Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for improved per-frequency counting systems that record interactions between individuals and a group of providers while maintaining differential privacy. A protocol may be defined that specifies frequency bins to categorize identifiers corresponding to individuals. A provider may generate a plurality of private sketches, each corresponding to a plurality of frequencies defined in the protocol. Frequency data is determined for each identifier. Identifiers are encoded into the private sketches corresponding to the identifiers' associated frequency. The plurality of private sketches from each provider in the group of providers are combined to generate a deduplicated distribution across the group. In one implementation, the private sketches of each provider are sequentially merged until all sketches have been combined, from which the total distribution can be estimated.

Abstract: The disclosed enhancements optimize the use of the live browse cache and pseudo-disk storage areas, improving metadata handling so that it can be used more effectively to speed up live browse and file indexing of backup copies in a data storage management system. The enhancements operate granularly to identify within each extent being backed up smaller sectors that comprise metadata. The disclosed approach pre-fetches the metadata of the backup copy before allowing the file scan of the file indexing and/or the live browse operation to proceed. The backup operation, the file indexing operation, and the live browse operation are enhanced to handle the more granular metadata sectors without changing the granularity of the full extents generated and stored in the backup.

Abstract: A storage manager for an information management system determines whether one or more predetermined conditions have been met for transferring metadata of previously performed backup jobs stored in a first management database. A backup job may correspond to a backup operation of a primary storage device of a first client computing device. In response to a determination that one or more of the predetermined conditions have been met, the storage manager may transfer metadata for a second plurality of backup jobs to a second management database of a recovery manager. The recovery manager may receive a request to restore data to the primary storage device of the first client computing device based on the metadata of the second plurality of backup jobs. A media agent managed by the recovery manager may then restore the requested data to the primary storage device of the first client computing device.

Abstract: A device for merging backup policies is configured to determine, if a first backup policy comprising a first set of rules, and a second backup policy comprising a second set of rules, are assigned to a backup object. The device is further configured to, when the first backup policy and the second backup policy are assigned to the backup object, generate a merged backup policy comprising a merged set of rules, based on the first backup policy and the second backup policy. A resource consumption of a backup created according to the merged backup policy is below a predefined threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques are disclosed for managing replication in a deployable object, such as a pod (e.g., a group of one or more containers). For example, when a pod is started in a cluster, the deployable object may start one or more virtual computer systems (e.g., containers), which may pull (e.g., initiate and run) container images from a registry server. The processing device may thus identify, such as on the file level, which container image should be pulled first. A scheduler of the one or more virtual computer systems may prioritize, based on the computed scores, a subsequent replication of archived data of the one or more virtual computer systems to be performed. The processing device may then execute, based on the prioritization by the scheduler, the subsequent replication of the archived data of the one or more virtual computer systems in the deployable object.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing contextual search results. The system may receive a search query during presentation of a video. If the query is ambiguous, the system accesses some of the frames of the video. The frames are analyzed to identify a performed action depicted in the frames. The system retrieves a keyword related to the identified action. The ambiguous query is augmented with the keyword. The augmented search query is used to search for and output relevant search results.

Abstract: “Updatable” private set intersection (PSI) protocols allow parties that each have an updatable private set to determine the intersection of their sets after an update without the need to compare each element of each set and without compromising privacy. In some protocols, a first party can determine an update to the intersection by determining an intersection of elements that were previously in the first party's set with elements that were added to the second party's set and determining an intersection of elements that were added to the first party's set with elements that are in the second party's (updated) set. In some protocols, both parties can determine the updated intersection.

Abstract: Mechanisms for multidimensional data modeling and operations and related procedures are described. Resource structures for multidimensional data can be used. This can allow lumped operations such as RESTful operations and procedures on the multidimensional data. A new attribute “SamplingPeriodCovered” can be used to indicate the time interval when the related time series data (or any multi-dimension data streams) are stored. This can reduce the total size of the data stored.

Abstract: A system for processing distributed ledger transactions using a time-sequenced, asynchronous, Byzantine Fault Tolerant (taBFT) consensus system. Transaction data from a client device is received by a full node in a distributed ledger network. The full nodes are preferably satellite based nodes. The full nodes include an object router and a validator node. Transaction data is received at the object router, a timestamp is attached to the transaction data, and the combined data is encrypted and sent to the validator node, and also to other full nodes. The validator node verifies the format, structure and correctness of the data contained in the transaction, and validates the requested transaction. Other full nodes receive the encrypted transaction data and make their own determination of the validity of the transaction data. Upon consensus approval of a transaction, the transaction data is executed and submitted to a permanent data store.
