Abstract: An automatic parking system includes an infrastructure sensor that is able to detect a state of a parking lot. A blind spot area that does not allow the state of the parking lot to be detected by the infrastructure sensor is identified in the parking lot, and the state of the parking including the blind spot area, the state of the parking lot being detected by an on-board sensor of a vehicle in the parking lot, is acquired. Based on the state of the parking lot detected by the infrastructure sensor and the state of the parking lot that includes the blind spot area and that is detected by the on-board sensor of the vehicle in the parking lot, a travel route for the vehicle traveling in the parking lot is generated.

Abstract: Information related to apparently successful matches between two entities is collected, and culled based on a later indication that the match failed. Matches between two entities may be generated based on comparative information with other entities who appear to share some characteristics or preferences. Matches may be based on actual actions, in contrast to expressed preferences. Actual actions may be taken into account in addition to expressed preferences. Generation of matches may take into account geographical and/or temporal proximity and/or likelihood of receiving a response, in addition to other attributes of an entity. Matching algorithms may be updated based on entity input. Potential matches may be presented to third party entities for evaluation.

Abstract: Systems and methods of a memory allocation buffer to reduce heap fragmentation. In one embodiment, the memory allocation buffer structures a memory arena dedicated to a target region that is one of a plurality of regions in a server in a database cluster such as an HBase cluster. The memory area has a chunk size (e.g., 2 MB) and an offset pointer. Data objects in write requests targeted to the region are received and inserted to the memory arena at a location specified by the offset pointer. When the memory arena is filled, a new one is allocated. When a MemStore of the target region is flushed, the entire memory arenas for the target region are freed up. This reduces heap fragmentation that is responsible for long and/or frequent garbage collection pauses.
