Abstract: An incorrect copy of a record of data can be prevented from being transmitted to a distributed ledger system. A first file can be received and can include information, in audio or video form, with a description of a subject matter of the record of data and with an authorization to transmit the copy to the distributed ledger system. The first file can be sent to a device. A second file can be received from the device and can include information that confirms that the description of the subject matter, included in the first file, is correct, and that confirms that an entity, which controlled production of the first file, has permission to authorize causing the copy to be transmitted to the distributed ledger system. The correct copy can be caused, based on a receipt of the first and the second files, to be transmitted to the distributed ledger system.

Abstract: Provided is a method, apparatus, system, and/or computer readable medium for providing a map service. The map providing method may include extracting region information attached to a posting in response to an execution of a storage capability or a sharing capability by a user to the posting displayed on a page accessible to a computer, storing address information of the posting and the extracted region information associated with the user, and displaying a point of interest corresponding to the region information on a map service screen associated with the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing an event based retention schedule for a read only file. When a regular file is to be converted to an event based retention read only file, an “event-retain” property may be enabled on the file allowing the feature to be implemented. Then, that file may have its permissions changed to read only. This will allow the file to be changed to a read only file without using a default retention time. Then, once the event is triggered, the retention time may be set so the file can be scheduled for automatic deletion.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium containing instructions for responding to a user-initiated query. One method includes logging data received through an input interface of a communication device, receiving the user-initiated query, and determining a context-based response to the user-initiated query based on the logged data stored in the at least one data base and a probability of a user of the communication device receiving the logged data stored in the at least one data base. The method also includes providing the context-based response in reply to the user-initiated query.

Abstract: A seed value assigned to a database table is determined. Numerically ordered invocation numbers are determined. Unordered pseudorandom numbers are generated based on the seed value and the invocation numbers to index temporally ordered data changes to the database table. It is determined whether the total number of yet-to-be-saved pseudorandom numbers reaches a maximum total number threshold. If so, the yet-to-be-saved pseudorandom numbers and a sequence of corresponding invocation numbers are saved in a sync table.

Abstract: Techniques of this disclosure are directed to enable a computing device to process voice queries and provide query answers even when the computing device and vehicle do not have internet connectivity. According to the disclosed techniques, a computing device may detect a query via input devices of the computing device and output a query answer determined based on the detected query. Rather than directly querying a remote computing system, various aspects of the techniques of this disclosure may enable the computing device to use a query answer cache to generate the query answer. The query answer cache may include predicted queries and query answers retrieved from a query answer cache of a remote computing system, thereby enabling the computing device to respond to the detected queries while experiencing unreliable internet connection.

Abstract: In an approach to collaborative discourse, responsive to receiving a collaborative discourse, a document corpora of the collaborative discourse is analyzed. A picture metadata is analyzed for each image in a graphic repository. A machine learning model is derived based on the analysis of the document corpora and the analysis of the picture metadata. Appropriate images are selected from the graphic repository based on the machine learning model, where the appropriate images closely align with the collaborative discourse.

The method also includes generating an access map for the query, where the access map includes one or more potential access paths to execute the query. The method includes collecting, for the query, a set of data for each potential access path. The method further includes classifying, by the classification model, the query. The method also includes selecting a first access path of the one or more potential access paths and executing the query.

Abstract: To provide search capabilities in a process control system, a contextual knowledge repository is generated that organizes process plant-related data according to semantic relations between the process plant-related data and the process plant entities. When a user submits a process plant search query related to process plant entities within a process plant, search results are obtained by identifying a data set from the contextual knowledge repository which is responsive to the process plant search query. The search results are then presented on a user interface device based on the identified data set. To allow for searches to be performed by user interface devices external to the process plant, a data diode is disposed between a field-facing component and an edge-facing component of the process plant so that data flows from the field-facing component to the edge-facing component without flowing from the edge-facing component to the field-facing component.

Abstract: Storage of data that no longer has a useful life is established by the data objects' user(s) and overcomes predetermined rules required by information management policies. An illustrative data agent may receive instructions from an illustrative storage manager to perform secondary copy operations for certain data objects. The instructions may instruct that expiry-marked data objects are to be treated based on parsing each data object's user-supplied expiry timeframe. The illustrative system (i) will delete expired data objects including expired secondary copies; (ii) will refrain from making secondary copies of expired data objects; and (iii) if an expiry-marked data object is not expired, the illustrative system will make secondary copies according to the instructions, but will track those expiry-marked secondary copies for future deletion after they expire, (iv) and will delete expired secondary copies even if the original expiry-marked data object has been deleted from the system prior to its expiration.

Abstract: A method for entity validation of a content originator includes identifying a content post in a public forum viewable by a user, where an entity claims to be an originator of the content post. The method also includes, responsive to gathering metadata for the content post, determining, utilizing natural language processing and a classification algorithm, a topic for the content post based on a plurality of extracted words from the content post. The method also includes identifying a plurality of similar content posts relative to the content post based on the topic and the entity and determining a score for the entity claiming to be the originator of the content post, where the score represents a likelihood that the claimed entity is the originator of the content post. The method also includes, responsive to the score being below a verification threshold value, performing ameliorative actions on the content post.

The computing device is further configured to receive, via the alignment GUI, user inputted permissions associated with the user micro-catalog entry. The permissions define permissible third-party communications associated with the user micro-catalog entry. The computing device is further configured to display, in the alignment GUI, the user micro-catalog entry, and present, via the alignment GUI, a third-party communication authorized by the permissions.

Abstract: In response to a folder event received for a first folder, a first work item is dequeued from an ID queue and metadata of the first folder, and immediate children of the first folder, is fetched and enqueued as work items in a metadata queue. If further first folder children remain to be scanned, the first work item is updated with child IDs for each immediate child of the first folder that is a folder, and it is inserted into the ID queue. In a second pass, a child ID is dequeued and metadata of immediate children of the folder associated with the child ID is fetched and enqueued as work items in the metadata queue. The second pass is repeated for all child IDs in the updated work item. This process is repeated for each generation of children of the first folder or until a specified limit is met.
