  • Patent number: 11030332
    Abstract: A first electronic computing device includes a processing unit and system memory. A first electronic database is installed on the first electronic computing device. The system memory includes instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the first electronic database to receive a request from a second electronic computing device to access information stored on the first electronic database. A web services catalog that is part of the first electronic database is used to determine an access authorization level for the request. When a determination is made that the access authorization level is valid for the request, a security check is performed on a syntax of the access request. When a determination is made that the syntax is valid, the requested information is obtained from one or more tables in the first electronic database and the requested information is sent to the second electronic computing device.

  • Patent number: 10977234
    Abstract: A database system stores both compressed and uncompressed data in a row-based database system. The database system converts a representation of data involving a set of rows of a source database table, each row comprising multiple values, into a representation involving a single row stored in a target database table, each column of the row comprising arrays of values from the set. The database system may perform type-specific compression of data when storing in the target database table. Accordingly, the database system may apply different compression schemes for different columns or sets of values obtained from the source database table and may group or order selected rows or store additional summary information to improve query performance to the target database table. The database system allows users to query data stored in compressed form. The database system combines compressed and uncompressed data at query time for efficient database analytics.

  • Patent number: 10978178
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for searching and ranking molecules based on specificity. To this end, a processor receives a request to search for molecules that correspond to biological features, and generates a mapping of molecules to the biological features by searching publications for a reference to a biological feature in connection with a molecule, and responsively adding to the mapping any found references. The processor determines a respective specificity score for each respective molecule of the plurality of molecules by determining which of the plurality of biological features are mapped to each respective molecule, and for each such respective biological feature, in response to determining that there is not more than one concrete instance that is mapped to the respective molecule, incrementing the respective specificity score by a unit. The processor generates a ranking based on the respective specificity scores and outputs the ranking.
