Abstract: A downtime registration service is discussed herein that enables client systems that rely on electronic record management systems to continue generating records during a downtime event for the electronic record management system without relying on a workaround that requires temporary identifiers or reentry of data. The downtime registration system improves the efficiency and accuracy of electronic systems because workarounds that involve using temporary identifiers, or reentering data collected during the downtime, increase the amount of work done and the chance for errors to be introduced into the records. The client systems are in communication with an outside facility providing advanced services, which track the records generated during normal operation (i.e., not downtime) so that new records created during downtime properly reuse existing record identifiers or assign new identifiers that correspond to the clients' record keeping policies.

Abstract: Video and corresponding metadata is accessed. Events of interest within the video are identified based on the corresponding metadata, and best scenes are identified based on the identified events of interest. A video summary can be generated including one or more of the identified best scenes. The video summary can be generated using a video summary template with slots corresponding to video clips selected from among sets of candidate video clips. Best scenes can also be identified by receiving an indication of an event of interest within video from a user during the capture of the video. Metadata patterns representing activities identified within video clips can be identified within other videos, which can subsequently be associated with the identified activities.

Abstract: A technique for managing data objects in a data storage cluster realizes an application-accessible data object within a file that belongs to an internal file system. The internal file system runs on a computing node of the cluster and is backed by a LUN realized in block storage. The storage cluster achieves snapshots of the data object at the level of the file system, e.g., by snapshotting the file, such that the data object and its snapshots are all backed by the same LUN in the block storage.

Abstract: A matched array technology system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interaction between different parameters of an aircraft flight. Specific applications effectively support improved flight safety and greater fuel efficiency. Proxy values of flight metrics are defined and scaled so the axes of the array contain corresponding indicators resulting in a matched array and an embedded, unique alignment vector showing the relationships between different flight variables. The flight alignment system may be used with flight data that contain discontinuities and nonlinear reversions. Wherever values intersect, flight alignment system indicators can depict proximity to the alignment vector, as well as the direction and extent of adjustments to either or both selected flight metrics to achieve and maintain controlled flight.

Abstract: A system that suggests and refines priority, severity, historical resolution, resolution time and assignment group to resolve auto-generated incidents is provided. The system leverages an incident characterization list tracking essence key phrases associated with historical incidents generated by an application performance management (APM) system and a machine data (MD) analysis system. The system automatically obtains a first auto-generated incident, from the APM system or the MD analysis system, based on any specified search criteria being met, or detection of a deviation in the value of key metrics from a specified threshold value.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein dynamically allocate streams when restoring data from databases. In some embodiments, the system and methods restore data from a database by determining a number of streams to allocate to the database for restoring files of data from the database. The determined number of streams may be based on a total amount of data within the database, and/or may be based, at least in part, on the previous number of streams used during backup operations, in order to balance the benefit of allocating streams to a restoration of data with any detriments associated with changing the number of streams from the number used during previous backup operations.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying in a two-dimensional array the structured interaction of two variables moving in tandem to achieve a target outcome: e.g., a chemical reaction balancing heat and pressure to produce a desired compound, or an aircraft changing speed over angles of attack. Underlying system operating variables are represented in the display as proxy values of X and Y, scaled so the range and interval of X- and Y-axes are the same. The resulting display is a “matched array” of all possible X, Y intersections, including a unique and clearly-delineated “alignment vector” of those cells in which proxy values of X equal proxy values of Y, the jointly-optimal values of the underlying system operating variables. Wherever X and Y intersect, indicators depict the operating variable values, their proximity to optimal on the alignment vector, and the direction and extent of adjustments needed to achieve optimal system performance.
