Abstract: This is a platform with improved methods and systems for creating, running, joining, viewing and participating in fishing tournaments. It includes a client-side tournament application running on electronic devices that accesses a central server. It uses the client-side tournament application to document fish submissions, resulting in validated fish submissions displayed on live leaderboards with authentic fish media from a trusted source. It prevents cheating in multiple forms and makes it easier to verify said fish submissions. It includes a method for creating tournaments including single-species or multi-species tournaments with complex leaderboard characteristics, while keeping it easy for a participant to enter a fish. The platform makes it easier to run tournaments in wider geographical areas and for longer durations than tournaments have typically ran in the past. Said tournaments are easier to run and better for fish.

Abstract: A system and method for performing real-time analytics detection where a current profile update is derived from a current incoming transaction for an entity and stored in a profile update table, an up-to-date profile for the entity is derived from the most recent profile stored in a profile table and from all recent profile updates stored in the profile update table for the entity which are more recent than the last time the most recent profile was last updated, the up-to-date profile is utilized to perform the detection, and, the current profile is updated in a consistent manner, without utilizing an update lock on the profile table, by only updating the profile in the profile table based on the recent profile updates which are earlier than a current time minus a synchronization period which is larger than a maximum potential time difference between different clocks in the system.

Abstract: Social media users are subject to harassment when unwanted offending content reaches them. Social media companies are reluctant to police content. The Emakia system provides a solution at the point where incoming real-time data are received. The Emakia system proposes to use sets of Machine Learning classifiers to filter text, images, audio, and video. Classifiers are trained with labeled data. After training, the model is used to screen the incoming real-time data. On the user mobile device, only approved content is displayed. The unwanted data are still available if the user desires to access them. The system provides multiple classifiers and customized models to the individual user. When harassment content is detected a report is sent to an entity who can help support the receiver.

Abstract: A method includes receiving trace data representing access information about files stored in a large-scale distributed storage system, identifying file access patterns based on the trace data, receiving metadata information associated with the files stored in the large-scale distributed storage system, and generating a preferred storage parameter for each file based on the received metadata information and the identified file access patterns. The method also includes receiving, file reliability or accessibility information of a new file, determining whether the received file reliability or accessibility information of the new file matches information of a file group of the files in the large-scale distributed storage system, and when the file reliability or accessibility information of the new file matches the information of the file group, storing the new file in the large-scale distributed storage system using the preferred storage parameter associated with the file group.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for editing a file information system of a host device by using a client device connected to the host device via a Near Field Communication (NFC) channel while maintaining the foreground-running application execution screen of the host device. A method for managing a file information system of a host device by using a client device according to the present invention includes establishing a near field communication channel between the client device and the host device; copying the file information system from the host device to the client device; editing, at the client device, the file information system by means of an application selected in the file information system; and updating the file information system stored in the host device with the edited file information system which is transmitted from the client device to the host device.

Abstract: The disclosure relates a method to encode Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) as linked networks of blocks, with each block containing the fingerprints of preceding blocks in the form of their hashes. This results in the DAG being represented by a series of blocks sequentially connected by hash pointers. This requires the hashes of every block that is an immediate predecessor to be included in a succeeding block. The blocks are associated with DAG vertices. A block may therefore have multiple succeeding blocks or multiple preceding blocks as in a DAG. The method determines the DAG starting vertices. Block creation and hash operations are subsequently performed. Successor vertices are determined, and their blocks and block hashes progressively generated when it is determined that the hashes of all blocks corresponding to preceding vertices have been generated. This continues until all DAG vertices have been processed and are associated with a block.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for collecting, processing, classifying, structuring, transforming, relating, creating & linking audio recordings and reporting filtered data related to US FDA Warning Letters and Individual Citations for users to get regulatory intelligence from a database. Data is collected from multiple sources including FDA website. Individual Citations are parsed, isolated from their parent Warning Letters and subclassified to enable meaningful searches for users to assess regulatory compliance risks. Single topic records are created for each Individual Citation that is related to its corresponding Product Type, System, FDA Guidance for industry, Inspector name, 21 CFR section, Country, Company and Date of Warning Letter. Audio recordings are created for Individual Citations and Individual Warning Letter contents for listening purposes and integrated with the database.

The invention provides for when data is added to a container system, collecting information from the data item and any pre-existing metadata, matching the information to a container using the container's rules, and if any matching containers are found, filing of the data item proceeds into any candidate locations.

Abstract: Setting up and supporting the computer infrastructure for a remote satellite office is a difficult task for any information technology department. To simplify the task, an integrated server system with a hierarchical storage system is proposed. The hierarchical storage system includes the ability to store data at an off-site cloud storage service. The server system is remotely configurable and thus allows the server to be configured and populated with data from a remote location.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards the visualization of machine data received from computing clusters. Embodiments may enable improved analysis of computing cluster performance, error detection, troubleshooting, error prediction, or the like. Individual cluster nodes may generate machine data that includes information and data regarding the operation and status of the cluster node. The machine data is received from each cluster node for indexing by one or more indexing applications. The indexed machine data including the complete data set may be stored in one or more index stores. A visualization application enables a user to select one or more analysis lenses that may be used to generate visualizations of the machine data. The visualization application employs the analysis lens to produce visualizations of the computing cluster machine data.
