Patent number: 12041128Abstract: Throughput is preserved in a distributed system while maintaining concurrency by pushing a commit wait period to client commit paths and to future readers. As opposed to servers performing commit waits, the servers assign timestamps, which are used to ensure that causality is preserved. When a server executes a transaction that writes data to a distributed database, the server acquires a user-level lock, and assigns the transaction a timestamp equal to a current time plus an interval corresponding to bounds of uncertainty of clocks in the distributed system. After assigning the timestamp, the server releases the user-level lock. Any client devices, before performing a read of the written data, must wait until the assigned timestamp is in the past.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2023Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Wilson Cheng-Yi Hsieh, Peter Hochschild

Patent number: 12028304Abstract: A method for restricting reception of e-mail messages from a sender of bulk spam mail includes identifying an unknown sender of received e-mail messages. A set of e-mail messages received from the identified sender is selected. A type of bulk spam mailing is determined based on the selected set of e-mail messages using one or more spam identification signatures. Restrictions on reception of e-mail messages from a sender distributing bulk spam of the determined type are generated.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: AO Kaspersky LabInventors: Dmitry S.

Patent number: 12021914Abstract: A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid).Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2022Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: BRIGHT DATA LTD.Inventors: Derry Shribman, Ofer Vilenski

Patent number: 12010083Abstract: Systems and methods for regulating electronic messages transmissions. A message delay system is disposed between one or more first entities and a second entity within at least one network. Electronic messages are received from among at least one the first entities and the second entity at one or more message arrival times. A message delay component applies a delay to each received electronic message, based on a predefined delay time common to all of the first entities and a first entity delay offset associated with a first entity that is associated with the received message. The first entity delay offset is based on a geographical origin of the first entity relative to a geographical origin of the second entity. Each delayed message is transmitted to a designated recipient via the network, where the designated recipient is among the second entity and the first entities.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2023Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Intercontinental Exchange Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Vladimir Parizhsky, Alexei Lebedev, Robert Cornish

Patent number: 11962661Abstract: A technique uses a graph neural network (GNN) to determine whether a particular entity under consideration is engaging in abusive network-related activity over a computing network in collaboration with other entities. In some applications, the particular entity is part of a bot attack aimed at fraudulently engaging with advertisements. The technique trains the GNN by performing machine learning on a training set that includes a plurality of nodes, edges, and node labels. In forming the training set, the technique associates a feature set with each node in the training set that describes the network activity exhibited by that node's entity. The technique then connects each pair of nodes in the training set with an edge if the feature sets of the pair satisfy a prescribed test for similarity. The technique assigns labels to at least some nodes to convey whether the nodes are associated abusive network-related activity.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rajvardhan Virendra Oak, Karan Khanna, Vacha Rajendra Dave
