Abstract: A method, system, and computer usable program product for energy conservation in multipath data communications are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A current utilization of each of several of I/O devices is determined. A violation determination is made whether an I/O device from the several I/O devices can be powered down without violating a rule. The I/O device is powered down responsive to the violation determination being false. A powering up determination may be made whether an additional I/O device is needed in a multipath I/O configuration. The I/O device may be located, powered up, and made available for multipath I/O configuration. A latency determination may be made whether a latency time of the I/O device can elapse before the time when the additional I/O device is needed. The powering on may occur no later than the latency time before the time the additional I/O device is needed.

In an information processor for information retrieval, proceeding work detecting means detects a work in progress as a proceeding work based on the captured graphics processing command, and information acquiring means searches a database for the information about the work in progress which has been done before based on the graphics processing command concerning the proceeding work and acquires the information about the work in progress which has been done before.

Abstract: A dynamic Bloom filter comprises a cascaded set of Bloom filters. The system estimates or guesses a cardinality of input items, selects a number of hash functions based on the desired false positive rate, and allocates memory for an initial Bloom filter based on the estimated cardinality and desired false positive rate. The system inserts items into the initial Bloom filter and counts the bits set as they are inserted. If the number of bits set in the current Bloom filter reaches a predetermined target, the system declares the current Bloom filter full. The system recursively generates additional Bloom filters as needed for items remaining after the initial Bloom filter is filled; items are checked to eliminate duplicates. Each of the set of Bloom filters is individually queried to identify a positive or negative in response to a query.

Abstract: A pattern-based data matching system matches pattern-based data. The data matching system generates a regular expression pattern for input datasets and describes similarity measures between the generated patterns. The data matching system analyzes an input dataset in terms of symbol classes, generalizing input values into a general pattern to allow identification or extrapolation of overlap between input datasets, aiding in matching fields in databases that are being merged and in learning a pattern for an input dataset. For each sequence of data values, the present system computes a compact pattern describing the sequence. Embodiments of the data matching system comprise noise reduction and repetitive pattern discovery in the input dataset and calculation of recall and precision of the generated pattern.

Abstract: A fold may be made in a conventional box which reduces the amount of packaging material necessary to secure an item in the box. Rear projection televisions may have a thick base and a thin top. Therefore, rectangular boxes may have much space at the top from the front of the box to the back of the box, in particular, when the television is in the carton, there may be substantial space between the back of the top of the television to the back panel of the carton. Typically, packaging material is placed in this space. By placing a fold in the carton along the portion of the box where this packaging material may conventionally extend, the amount of packaging material may be reduced by abutting the packaging material to the fold in the carton instead of the back panel of the carton.
