Abstract: Methods and systems for clustering objects using Geohash grids. The clusters are typically displayed on an interactive map. A clustering module receives multiple objects having respective geo-information and derives clusters for the objects in respective grid cells of a given resolution level. The clustering is based on the geo-information of the objects at one or more resolution levels that are finer than the given resolution level. Clustering based on finer-resolution levels provides spatial information at a granularity that is unavailable at the given resolution level and therefore achieves clustering with improved accuracy. The geo-information may comprise a Geohash spatial index that specifies the geographic location in accordance with the Geohash system.

Abstract: A method and system for search exploration in a mobile application environment as well as a desktop environment is provided. The method and system utilize at least one computer processor to perform the steps of selecting a virtual object on a display interface via an indicator positioned within and associated with the virtual object. The computer processor provides dragging the indicator out of a home area and displaying at least one related property associated with the virtual object on the display while dragging outside of the home area. The computer processor provides dragging the indicator onto one or more of the at least one related property associated with the virtual object and a pausing of the indicator over at least one related property causes the computer processor to select the related property as a search parameter of a search query. Dropping the dragged indicator initiates a search based on said search query and the search is initiated based on the search query as a result of said dropping.

Abstract: Illustrative storage manager and media agent are enhanced to interoperate with deduplication appliances. Advantages are realized when making secondary and tertiary copies and also when restoring from a deduplication appliance. Tiered indexing minimizes how much data is retained and stored at media agents. Tiered indexing enables media agents to efficiently extract needed information from deduplication appliances to make tertiary copies and to restore backed up copies. Interoperability techniques include media agents generating separate data streams to the deduplication appliance. Each data stream carries a different kind of data, e.g., payload data, metadata content, or high-level index information. On initial backup, the media agent instructs the deduplication appliance to deduplicate the payload data stream but not the other data streams, thus intelligently applying resources to data most likely to benefit from deduplication.

Abstract: In an automatic context adaptive search and result generation, a server obtains an email corpus of a user for a current time period. The server identifies a set of triggering semantics in the email corpus, and using an ontology, identifies a set of topic-context pairs corresponding to each triggering semantic. The server identifies a set of paths in the ontology activated by the set of topic-context pairs and compares the set of activated paths with paths in each heatmap of a set of heatmaps, where each heatmap corresponds to a document in a set of documents. The server identifies one or more heatmaps of the set of heatmaps including one or more paths matching an activated path of the set of activated paths. The server then outputs a search result including the one or more documents corresponding to the one or more heatmaps.

The system receives a selection of a third item from the first item set, identifies a third item set that includes the third item and a fourth item set that includes the third item, and outputs the third item set and the fourth item set to the location associated with the search box. The system receives a selection of any item set from the location associated with the search box, and executes a search based on the selected item set.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to synchronizing a first database with a second database. Embodiments include detecting a write operation modifying properties of a data object in the first database. While the data object is locked, embodiments write object change data to a journal table. Embodiments query the journal table of the recovery database to retrieve a portion of the object change data corresponding to a first window of time and comprising a plurality of entries. The retrieved portion of object change data is processed to create processed object data by collapsing duplicate entries within the plurality of entries. Embodiments retrieve object data from the first database, corresponding to properties of data objects specified in the processed object change data. The retrieved object data is pushed to the second database, whereby the second database is synchronized with the first database.
