Abstract: Two versions of a database can be held in two trees that have many of the same nodes. Both trees can be concurrently searched using recursive algorithms. A root node indicator indicates a root node for a tree search algorithm. The root node indicator can indicate a first root node of a first tree. A tree search algorithm can identify a record node in the first tree. Intermediate nodes between the record node and the first root node can be identified and retained nodes can be identified. A second root node and replacement intermediate nodes can be instantiated. A second tree that includes the second root node, the replacement intermediate node, and the retained nodes can be created. The root node indicator can be set to indicate the second root node after creating the second tree.

Abstract: An agent is installed on a computing device of a vehicle (e.g., an ECU); the agent receives messages from an application installed on the same computing device. The computing device is connected to a gateway computing device via a physical communication channel (e.g., CAN bus or Ethernet cable). When the gateway agent receives a message from the application, it converts the message into a different protocol based on a mapping of the protocols to physical communication channels. The message is sent to a gateway agent at the gateway device, where it is converted back to the original protocol so the message can be processed/transmitted to the internet. By using an agent, the in-vehicle application does not need to know about the vehicle's network architecture or changes to it in order to access the internet.

The method includes terminating, by the processor, a connection between the first device and the wearable electronic device. Thus, terminating, by the processor, a second connection of the first device with the second device.

For example, data structures can be maintained for managing the shared read-only objects, comprising a data structure storing a “deleted at” value for each shared read-only object, a data structure storing a “deleted at” value for each secondary node, a data structure storing a indication of which secondary nodes are reading which shared read-only objects, and a data structure storing a reference count indicating a number of active read transactions for each shared read-only object. The shared read-only objects that can be garbage collected can be identified using, at least in part, the data structures. The identified shared read-only objects can then be garbage collected.

Abstract: Some implementations are directed to generating a personal database entry for a user based on free-form natural language input formulated by the user via one or more user interface input devices of a computing device of the user. The generated personal database entry may include one or more terms of the natural language input and descriptive metadata determined based on one or more terms of the natural language input and/or based on contextual features associated with receiving the natural language input. Some implementations are directed to generating, based on one or more personal database entries of a user, output that is responsive to further free-form natural language input of the user. For example, one or more entries that are responsive to further natural language input of the user can be identified based on matching content of those entries to one or more search parameters determined based on the further input.
