Abstract: Systems and methods for stream-based compression include an encoder of a first device that may receive an input stream of bytes including a first byte preceded by one or more second bytes. The encoder may determine to identify a prefix code for the first byte. The encoder may select a prefix code table using the one or more second bytes. The encoder may identify, from the selected prefix code table, the prefix code of the first byte. The encoder may generate an output stream of bytes by replacing the first byte in the input stream with the prefix code of the first byte. The encoder may transmit the output stream from the encoder of the first device to a decoder of a second device. The output stream may have a fewer number of bits than the input stream.

Abstract: The data storage system according to certain aspects can implement table level database restore. Table level database restore may refer to restoring a database table and its related data without restoring the entire database. The data storage system may use table metadata index to implement table level restore. A table metadata index may be created for each table, e.g., during a backup of the database. The table metadata index for a table can include any type of information for restoring the table and its related data. Some examples of the type of information included in the table metadata index include the following: container for the table, table backup location, system data, table index, table relationships, etc. Table metadata index can make the restoring of tables fast and efficient by packaging information that can be used to restore a table and its related data in an easily accessible manner.

Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques hierarchical address virtualization within a memory controller and configurable block device allocation. By performing address translation only at select hierarchical levels, a memory controller can be designed to have predictable I/O latency, with brief or otherwise negligible logical-to-physical address translation time. In one embodiment, address transition may be implemented entirely with logical gates and look-up tables of a memory controller integrated circuit, without requiring processor cycles. The disclosed virtualization scheme also provides for flexibility in customizing the configuration of virtual storage devices, to present nearly any desired configuration to a host or client.

Abstract: An advertisement management system receives a commercial break schedule generated from a completed assignment of one or more spots, which correspond to deals including advertiser orders to place the one or more spots into one or more commercial breaks in the commercial break schedule based on constraints and placement requirements. The system determines which of one or more orders in one or more deals are targeting orders, and determine a baseline target delivery for the targeting orders based on expected viewership associated with the targeting orders. The system places a portion of the one or more spots for the targeting orders based on a lift goal over the baseline target delivery, determines a liability per pending spot for spots determined to be candidates for advertisement scheduling and reshuffles placement of a remaining portion of the one or more spots based on the liability per pending spot for the candidates.
