  • Patent number: 11016830
    Abstract: Entity-based service operation upon object-based persistence, is efficiently accomplished utilizing mapping between entities and stored objects. An engine within the persistence layer receives a service call referencing an interface entity. The engine determines a context of a core object in the persistence layer. Based upon the context, the engine constructs from the core object, a prepared object including an entity node. A path between the entity node and a root node of the prepared object may comprise context, or may be derived from only partially reading the core object to construct the prepared object. The engine enriches the entity node with entity data from the service call, to generate an applied object. Referencing the applied object as a parameter, the engine executes the service call on the core object. The engine maps the core object to a result object returned to the interface layer in response to the service call.

  • Publication number: 20210149901
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for building a library of custom named entities for a database environment and using the library for processing natural language search queries. At configuration time, custom named entities are extracted or derived from a search model or the database environment. Records for the custom entities with associated database unique identifiers and tags are stored in a library. Custom entities can be based on labels of database objects, variants thereof, or domain values. At search time, a natural language query is tokenized and matched with custom entities from the library, and with other predefined named entities, to obtained structured search descriptors. For more efficient search, compound entities can be identified in the search string, comprising a custom entity and a value, or a custom entity and another token sequence. Variations and examples are disclosed.

    Abstract: Data transformation and access generation for data sets is provided herein. Access generation for a data set can include generating one or more new access modes for the data set. An access mode can include a transformed data set and one or more search definitions or a search model for the transformed data set. Transforming the data set can include transforming a linear data set to a relational data set by determining structural information for the linear data, generating a relational schema based on the structural information, and loading data from the linear data set into the generated relational data structure. Transforming the data set can include sanitizing the data, restructuring the relational data set based on functional dependencies, and reformatting the data set. One or more search definitions can be generated for the relational data. A search model can be generated based on the search definitions.

  • Patent number: 11012465
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method generates a trigger registration for a selected triggering type. The generated trigger registration is stored in a triggering persistency. A received event from an event persistency is analyzed and data associated with the analyzed event is compared with the triggering persistency. Based on the comparison and using a pattern execution framework, an enterprise threat detection (ETD) pattern is processed to perform actions responsive to the received event.

  • Patent number: 11010363
    Abstract: An allocation of tables across a distributed database provides for taking into account existing table groups while also obtaining newly calculated table groups by complementing the existing table groups with regards to the results of the new allocation. Maintaining and protecting one or more types of existing table groups allows for the existing table groups to not be overwritten during allocation of the tables. An identification of tables is used, as well as a determination related to connections between the existing table groups and the newly calculated table groups.

  • Patent number: 11010415
    Abstract: The subject matter described herein relates to implementation of a dictionary in a column-based, in-memory database where values are not stored directly, rather, for each column, a dictionary is created with all distinct values. For each row, a reference to the corresponding value in the dictionary is stored. In one aspect, data is stored in a memory structure organized in a column store format defined by a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows. A dictionary for each column in the memory structure is generated. The dictionary has distinct values for each column. A reference to the dictionary is generated for each column in the memory structure. The dictionary and the reference to the dictionary are stored in the memory structure.

  • Patent number: 11010218
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, methods and systems may be associated with a consuming cluster where custom dependencies are exposed (e.g., a Kubernetes cluster deploying a workload) and an external service application programming interface where the custom dependencies are mapped. A dependency controller platform may be located between the consuming cluster and the external service application programming interface. Moreover, a computer processor of the dependency controller platform may receive information about an exposed consuming cluster custom dependency. The dependent controller platform may then map the received information to the appropriate external service application programming interface to declaratively streamline dependency consumption.

  • Patent number: 11010140
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for integrating a workflow with logical data objects (LDOs), which expose their own external access methods and hide underlying data items. An interactive workflow specification can be authored by visual programming, and the workflow can be performed at a workstation via a graphical user interface. The visually-programmed specification can be automatically converted to markup language statements invoking ABAP calls to the LDOs' access methods. Underlying organization of LDO data can be transparent to reads and writes of the LDO data during workflow performance. Other aspects are described, including configuration of the authoring interface, launching the workflow, and text analytics.

  • Patent number: 11010222
    Abstract: Techniques for predicting failure mode specific reliability characteristics of tangible equipment using parametric probability models are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a computer system receives a model training configuration entered via a user interface, trains a failure curve model for a selected failure mode of a selected equipment model based on the model training configuration at a time indicated by training schedule data, generating, and generates analytical data for the selected failure mode of the selected equipment model using the trained failure curve model. The failure mode corresponds to a specific way in which the equipment model is capable of failing. In some example embodiments, the training of the failure curve model comprises determining a shape parameter and a scale parameter for the failure curve model based on a fitting of failure event data to a continuous probability distribution, and storing the parameters for use in generating the analytical data.

  • Publication number: 20210142109
    Abstract: Technologies are described for the automated determination of materials. For example, material can be automatically identified (e.g., unique material numbers can be determined) based on sensor data and using machine learning models. In some implementations, as part of a first phase, a first set of sensor information describing the material is obtained. Using the first set of sensor information, a material class of the material is determined. As part of a second phase, a second set of sensor information describing the material is obtained. Using the second set of sensor information, the specific material is identified (e.g., a unique material identifier is determined for the material).
