  • Patent number: 11263182
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for distribution of applications amongst a number of servers, ensuring that changes to application data on a master for that application are asynchronously replicated to a number of slaves for that application. Servers may be located in geographically diverse locations; the invention permits data replication over high-latency and lossy network connections and failure-tolerance under hardware and network failure conditions. Access to applications is mediated by a distributed protocol handler which allows any request for any application to be addressed to any server, and which, when working in tandem with the replication system, pauses connections momentarily to allow seamless, consistent live-migration of applications and their state between servers.

  • Patent number: 11256675
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving, by a server computer, a request message comprising at least a credential from a client device. The server computer can hash the credential to form an altered value. The server computer can then determine whether or not the altered value matches one of the hashed values stored in the database. If the altered value matches a matched hashed value, the server computer can determine a range of a plurality of ranges. The range can be associated with the matched hashed value. The server computer can then determine a data item associated with the range. The server computer can provide the data item to the client device.

  • Patent number: 11250007
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing one or more owner-specified functions to I/O requests. A function can implement a data manipulation, such as filtering out sensitive data before reading or writing the data. The functions can be applied prior to implementing a request method (e.g., GET or PUT) specified within the I/O request, such that the data to which the method is applied my not match the object specified within the request. For example, a user may request to obtain (e.g., GET) a data set. The data set may be passed to a function that filters sensitive data to the data set, and the GET request method may then be applied to the output of the function. In this manner, owners of objects on an object storage service are provided with greater control of objects stored or retrieved from the service.

  • Patent number: 11249996
    Abstract: A computer system adapts queries in a content management system. A search query is received from a client application. A rule query based on a search query is executed to identify one or more search rules indicating modifications for the search query, wherein each search rule of the one or more search rules is generated by analyzing a starter search query and a target search query of one or more prior query sequences, and content items associated with the target search query of the one or more prior query sequences. The search query is modified by applying the one or more search rules to the search query. The modified search query is executed to select content items. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for adapting queries in a content management system in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 11210336
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products help users recall memories and search for content of those memories. When a user cannot recall a memory, the user is prompted with questions to help recall the memory. As the user answers the questions, a virtual recollection of the memory is synthesized from the answers to the questions. When the user is satisfied with the virtual recollection of the memory, a database of content may be searched for the virtual recollection of the memory. Video data, for example, may be retrieved that matches the virtual recollection of the memory. The video data is thus historical data documenting past events.
