Abstract: A save folder to be used in order for an analysis data acquisition device to save an analysis data file in a storage is created by a creator. When a file determiner determines that the analysis data file is saved in the created save folder, the analysis data file saved in the save folder is registered by a registrator in an analysis database of a database storage device. When an end determiner determines that an instruction for ending registration of the analysis data file in the analysis database has been given, a region processor makes the save folder unavailable for the registration of the analysis data file in the analysis database.

Abstract: A system and method of managing highly-volatile statistics of a multi-threaded application environment. The statistics are represented by one or more statistics objects. Each statistics object of the one or more statistics objects is prefixed with an object header having a version counter with an initial version count of zero. Each statistics object is associated with a statistics class instance, each statistics class instance being associated with an associative registry that is configured to allocate smallest possible objects of a size equal to or greater than to that of the statistics objects, the registry segmenting the statistics objects according to a size class. Each allocated statistics object is constructed in the object frame after the object header. Then, the object header of each allocated statistics object is initialized. Once allocated, objects can be deallocated.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for multiple duration deduplication entries. A processor may be configured to perform data deduplication operations, including setting a first indicator for first metadata stored to a hash database identifying a first time interval to maintain the first metadata in the database, and setting a second indicator for second metadata stored to the database identifying a second time interval to maintain the second metadata in the database longer than the first time interval. The processor may remove the first metadata from the database when no duplicative data is detected for the first metadata within the first time interval, and remove the second metadata from the database when no duplicative data is detected for the second metadata within the second time interval.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for validating expression updates. A change to an editable expression can be detected by a client computing device and an expression update describing the detected change can be transmitted to an application server over a bidirectional communication channel. The application server can analyze the expression update to determine whether the detected change resulted in a valid expression. Analyzing the expression update can comprise locating an entity identifier in the detected change and searching a database to determine whether the identified entity exists. The application server can also determine whether a given user has permission to access the identified entity. The application server can transmit expression update validation information back to the client computing device over the bidirectional communication channel. The client computing device can update a user interface displaying the expression based on the validation information.
