  • Patent number: 11455308
    Abstract: Described herein includes a calculation scenario of a calculation engine that efficiently partitions data for processing at separate hosts, including in parallel, and unions intermediate results from such separate processing when required for further processing. Such parallel processing of partitions can allow for faster processing times, and such unioning of data only when required for further processing can limit the transferring of data that results in slower processing.

  • Publication number: 20220300469
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for remote code execution between computing environments having various dissimilarities. Client requests at a source environment lead to calls of various types lacking immediate support within the source environment. Calls are delegated to the target environment, where function schemas, data schemas, or copies of source-side schemas are variously used to reconcile called source-side entities with their target-side counterparts. Inconsistencies between name and data representations and datatypes are also addressed. Serially communicated (JSON) parameters are resolved into required target-side multi-level parameter structures, and vice versa. Expedited bulk data access to/from a database layer is supported. A use case is described for phased migration of a software application. Generic and extensible remote code execution allows rapid migration, adaptation, or deployment of software applications across diverse computing environments.

  • Patent number: 11449198
    Abstract: A visual depiction of a hierarchy stored at a server computer can be presented at a client computer that interacts with the server computer as operations are performed on the hierarchy. Efficient execution of operations and determination of which nodes are visible within the hierarchy can be supported without sending the entire hierarchy back and forth between the client and the server. Drill state in the user interface can be preserved during operations. The server can support multiple clients interacting with the hierarchy at the same time.

  • Patent number: 11449624
    Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to performing privacy-preserving analytics over sensitive data without sharing plaintext data and without requiring a trusted third party. Implementations provide for utilizing a trusted execution environment within a server to compute the privacy-preserving result. Data owners via user devices send their encrypted data directly to an enclave managed by a trusted execution environment, without the server and the cloud service provider for the server seeing the plaintext data. The enclave computes the analytics directly on the data and releases the privacy-preserving result that can be ensured by code analysis and remote attestation from all parties.

  • Patent number: 11449493
    Abstract: Constraint association, constraint persistence, and constraint execution is provided herein. Constraints can be associated with one or more cells in a datacube. The constraints can be stored or persisted with the datacube or in association with the datacube. The constraints can include rules, limitations, or functions determining the set or scope of possible values for the associated cells. The constraints can be applied to the cells when first associated, or when a constraint trigger is received or performed, such as a change to the value of an associated cell. Constraint execution can cascade to additional cells not directly associated with the constraint, and can invoke additional constraints in the cascade. Constraints can include configured constraints, associated to cells by a user via a constraints menu. Constraints can include data model constraints based on a data model for the datacube. Constraints can include default constraints applied during constraint execution.

  • Patent number: 11449529
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for determining, evaluating, and selecting data retrieval pathways. A plurality of database objects, such as tables, can be retrieved, and relationships between them determined. The relationships are between various attributes of the database objects. A plurality of pathways are determined between at least two target database objects, where the path determination does not consider attribute-level relationship information. After a path is determined, the relationship-level information can be added. A summary of the path, and relationship information, can be displayed to a user. A user can select paths to remove from the display, and can indicate one or more database objects that are required for a valid path, one or more database objects that are prohibited from valid paths, or combinations thereof. A user can select a path, and a query language statement to implement the path can be generated and displayed to the user.

  • Patent number: 11449639
    Abstract: Machine learning model data privacy can be maintained by training a machine learning model forming part of a data science process using data anonymized using each of two or more differential privacy mechanisms. Thereafter, it is determined, for each of the two or more differential privacy mechanisms, a level of accuracy and a level precision when evaluating data with known classifications. Subsequently, using the respective determined levels of precision and accuracy, a mitigation efficiency ratio is determined for each of the two or more differential privacy mechanisms. The differential privacy mechanism having a highest mitigation efficiency ratio is then incorporated into the data science process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 11449688
    Abstract: An engine interposed between an application translator and UI intercepts string templates populated with string variables and output by the translator. The engine determines translation-resistance of the string template. Such determination can be based upon an existing mark inserted by the translator, a number of string variables in the string template, a comment in the string template, user settings, or syntax rules. Frequently, translation-resistance of the string template is not indicated and the engine simply forwards on the string template to the user. Less frequently, the engine determines the string template to be resistant to translation. Then, the engine causes the string template to be processed according to a prefix and a suffix inserted thereto. The processing can comprise forwarding the string template for machine translation, and/or falling back to a simpler string variant. The modified content resulting from the processing is communicated by the engine to the user.

  • Publication number: 20220292099
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for implementing virtual table schemas. A virtual table schema includes a logical pointer that is used to target a table that includes data and is defined according to the virtual table schema. Values assigned to the logical pointer can be used to target tables at different locations, such as in-memory storage or in dynamic storage of a database management system. The dynamic storage includes an in-memory buffer cache and persistent storage. The logical pointer can be updated to point to the in-memory storage or the dynamic storage, including based on use statistics. Similarly, a table having data for the virtual table can be transitioned between the in-memory buffer cache and the persistent storage, including based on use statistics for the virtual table. A value for the logical pointer can be updated when the table is transferred between the in-memory buffer cache and the dynamic storage.

  • Patent number: 11443076
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for digitally customizing a product. An embodiment operates by the system generating a three-dimensional model of a portion of a body comprising a custom segment. The system then correlates the custom segment of the three-dimensional body to a corresponding segment of a three-dimensional model of the product using a correlation model unique to the product. The corresponding segment of the three-dimensional model of the product corresponding to a product metric for manufacturing the product. Subsequently, the system determines a difference between the custom segment of the three-dimensional model of the portion of the body and the corresponding segment of the three-dimensional model of the product is. Based on the difference, the system determines an adjusted metric for manufacturing the product. Subsequently, based on the adjusted product metric, the system updates the correlation model unique to the product.
