Abstract: Example apparatus and methods create and maintain a functional mirror of file system metadata for an active file system. The functional mirror may be implemented as a set of database tables that allow a journal functionality for information received from the active file system. Example apparatus and methods also restore the file system metadata from the functional mirror. Mirror creation and maintenance can operate in parallel. Mirror maintenance and metadata restore can also operate in parallel. The functional mirror may be created primarily using a systematic, system-wide, multi-threaded crawler approach whose results are updated using an event-driven approach that accounts for changes that may make obsolete information acquired during the crawler approach. The metadata may be restored using a systematic, system-wide, multi-threaded crawler approach acting together with an event-driven approach that restores certain files out of order as they are needed.

Accordingly, the present inventors devised systems, methods, and software that facilitate determining whether a term that is found in a medical corpus is likely to be a medical term when found in another corpus. An exemplary embodiment receives a term and computes an ambiguity score based on language models for a medical and a non-medical corpus.

Abstract: Improved backup and storage operations are disclosed for virtual computing environments using a backup proxy server to perform storage operations on one or more virtual machine disks. The proxy server can include a module that intercepts application programming interface (API) calls, for writing backup data to a first location, prior to the data arriving on the proxy disk. During the intercept process, the data can be compressed in memory pages of the proxy server and redirected to an alternative backup disk location. The proxy server can also include a differential engine that identifies changes to the virtual machine disk at the block level since the last full backup. The differential engine can advantageously leverage memory pages of the proxy server to compare differences between signatures of blocks of the last full backup with signatures of new blocks. Subsequently, only blocks with non-matching signatures are processed for backup.

Abstract: The present invention is a stream data anomaly detection method for detecting an anomaly in input data received by a computer. The computer has: an input module for receiving the input data; an anomaly detection unit for detecting an anomaly in the input data; and an index management unit for calculating an index for the detection of an anomaly in the input data. The anomaly detection unit compares the received input data with the index and detects an anomaly in the input data when the difference between the value of the input data and the index satisfies a predetermined condition. The index management unit determines whether or not the index should be recalculated, and, when the index is determined to be recalculated, the index management unit recalculates a new index on the basis of the input data and substitutes the index with the calculated index.
