  • Patent number: 10997146
    Abstract: An in-memory database server hosting a tenant of a multi-tenant software architecture can receive a definition of a custom data field that is unique to an organization having isolated access to the tenant. The custom data field can extend a standard table defined by central metadata stored at a system tenant of the multi-tenant software architecture. Tenant private metadata that includes the definition can be stored in memory accessible only to the tenant. A tenant-dependent table that includes the custom data field can be formed, for example by retrieving central metadata defining the standard table from the system tenant and adding the custom data field using the definition. The tenant-dependent table can be presented for access via a database client at the organization. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10997143
    Abstract: A correlithm object processing system includes a memory that stores a first string correlithm object comprising a first plurality of sub-string correlithm objects, and a second string correlithm object comprising a second plurality of sub-string correlithm objects. A string correlithm object engine communicatively coupled to the memory determines the anti-Hamming distances between each of the sub-string correlithm objects of the first string correlithm object pairwise with each corresponding sub-string correlithm object of the second string correlithm object, and stores the determined anti-Hamming distances in a distance table. The engine identifies a group of neighboring anti-Hamming distances stored in the distance table that are greater than a predetermined number of standard deviations beyond a standard distance and, in response, determines the corresponding sub-string correlithm objects of the first and second string correlithm objects to be a match.

  • Patent number: 10984059
    Abstract: A method for data retrieval is described. Interface circuitry of an information processing apparatus receives a request for data retrieval from a database. The database stores content sharing information in a social network. The request includes a first user identifier and a first link identifier. The processing circuitry determines whether the first user identifier and the first link identifier are associated in the database as a consequence of a previous sharing of a first article corresponding to the first link identifier using the first user identifier. Further, when the first user identifier and the first link identifier are determined to be associated, the processing circuitry searches for a first message identifier in the database. The first message identifier identifies a first message that includes information of the previous sharing of the first article. The processing circuitry then retrieves the first message according to the first message identifier.
