  • Patent number: 11954148
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to select reference sub-fingerprints for comparison to query sub-fingerprints based on a determination that a query sub-fingerprint is a match with a reference sub-fingerprint, generate a count vector that stores total counts of matches between the query sub-fingerprints and different subsets of the reference sub-fingerprints, each of the different subsets being aligned to the query sub-fingerprints at a different offset from a reference point, each of the different offsets being mapped by the count vector to a different total count, calculate a maximum count among the total counts, a median of the total counts, and a difference between the maximum count and the median of the total counts, and classify the reference sub-fingerprints as a match with the query sub-fingerprints based on the difference between the maximum count in the count vector and the median.

  • Patent number: 11741150
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for suppressing search results to personally objectionable content. One of the methods includes receiving an identifier of a resource that has image content. A first classifier classifies the image content as including objectionable content or not including objectionable content.

  • Patent number: 11720453
    Abstract: A method operative in association with a set of transaction handling computing elements that comprise a network core that receive and process transaction requests into an append-only immutable chain of data blocks, wherein a data block is a collection of transactions, and wherein presence of a transaction recorded within a data block is verifiable via a cryptographic hash, and wherein Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) data structures supporting the immutable chain of data blocks are maintained in a UTXO database, wherein a UXTO is an output from a finalized transaction that contains a value. The technique herein includes periodically snapshotting a given portion of the UTXO database to generate a hash. The hash of the snapshot is recorded within the immutable chain of data blocks, and preferably within a given block header. In responsive to a receipt of a recovery request, and to facilitate recovery of the system to a provably-known state, a consensus algorithm is executed over the UXTO snapshot.

  • Patent number: 11709824
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for consolidating transaction log requests and transaction logs in a database transaction log service. A scalable log service may manage log requests and logs to reduce resource consumption, such as memory and I/O. Log requests may be managed by consolidating (e.g., organizing, merging and/or de-duplicating) the log requests. Transaction log requests may be mapped to read requests for transaction log storage devices in less than a one-to-one ratio. Transaction logs may be managed by using the consolidated log requests to consolidate (e.g., and prefetch) transaction logs from multiple cache and/or storage tiers to a log pool cache. Log requests may be served from the log pool cache.

  • Patent number: 11687504
    Abstract: Data reduction services are implemented on one or more nodes of an IIoT data pipeline to intelligently determine an appropriate data reduction strategy based on characteristics of the incoming data. In one or more embodiments, data reduction components on the pipeline node or on an edge device define different data filtering rules or algorithms that are selectively applied to streaming time-series data based on a probability distribution of the data. The data pipeline node performs real-time distribution analysis on the streaming data to determine whether the data has a unimodal distribution, a multimodal distribution, or no mode, and selects one of the data filtering rules based on this determined probability distribution. In this way, the data is intelligently reduced in a manner that retains critical information within the reduced data set while achieving a high level of data reduction.

  • Patent number: 11656947
    Abstract: A host system communicates to a production system that performs point-in-time copy operations to a backup system to generate a logical corruption protection (LCP) copy of a production copy that comprises a data set, wherein the point-in-time copy operations perform copying at a media level in which physical tracks are copied from the production system to the backup system, and wherein the point-in-time copy operations avoid using information on the data set or file structure that is included in a media on which the data set is stored. In response to a detection of a logical corruption in the data set, a recovery application executing in the host system recovers the data set from the LCP copy.

  • Patent number: 11625370
    Abstract: Techniques for reducing data log recovery time and metadata write amplification when checkpointing a data log of a storage object in a distributed storage system are provided. In one set of embodiments, a node of the system can determine whether the data log has reached a first threshold size, where the data log comprises a plurality of data log records, and where each data log record includes data and metadata for a write request directed to the storage object. If the data log has reached the first threshold size, the node can copy, from each of the plurality of data log records, the metadata for the write request to a corresponding metadata log entry in a metadata log of the storage object. The node can then truncate the data log by removing the plurality of data log records.
