  • Patent number: 11947990
    Abstract: Illustrative systems and methods enable a virtual machine (“VM”) to be powered up at any hypervisor regardless of hypervisor type, based on live-mounting VM data that was originally backed up into a hypervisor-independent format by a block-level backup operation. Afterwards, the backed up VM executes anywhere anytime without needing to find a hypervisor that is the same as or compatible with the original source VM's hypervisor. The backed up VM payload data is rendered portable to any virtualized platform. Thus, a VM can be powered up at one or more test stations, data center or cloud recovery environments, and/or backup appliances, without the prior-art limitations of finding a same/compatible hypervisor for accessing and using backed up VM data. An illustrative media agent maintains cache storage that acts as a way station for data blocks retrieved from an original backup copy, and stores data blocks written by the live-mounted VM.

  • Patent number: 11941431
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for managing software applications. The system receives, via a graphical user interface, a request to generate a chain application with a sequence of execution comprising a first application and a second application. In response to determining that an output type of the first application is not compatible with an input type of the second application, the system updates, without further user input, the sequence of execution such that the second application precedes the first application. The system generates the chain application configured to execute the first application and the second application in the updated sequence of execution.

  • Patent number: 11893368
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for removing branches from a computer program. The system receives code for a computer program, with the code including a number of branches. Each branch is part of a branching path and includes a jump instruction. The system executes the code, and upon encountering a branching path at runtime, the system proceeds with a number of steps. First, the system computes the result of the branch, then prefetches independent instructions outside of the branch to be executed. The system then executes one or more of the prefetched independent instructions and removes an if statement within the jump instruction of the branch at the computed result of the branching path. The system then executes the jump instruction of the branch at the computed result of the branching path.

  • Patent number: 11893418
    Abstract: Initiating the processing of resource events across disparate real-time processing networks, such as networks located international. In order to facilitate such resource events determinations are made that authorize the resource event participants to conduct the resource event across the international real-time processing networks. Once properly authorized the present invention provides for processing parameters to be determined, which may be specific to anyone of the resource participants and/or international real-time processing networks. Such processing parameters may be related to rules associated with settlement of the resource event, conversion rules for the international conversion of resources, resource sponsorship and the like. Once the resource event has been authorized and processing parameters determined, commands are sent to the respective interconnected international real-time processing networks that initiate the real-time processing of the resource event.

  • Patent number: 11861361
    Abstract: Distinguishing pattern differences from non-pattern differences. A set of differences is identified. The set comprises a plurality of differences between first and second versions of a document. A pattern is identified. The pattern explains a transformation from a first string in the first version of the document to a second string in the second version of the document. A subset of differences are identified. The subset comprises a plurality of differences, from among the set, which match the pattern. While presenting a user interface that visually highlights differences between the first and second versions of the document, a first visual treatment is applied to a first difference, based on the first difference being included in the subset. A second visual treatment is also applied to a second difference, based on the second difference being excluded from the subset. The second visual treatment is different than the first visual treatment.

  • Patent number: 11847437
    Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors configured by executable instructions receive, from a first computing device, at least one key-to-string mapping related to updated software located at a repository. The one or more processors further receive an indication of a target locale associated with the updated software. The one or more processors may compare a first string from the at least one key-to-string mapping with translated strings maintained in a database in association with the target locale to determine that a translated version of the first string for the target locale is present in the database. The one or more processors may send the translated version of the first string from the database to the first computing device in association with the updated software located at the repository.
