied. The requirement relates to whether the instruction information character string being processed comprises a naming instruction or a generation instruction.

  • Patent number: 9021421
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques to provide read and write barriers for flexible and efficient garbage collection. A memory heap is split into pages. Each page is aligned to an address that is a multiple of a particular power of two. When generating read and write operations, code is generated to execute the write barrier or the read barrier. At this point, the page alignment for each pointer is known; for example, if the page alignment is the same for all pointers in the system. With this page structure, it is possible to find the page start by masking the address of any heap allocated object on the page with a mask based on the page alignment (bitwise-and operation). A plurality of flags are established on a page. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
