Publication number: 20240220461Abstract: A journaling file system may implement remote durable logging. Updates to a file system may be received, and log records describing the updates may be stored in a locally-accessible file system change log. The update may then be acknowledged as committed. The log records may then be sent to be stored in a network-based data store in a remote version of the file system change log. Once it may be determined that the log records are stored in the remote version, storage space for the log records in the local file system change log may be reclaimed. Various types of restoration and duplication techniques may be implemented based on the remote version of the change log to restore a file system at an originating device or to duplicate the file system at a different device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: July 4, 2024Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James Edward Kinney, JR., Khawaja Salman Shams

Patent number: 12026199Abstract: Pages describing episodes of podcasts or other media entities are constructed by interpreting content of the media entities. A transcript of an episode is determined by one or more natural language understanding techniques and divided into chapters. For each of the chapters, a summary sentence of the chapter and one or more key phrases are determined from the transcript, and participants in the chapter are identified. A summary of the episode is determined from the summary sentences of each of the chapters. A page that describes the episode of the podcast including the summary of the episode, as well as one or more of the key phrases and identities of the participants is generated and provided to prospective listeners to the episode.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian Garcia Siagian, Vedant Ulhas Shete, Timothy William Stephani, Jobel Kyle Petallana Vecino, Gordon Zheng

Patent number: 12026635Abstract: Described is a system and method for proactively determining and resolving events having low confidence scores and/or resolving disputed events. For example, when an event, such as a pick of an item from an inventory location within a materials handling facility occurs, the event aspects (e.g., user involved in the event, item involved in the event, action performed) are determined based on information provided from one or more input components (e.g., camera, weight sensor). If each event aspect cannot be determined with a high degree of confidence, the event information is provided to an associate for resolution.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wyatt David Camp, Dilip Kumar, Amber Autrey Taylor, Jason Michael Famularo, Thomas Meilandt Mathiesen, Jared Joseph Frank

Patent number: 12028268Abstract: Techniques implemented by a cloud computing system for providing fallback capacity providers to ensure that infrastructure capacity required to run containerized services is available despite primary capacity providers experiencing a failure. Cloud providers offer container-management services that automate the management and scaling of containerized services of users. The container-management services are supported by capacity providers that manage the computing infrastructure on which the containerized services run (e.g., servers, VMs, etc.). However, there are times when a capacity provider is unable to provision capacity for containerized services, such as due to a large scale failure. Rather than leaving capacity requests unserved, the container-management service designates a fallback capacity provider that acts as a failover for provisioning requested infrastructure capacity.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Malcolm Featonby, Derek J Petersen, Abhishek Nautiyal, Li chieh Young

Patent number: 12026203Abstract: Techniques for aligning (merging) knowledge graphs is described. Graph entity alignment is the problem of “joining” two knowledge graphs based on common entities. Most approaches in literature solve this using some annotated seed entity pairs and train a supervised model to rank entities in one knowledge base against another. In some examples, unsupervised alignment approach that uses graph-to-text summaries to encode entities in two or more distinct graphs into the same representation space, encodes those summaries into a common space, and then uses similarity analysis to determine when graph entities should be aligned (merged).Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rishita Rajal Anubhai, V.

Patent number: 12026585Abstract: A tensor network decoder accounts for correlated noise between qubits of a two-dimensional code. The tensor network decoder is generated using a graphical noise model for a quantum device that is used (or to be used) to implement the two-dimensional code. For example, an input graphical noise model, such as a hypergraph, may be used to generate a tensor network decoder. Whereas other decoders assume noise is independent and identically distributed (e.g. iid noise), a tensor network decoder accounts for correlated noise not considered in such decoders that assume iid noise.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2021Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Aleksander Marek Kubica

Patent number: 12028549Abstract: Methods of video streaming are generally described. In some examples, a camera device periodically captures an image, communicates encoded frame data representing that image to a server, and decodes and stores the previously encoded frame data as a background picture. The server receives the encoded frame data, decodes it, and stores the decoded frame in a buffer for future use. Subsequently, upon initiation of a streaming session, the camera device captures another image and encodes a predicted key frame based on differences between the captured image and the background picture. The camera device sends the predicted key frame to the server, which receives it and reconstructs a facsimile of the captured image utilizing the previously decoded frame stored in the buffer. Methods of acknowledging successfully decoded frames for use in selecting background pictures is also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Qi Keith Wang, Ramin Ghorashi, Stephen John Bannister, Ilya Brailovskiy

Patent number: 12028461Abstract: A request to add tags (e.g., labels, key-value pairs, or metadata) to resources can be digitally signed by the entity making the request, such that the source can be verified and an authorization determination made for each tag. For a request involving multiple services (or entities) that can each add tags, any tag added by a service can be included in the request and digitally signed by that service. Each service processing the request can also digitally sign the request before forwarding, so that each service signs a version of the request, which includes elements signed by other services earlier in the request chain. When the request is received to a tagging service, the service ensures that every tag was digitally signed by the appropriate authorized entity or service, and validates the signatures to ensure that no data was modified or omitted, before adding the tags to the designated resource(s).Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2023Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William Frederick Hingle Kruse, Conor Patrick Cahill, Jeffrey Cicero Canton, Dmitry Frenkel, Harshad Vasant Kulkarni, Colin Watson, Andrew Paul Mikulski

Patent number: 12026718Abstract: Anomalies can be detected and related mitigation actions can be executed. For example, a computing device receives, from a first source, first data associated with a first process of a payment service in support of transactions of a first plurality of users. The computing device generates first aggregated metrics based on the first data. The computing device determines, by using the first aggregated metrics as first input to a machine learning engine, an anomaly associated with the execution of the first process. The computing device determines, based on the anomaly and a history of anomalies associated with the execution of the first process, an indication of an outage associated with the first process. The computing device causes an execution of a mitigation action based on the indication of the outage. The execution of the mitigation action is in support of transactions of a second plurality of users.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ragheb Rahmaniani, Kalpit Deewan, Subhas Chandra Dey, Shubhankar Ajit Kothari
