  • Patent number: 11157444
    Abstract: An approach for generating an index in Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) source files. The approach determines one or more similar index entries of a prioritized index. The approach determines a fraternal association exists between at least two of the one or more similar index entries when at least one of the one or more similar index entries occur with one or more similar high priority index entries. Responsive to a determination that a fraternal association exists between at least two of the one or more similar index entries, the approach determines whether an inheritance from a parent exists. The approach determines based, at least in part, on whether a fraternal association exists and whether an inheritance from a parent exists, a Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) index.

  • Patent number: 11159631
    Abstract: Embodiments for integration of social interactions in shared media by a processor. The social interactions are mapped in real time according to a predetermined preference. Duplicate ones of the social interactions are managed according to a data deduplication operation. The shared media is analyzed in view of the mapped social interactions to generate placement or duration display attributes for the social interactions such that the mapped social interactions and the shared media may be concurrently viewed on a particular display without obfuscating content of the shared media at a particular time.

  • Patent number: 11157521
    Abstract: A method and system of correlating annotations of media files. A first media file is received from a first media recording device. A file record for the first media file is created in the file table. A determination is made whether the first media file belongs to an existing matter group. Upon determining that the first media file belongs to an existing matter group: the file record is related with the existing matter group in the file table; annotations of the first media file that are flagged to be shared, are related to all media files of the existing matter group; and annotations of all the media files of the existing matter group to the first media file are related. Upon determining that the first media file does not belong to an existing matter group, a new matter group is created for the first media file in the matter table of the central server.

  • Patent number: 11144508
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a deduplicating storage system includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor. The logic is configured to cause the processor to perform a method which includes: computing a fingerprint of a data chunk, and determining whether a short term dictionary corresponding to the namespace comprises an entry corresponding to the fingerprint. In response to determining the short term dictionary does not comprise the entry, a determination is made whether a long term dictionary corresponding to the namespace comprises the entry. In response to determining the long term dictionary comprises the entry: the data chunk is written to the data store in the deduplicating manner, and the short term dictionary is repopulated with the entry. Moreover, in response to determining the long term dictionary does not comprise the entry, the data chunk is written to the data store in a non-deduplicating manner.

  • Patent number: 11061921
    Abstract: The present invention provides for inline/parallel processing of data messages, specifically data response messages, to both transform and parse the data in one single pass. Parsing includes extracting common data elements (such as, error codes, fault codes, status codes and the like) from the message and deleting generic headers from the messages. In specific embodiments of the invention, the parallel processing of the present invention is made possible by implementation of a SAX parser. In such embodiments of the invention, the SAX parser implements a single filter to both transform and parse the data response messages simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 11017019
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for authentic content search using style classifications. A system may be a search engine that uses a set of style classifiers to detect one or more styles associated with an image and a logistic regression model to determine a level of authenticity for the image based on the associated styles. Training images are fed to train a series of neural networks that output a set of style classifiers. An image is processed through the style classifiers to determine respective probabilities for each style classification. The results from the set of style classifiers are then input to the logistic regression model to determine an authenticity score for the image. For example, the authenticity score shows how authentic is an image (e.g., a score of 1.0 refers to 100% authenticity, whereas a score of 0.0 represents a non-authentic image).

  • Patent number: 11010415
    Abstract: The subject matter described herein relates to implementation of a dictionary in a column-based, in-memory database where values are not stored directly, rather, for each column, a dictionary is created with all distinct values. For each row, a reference to the corresponding value in the dictionary is stored. In one aspect, data is stored in a memory structure organized in a column store format defined by a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows. A dictionary for each column in the memory structure is generated. The dictionary has distinct values for each column. A reference to the dictionary is generated for each column in the memory structure. The dictionary and the reference to the dictionary are stored in the memory structure.

  • Patent number: 11003628
    Abstract: A variable driven, customizable data management system creates a descendent child module controllable by parameters set through action of a precedently operated architecture input module. Customizable child modules are expediently creatable to enable management of complex and disparate data sets per the requirements of particular end-users. Source files of varying file-types are determinable over network and data is extractable and pulled to populate a plurality of containers operative in the child module. Edits made to data displayed as part of the child module may be pushed over network to overwrite source files as amended. Complex data sets are thus collatable from disparate locations, over network, between partitions, even across platforms, whereby pulled data is rendered interactive for end-user control, despite local and root disunity, and displayed for interaction at a single instance.

  • Patent number: 10831724
    Abstract: An enhanced resource reconciliation process is disclosed to examine the metadata hierarchy of unidentified instances of configuration objects within a particular “data partition” (sometimes called a dataset) of an enterprise configuration management database (CMDB) and perform reconciliation against a target dataset, such as a golden, i.e., production, dataset. The enhanced reconciliation process could identify against instances in the production dataset that are of the same class as the unidentified instance—as well as instances that come from any “candidate” classes. Candidate classes could consist of, e.g., classes upstream or downstream from the unidentified instance in the metadata hierarchy.
