  • Patent number: 10380093
    Abstract: One or more processors generate a data source table. The data source table is specific for a particular constrained natural language (cNL) vocabulary term from a cNL vocabulary dictionary. The data source table includes a location reference to multiple predetermined data sources that contain data related to the particular cNL vocabulary term, where at least two of the multiple predetermined data sources are disparate types of data sources as compared to each other. The data source table also includes a location reference to a materialized view of data from each of the multiple data sources, where the materialized view of data is data that is related to the particular cNL vocabulary term. One or more processors receive a request for data related to the particular cNL vocabulary term from a requester, and then retrieve data from multiple materialized views from the data source table to the requester.

  • Patent number: 10380183
    Abstract: A plurality of memory maps may be allocated that represents the hash table on a memory device to store keys and values. The memory maps may comprise at least a primary map and a secondary map. A hash table operation may be performed on the primary map based on a first position computed using a first hash function, and if not successful, a bounded linear probing that probes a defined primary probe region in the primary map. Responsive to determining that the hash table operation on the primary map is not successful, the hash table operation may be performed on the secondary map based on a second position computed using a second hash function, and if not successful, a bounded linear probing that probes a defined secondary probe region in the secondary map.

  • Patent number: 10366052
    Abstract: A request to open a file from a plurality of files in a storage is received from an application. The storage is made up of an index partition, containing recordings of file system indexes, and a data partition, containing recordings of the indexes and the file system data body. A file descriptor is created with an update flag that references the file. A determination is made that the file is being updated by the application, and the update flag is set to a value representing that the file is being updated. A request to write an index of the file system is received. A determination is made whether a specific file from the plurality of files is being updated. The index is written to the storage with an extended attribute for the specific file indicating that the specific file was being updated at the time the index was written.

  • Patent number: 10354255
    Abstract: A client tracking mechanism has a log file analysis routine that may generate two tables, one having a licensable entity designator and last logged off time, and the other having a current session designator. The first table may be aggregated by a server that may collect data from multiple client tracking mechanisms to determine a licensable entity's sessions across multiple servers. The client tracking mechanism may save and resume analysis from the last analyzed log file entry, and may be able to track sessions that are both shorter and longer than the time between each analysis. In many embodiments, a licensable entity may be a user or a device, when a license arrangement is configured in a per-user or per-device basis.

  • Patent number: 10346256
    Abstract: Protected data is divided into a plurality of segments. For each segment in the plurality of segments, a fingerprint is generated. The plurality of fingerprints is grouped into group(s) of fingerprints and for each group of fingerprints, a group fingerprint is generated. It is determined if the group fingerprint being processed is stored in a cache and if so, the group fingerprint being processed is flagged as one for which a virtual copy will be performed.

  • Patent number: 10325106
    Abstract: A server includes a triple processor with instructions executed by a processor to receive an input document, read and store document restrictions for the input document, specify a first triple permutation, and produce for each triple in the input document a record of the triple in accordance with the first triple permutation and the position of the triple in the document. The server also includes a query processor with instructions executed by a processor to receive a query, match components of the query to triples in a triple repository to form initial triples, remove triples from the initial triples in accordance with document restrictions associated with the triples to form final triples, and return the final triples.

  • Patent number: 10324894
    Abstract: A storage device management method, a storage device management system and a memory storage device are provided. The method includes establishing multiple first temporary files in a first directory before receiving a setting instruction from a host, wherein the first temporary files are stored in multiple consecutive clusters of a file system and an operating system of the host is unable to access files in the first directory. The method further includes receiving the setting instruction from the host, wherein the setting instruction instructs to configure a temporary file directory in a second directory and the operating system of the host is able to access files in the second directory. The method further includes linking a cluster number of the consecutive clusters storing the first temporary files to the temporary file directory in the directory area corresponding to the file system.

  • Patent number: 10311086
    Abstract: A method and system. Target clusterability is calculated as an average of a respective clusterability of at least one target data item comprised by a target domain. Target-side matchability is calculated as an average of a respective matchability of each target centroid of the target domain to source centroids of a source domain, wherein the source domain comprises at least one source data item. Source-side matchability is calculated as an average of a respective matchability of each source centroid of said source centroids to the target centroids. Source-target pair matchability is calculated as an average of the target-side matchability and the source-side matchability. Cross-domain clusterability between the target domain and the source domain is calculated as a linear combination of the calculated target clusterability and the calculated source-target pair matchability. The cross-domain clusterability is transferred to a device.

  • Patent number: 10235405
    Abstract: A distributed storage system may store data object instances in persistent storage and may store keymap information for those data object instances in a distributed hash table on multiple computing nodes. Each data object instance may include a composite key containing a user key. The keymap information for each data object instance may map the user key to a locator and the locator to the data object instance. A request to store or retrieve keymap information for a data object instance may be routed to a particular computing node based on a consistent hashing scheme in which a hash function is applied to a portion of the composite key of the data object instance. Thus, related entries may be clustered on the same computing nodes. The portion of the key to which the hash function is applied may include a pre-determined number of bits or be identified using a delimiter.
