Abstract: A hardware and software facility for classifying media content units using keywords from a structured vocabulary. Metadata associated with each media content unit is segmented into a series of descriptive phrases. The descriptive phrases are mapped to keywords in a structured vocabulary, and the identified keywords associated with the media content units. Descriptive phrases that are not found in the structured vocabulary are tracked as candidate phrases for later addition to the structured vocabulary. A keyword index to the media content units may be constructed. The index is used to identify specific media content units that are responsive to search queries in a reliable and accurate fashion.

Abstract: Processing and memory resources are optimized in a data storage system by reading a region of compressed data containing desired data is read from primary storage, writing the compressed data to a memory page, selectively decompressing the compressed data to retrieve the desired data, and the writing the decompressed data back to the same page. State information about the start of the compressed data and the end of the decompressed data on the page is maintained to enable decompression to be halted and resumed on demand.

Abstract: In a cloud storage system, fast recovery from a crash of a cloud gateway or the cloud storage is afforded without the necessity of traditional garbage collection. Data objects are each broken up into a plurality of chunk objects that are prefixed with a unique non-repeating forever increasing generation number that is incremented for each different data object. The chunk objects of a particular data object are identified and listed in a manifest file that is also associated with that generation number. Upon a crash of either the cloud gateway or the cloud storage, a query identifies the cloud and deletes all orphaned chunk objects prefixed by and all manifest files associated with the prevailing generation number at the time of the crash. The deleted chunk objects and manifest files are regenerated and restored to cloud storage to return to consistency.

Abstract: A camera that supports removable storage divided into multiple partitions is configured to write files to removable storage that is formatted into journaled and non-journaled partitions. The journaled partition uses a journaling file system and the non-journaled partition uses a non-journaling file system that is supported natively by an operating system, such as the operating system of a desktop computer. The non-journaled partition has stored on it computer program code executable by a processor to use the operating system to access files stored on the journaled partition. The camera may also be configured to partition the removable storage into the journaled and non-journaled partitions. The camera writes data to the journaled partition. This permits the processor to access the files stored on the journaled partition by the camera even if the operating system does not natively support the journaled partition.

Abstract: Techniques for generating recommendation cluster within a social network service are described. Consistent with some embodiments, sample members in a social network service are identified. The sample members may be associated with prior member activity involving a source member. A cluster category this then selected based on a member attribute shared by a plurality of the sample members. In turn, a recommendation cluster is generated based on the selected cluster category. Generating the recommendation duster may involve selecting member profiles that match the cluster category. The member profiles selected in this way form the recommendation cluster. One or more of the member profiles of the recommendation cluster are then surfaced to a client device operated by the source member.

Abstract: A removable non-volatile memory device durably stores a serial number or identifier, which is used to mark multimedia content legally stored on the removable non-volatile memory device. In order to retrieve the serial number, a host electronic system coupled to the removable non-volatile memory device sends a sequence of multiple file access commands to access a predefined target file stored on the removable non-volatile memory device. In accordance with the executed predefined sequence of multiple file access commands, a corresponding sequence of data access commands are received at the removable non-volatile memory device and are interpreted as a request by the host electronic device to read the serial number. The removable non-volatile memory device outputs the serial number in response to the sequence of data access commands.
