  • Patent number: 11983169
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein may optimize write operations in a transaction to reduce the number of operations to the point where each of the write operations may be performed in parallel. The writer optimizer may review a first write operation and a second write operation to determine whether the first write operation and the second write operation write to the same row in the same table. When the first write operation and the second write operation write to the same row in the same table, the first write operation and the second write operation may be combined to generate a functionally-equivalent third write operation. The third write operation may reduce the number of operations in the transaction by replacing both the first write operation and the second write operation.

  • Patent number: 11947605
    Abstract: A system and method for a patent search and analytics software tool that finds prior art for each claim limitation/element by breaking up claims into individual claim limitations. Once the claims are separated, the system finds the best prior art for each of the individual separate, different claim limitations/elements. Additionally, the software finds the best prior art for entire claims, including non-patent literature (NPL) searching. The system takes into account the limitations of the claim under consideration (query claim of query patent), the text of the art, the link structure of the citation network, and the patent classification and then constructs a network that consists of two types of nodes: (i) the art (patents and non-patent literature) and the (ii) classes of the patent classification. Each art node is linked to all the art nodes that it cites and is linked to all the classification nodes that it belongs to.
