  • Patent number: 11375021
    Abstract: Any sensing system is faced with triangle of dilemma between accuracy, latency and energy. High energy and high latency sensing systems are often very accurate but less useful. Embodiments herein provide a method and system for edge based sensor controlling in the IoT network for event monitoring. The system disclosed herein applies a hierarchical sensor selection process and adaptively chooses sensors among multiple sensors deployed in the IoT network. Further, on-the-fly changes operation modes of the sensors to automatically produce the best possible inference from the selected sensor data, in time, power and latency at the edge. Further, sensors of the system include a waveform and diversity control mechanism that enables controlling of an excitation signal of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 11349803
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for resolving Domain Name Service (DNS) requests. An authoritative DNS server may receive, from a recursive resolver, a DNS request to resolve a query on behalf of a client. The authoritative DNS server may determine whether the recursive resolver is classified as a non-client representative resolver or a client representative resolver. The authoritative DNS server may identify a redirect server based on the recursive resolver classified as the non-client representative resolver or the resolved server based on the recursive resolver classified as the client representative resolver. The authoritative DNS server may transmit, to the recursive resolver, a response to the DNS request including an address of one of the redirect server or the resolved server.

  • Patent number: 11336739
    Abstract: Messages are transmitted to first and second server groups in an on-demand computing services environment. The first message instructs the first server group to reduce a first resource allocation level associated with a network-accessible computing resource, while the second message instructs the second server group to increase a second resource allocation level associated with the resource. The resource allocation levels designate respective proportions of the network-accessible computing resource shared among the server groups. Request traffic associated with providing services via the on-demand computing services environment is transferred from the first server group to the second server group after decreasing the first resource allocation level and increasing the second resource allocation level.

  • Patent number: 11301505
    Abstract: An affinity server estimates an affinity between two different time based media events (e.g., TV, radio, social media content stream), between a time based media event and a specific topic, or between two different topics, where the affinity score represents an intersection between the populations of social media users who have authored social media content items regarding the two different events and/or topics. The affinity score represents an estimation of the real world affinity between the real world population of people who have an interest in both time based media events, both topics, or in a time based media event and a topic. One possible threshold for including a social media user in a population may be based on a confidence score that indicates the confidence that one or more social media content items authored by the social media user are relevant to the topic or event in question.

  • Patent number: 11303545
    Abstract: A cloud-based service records time-series data of a plurality of metrics from a plurality of tenants. The time-series data comprises a series of measures of a metric at sequential points in time. The time-series data is recorded in database tables in a manner that consumes more resources when the cardinality of the time-series data is high. When the cardinality of the data for the tenant is too high, the tenant is blacklisted and further data for the tenant is not stored. In addition to identifying incoming time-series data by the tenant that produced it, the data may also identify its type. In this case, the cardinality of each type of data may be determined and the types of data may be individually allowed or blacklisted for the tenant.
