  • Patent number: 10535153
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are provided for generating an interactive space. One method includes operations for associating a first device to a reference point in 3D space, and for calculating by the first device a position of the first device in the 3D space based on inertial information captured by the first device and utilizing dead reckoning. Further, the method includes operations for capturing images with a camera of the first device, and for identifying locations of one or more static features in the images. The position of the first device is corrected based on the identified locations of the one or more static features, and a view of an interactive scene is presented in a display of the first device, where the interactive scene is tied to the reference point and includes virtual objects.

  • Patent number: 10534671
    Abstract: A method for managing container images in a container hosting environment, comprising a set of machine nodes for hosting container images, comprises the following steps. At a machine node of the set of machine nodes, at least one image layer of a container image comprising multiple image layers is identified for compaction. The identified image layer is compacted by merging data of the identified layer with data of another image layer of the container image. The data of the compacted image layer is transmitted to a backup store remote from the machine node for storage. The set of machine nodes and the backup store are implemented via processing devices operatively coupled via a communication network to form the container hosting environment. The compacted image layer may then be recovered from the backup store.

  • Patent number: 10534770
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to parallelizing structured query language (SQL) on distributed file systems. In example embodiments, a subquery of a distributed file system is received from a query engine, where the subquery is one of multiple subqueries that are scheduled to execute on a cluster of server nodes. At this stage, a user defined function that comprises local, role-based functionality is executed, where the partitioned magic table triggers parallel execution of the user defined function. The execution of the UDF determines a sequence number based on a quantity of the cluster of server nodes and retrieve nonconsecutive chunks from a file of the distributed file system, where each of the nonconsecutive chunks is offset by the sequence number.

  • Patent number: 10534925
    Abstract: Controlling device security includes obtaining a set of device activity data indicating current device activity on a device and a set of user activity data indicating a current activity state of one or more legitimate users of the device. It is determined whether the indicated current activity state of the users indicates that a legitimate user is in an active state on the device, or that none of the legitimate users is in an active state on the device. A statistical fit of the indicated current device activity on the device, with the indicated current activity state of the one or more legitimate users, is determined, by a comparison with at least one of the models that are generated via supervised learning. A security alert action may be initiated, based on a result of the determination of the statistical fit indicating a compromised state of the device.

  • Patent number: 10532755
    Abstract: A control system and method determine an energy demand associated with delivery of cargo in a trip. The energy demand represents how much electric energy is needed to move cargo vehicles that carry the cargo through the trip. Locations of energy tenders and states of charge of the energy tenders are determined. A schedule for the cargo vehicles to deliver the cargo to a delivery location within a delivery time slot is determined. This schedule is determined based on the energy demand, the locations of the energy tenders, and the states of charge of the energy tenders. The system and method direct which of the energy tenders that the cargo vehicles are to couple with, be powered by, and move with for powering the cargo along routes to the delivery location of the trip within the designated time slot.

  • Patent number: 10534817
    Abstract: Configurations for sharing an instance of an executing process for a plug-in based on a session and a cookie data store associated with the session are disclosed. A cookie data store can be associated with a tab running in a corresponding security mode. By way of example, instead of initiating a new process for the plug-in in a new tab, the subject technology can first determine whether a previous tab is running an instance of a plug-in process. If this is the case, the subject technology can then determine whether the previous tab is running in the same security mode (e.g., protected or unprotected) as the new tab. The subject technology then shares the existing plug-in process in the previous tab without instantiating a new plug-in process in the new tab.

  • Patent number: 10534858
    Abstract: Document version discoverability and persistence are provided. A version history of a document includes snapshots of the document as it is created and edited over time. When a version history for a document is invoked, a list of the previous versions of the document is generated for display. Certain versions may be more important to a user. Upon selection of a version, an option to append identification metadata to the selected version is displayed. Received text input is appended to the version of interest, and stored as identification metadata. When a user subsequently selects to view the version history of the document, the identification metadata are displayed with the version of interest, enabling the user to quickly and easily identify the version of interest. Additionally, the version of interest is prioritized, ensuring that it is persisted and not purged when older versions are removed from storage.
