  • Patent number: 11416452
    Abstract: Described are a method, system, and computer program product for deduplicating a storage object. A hash of a window of data of a storage object is determined and a determination is made as to whether the window of data of the storage object corresponds to a chunk boundary. A determination is made as to whether the hash of the object matches one pseudo fingerprints in a list of at least one pseudo fingerprint. A storage object chunk boundary based on the window of data is stored in response to the window of data corresponding to the chunk boundary or in response to determining that the hash of the object matches one of the pseudo fingerprints. A determination is made of a new window of data in the storage object following the window of data when the window of data is not an end of data of the storage object.

  • Patent number: 11157383
    Abstract: Automated determination of web page rendering performance techniques and systems are described. In one example, a web page including multiple user-interactive elements that can be selected or navigated via user input is received. A frame rendering system is employed to automatically identify the user-interactive elements and generate scripts to simulate user input at the user-interactive elements. The generated scripts are then used to simulate user input at the user-interactive elements. The scripts may be generated to simulate user interaction via a variety of different device types, and under a variety of different network conditions. During the simulation, a rendering performance score for the web page is generated by monitoring rendering performance relative to a threshold rendering rate.

  • Patent number: 11127064
    Abstract: An e-commerce search ranking system is provided and generally includes a server (e.g., application server), a database, and a customer computing device. The server can obtain user search query listings associated with a search term of users' search sessions to determine user engagement of the items. The server also determines that the items, and any items appearing before the items in each user search query listing, were examined. The server can then aggregate the information in the database. The server can also determine additional search terms related to the search term of the users' search session, and obtain user search query listings for the additional search terms. The server can determine user engagement for items appearing in those user search query listings, and can aggregate that information in the database as well. The aggregated information can be used to determine a final item ranking for a search request inquiry.

  • Patent number: 11003691
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for associating summarizations of visualizations of a data set based on affinities between the summarizations. For a data set, a number of summarizations may be created that summarizes the data set in different ways. The summarizations may be linked, such that selecting a data element of a first summarization causes display of a second summarization. To assist in linking of summarizations, suggested linkings between summarizations can be determined based on affinities of the two summarizations. Affinities can reflect similarities in the data content of the two summarizations, such as an output of a first summarization being a valid input to the second summarization.

  • Patent number: 10956278
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide solutions for determining an elected search head captain is unqualified for the position, identifying a more qualified search head, and transferring the captain position to the more qualified search head. A method is provided that includes referencing qualification parameters in an elected search head captain, determining whether the newly elected search head captain is qualified for the position based on the parameters, identifying a more qualified search head to be the search head captain if the newly elected search head captain is determined to be unqualified for the position, and transferring the position of captain to the more qualified search head. The qualification parameters may include, for example, a pre-determined static flag set by an administrator of the search environment, and configuration replication status that corresponds to the most recent configuration state of the search head as recorded by the previous search head captain.
