  • Patent number: 11669545
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for any point in time replication to the cloud. Data is replicated by replicating data to a remote storage or a data bucket in the cloud. At the same time, a metadata stream is generated and stored. The metadata stream establishes a relationship between the data and offsets of the data in the production volume. This allows continuous replication without having to maintain a replica volume. The replica volume can be generated during a rehydration operation that uses the metadata stream to construct the production volume from the cloud data.

  • Patent number: 11663615
    Abstract: A computing system receives a plurality of payloads from a plurality of computing devices, each of the plurality of payloads comprising one or more events for a pageview corresponding to a respective website. For every predefined time period, the computing system collects a plurality of payloads received within the predefined time period, stores the collected plurality of payloads in a single file in a datastore, generates metadata associated with the single file, and stores the generated metadata in a database comprising metadata for a plurality of single files. When the computing system receives a request for a pageview of a website, the computing system accesses the database to determine a plurality of payloads within one or more single files comprising payloads for the pageview of the website. The computing system generates the pageview by assembling the plurality of payloads for the pageview of the website.

  • Patent number: 11645333
    Abstract: System generates data structure based on unique identifiers of objects in storages and sets indicators in positions corresponding to hashes of unique identifiers of objects. The system copies active objects from one storage to another, if number of active objects in storage does not satisfy threshold, and resets indicators in positions in data structure corresponding to hashes of unique identifiers of active objects copied to the other storage. The system generates another data structure based on unique identifiers created while generating data structure, positions in other data structure corresponding to hashes of the unique identifiers. System sets indicators in positions in the other data structure corresponding to hashes of unique identifiers of data objects in active storages while generating data structure. System resets indicators in positions in data structure corresponding to hashes of the unique identifiers corresponding to indicators set in positions of the other data structure.

  • Patent number: 11630825
    Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing enhanced search term suggestions. A set of incomplete search terms indicating a sequence of search terms entered may be received. It may be detected that the sequence contains a descending phase followed by an ascending phase. In response to the detection, a pair of misinput term and corresponding corrected term may be identified in the set of incomplete search terms. A probability with respect to the misinput term is a misinput of the corresponding corrected term may be determined based on a historical context. Using such a probability, an incomplete search term containing the misinput term may be corrected. One or more proposed search terms may be determined based on the corrected incomplete search term for suggestion to the user.

  • Patent number: 11630836
    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.

  • Patent number: 11615410
    Abstract: Heartbeat consensus forming for the state of a digital ledger built upon a blockchain to provide users with the ability to securely, accurately, and verifiably share state information between distrustful parties is provided herein. The digital ledger is hosted in a networked environment, accessible by multiple parties. Heartbeat transactions allow clients, who are not in direct communication with one another and may distrust one another, to verify the integrity of the digital ledger via consensus. The consensus is readily verifiable by each client on its own machine and allows the ledger to be recovered to an agreed-to state in the event of a fault initiated by a client or the host of the ledger, whether malicious or otherwise. The digital ledger is freely movable to different hosts in the event of a fault.
