  • Publication number: 20180317267
    Abstract: An unmanned vehicle (UV) system provides network data connectivity for terminals. UV nodes in the system may transmit and receive terminal data in a network of UV nodes and other nodes according to a routing protocol. The nodes may include fixed nodes or UV nodes with a wired or wireless network connection to a destination terminal. A UV node may receive data from a source terminal for transmission to the destination terminal, and when the UV node is within range of a node in the network connected the destination terminal, the UV node transmits the received data to the node within range for forwarding to the destination terminal via the network.

  • Patent number: 10115242
    Abstract: Identifying a vehicle in a toll system includes accessing a set of toll transaction entries. Each entry in the set designates a toll transaction between a vehicle and the toll system and includes a transaction descriptor and a transaction time stamp. A series of toll transaction pictures is accessed. The series includes a plurality of pictures, each of which is associated with a picture time stamp. A toll transaction entry is identified from the set as a violation transaction entry based on the transaction descriptor. A toll transaction picture is selected from the series. The transaction time stamp of the violation transaction is compared, using a processing device, with the picture time stamp of the selected toll transaction picture. The selected toll transaction picture is identified as a violation picture corresponding to the violation transaction entry based on a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 10110425
    Abstract: The differentiated service-based graceful degradation layer (DSGDL) allows cloud-based architectures to operate through and recover from periods of limited capability. The DSGDL protects and continues serving higher priority requests with the best possible response even as the underlying cloud-based services deteriorate. The DSGDL offloads lower priority requests to lower-grade secondary capability that can be dynamically provisioned in order to reserve the best capability for maintaining high priority service (e.g., by re-directing lower priority requests to a slightly out-of-date cached dataset, and reserve the primary consistent database for higher priority requests). The DSGDL 1) implements an overlay network over existing cloud services to route and enforce priority requests, and 2) provisions on-demand computing nodes and sites to provide secondary capability for service requests as needed.

  • Patent number: 10102264
    Abstract: The distributed computing backup and recovery (DCBR) system and method provide backup and recovery for distributed computing models (e.g., NoSQL). The DCBR system extends the protections from server node-level failure and introduces persistence in time so that the evolving data set may be stored and recovered to a past point in time. The DCBR system, instead of performing backup and recovery for an entire dataset, may be configured to apply to a subset of data. Instead of keeping or recovering snapshots of the entire dataset which requires the entire cluster, the DCBR system identifies the particular nodes and/or archive files where the dataset resides so that backup or recovery may be done with a much smaller number of nodes.

  • Patent number: 10102281
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, are described that enable clustering and evaluation of data. A data set is identified for which to evaluate cluster solutions, the data set including a plurality of records each including a plurality of attributes. Different attributes are identified, including target driver attributes, cluster candidate attributes, and profile attributes. One or more clustering algorithms are identified and applied to the data set to generate cluster solutions. Each cluster solution groups records in the data set into different clusters based on the cluster candidate attributes. A score is calculated for each cluster solution based at least on the target driver attributes, the cluster candidate attributes, and the profile attributes. A user interface is generated for presentation to a user showing the generated cluster solution organized according to the calculated score for each cluster solution.
