  • Patent number: 10394882
    Abstract: A search engine: (i) receives a search query including a subject-matter-describing data set, a first boundary-condition-describing data set and a second boundary-condition-describing data set; (ii) determines a first boundary condition based on the first boundary-condition-describing data set; (iii) determines a second boundary condition based on the second boundary-condition-describing data set; and (iv) finds search results that meet the following criteria: (a) apparently relate to the subject matter of the subject-matter-describing data set, and (b) apparently fall between a first boundary condition and a second boundary condition. Also, a user specifies a document, along with a search query, and the search engine uses the document to limit and/or organize the search results.

  • Patent number: 10387415
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to data arrangement management in a distributed data cluster environment of a shared pool of configurable computing resources. In the distributed data cluster environment, a set of data is monitored for a data redistribution candidate trigger. The data redistribution candidate trigger is detected with respect to the set of data. Based on the data redistribution candidate trigger, the set of data is analyzed with respect to a candidate data redistribution action. Using the candidate data redistribution action, a new data arrangement associated with the set of data is determined. Accordingly, the new data arrangement is established.

  • Patent number: 10380121
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to determine temporality of a query in order to generate a search result including a list of objects that are not only based on matching of the objects to the query but also based on temporality analysis of the query. Here, the temporality of the query can be defined as the distribution over time of the objects matching the query, i.e., the chronology histogram of the query. Such distribution can be analyzed to provide a classification of the intent of the query. Classification of the intent of the query can result either in discrete classification of the query into categories, or in continuous classification of the query which may be a scalar or vector value resulting from transformations of the chronology histogram.

  • Patent number: 10372803
    Abstract: A web page that includes content form fields may be modified to include an event observer module and an authored content module. Events generated during the authoring of content by a user are recorded by the event observer module and sent to an event server with an InteractionID. The authored content module inserts hidden fields into the form fields that are updated with the InteractionID when content is submitted to the web server. The web server provides the InteractionID in a bind request to the event server. The event server binds the content to the events used to create the content in response to the request.

  • Patent number: 10372738
    Abstract: Providing a speculative search result for a search query prior to completion of the search query is described. In response to receiving a search query from a client node, a speculative search result is provided to the client node for the search query prior to receiving an indication from the client node that said search query is completely formed. The speculative search result may be displayed on the same web page on the client node as the search query, while the search query is being entered by the user. As the user further enters the search query, a new speculative search result may be provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 10303678
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to using a database driver to manage application resiliency with respect to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. A transaction request having a set of command data is received. The set of command data for the transaction request is captured in a memory device coupled with the database driver. The transaction request is connected with a first asset of the shared pool of configurable computing resources. An error event is detected related to the first asset. It is ascertained that the error event indicates a configuration for an automatic client reroute (ACR) operation. Using the ACR operation, the transaction request is connected with a second asset of the shared pool of configurable computing resources. The set of command data for the transaction request is transmitted from the memory device coupled with the database driver to the second asset.

  • Patent number: 10289607
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, automatic modification-triggered transfer of a file among two or more computer systems associated with a user. In some embodiments, a copy of a first file may be received, via a first application at a first computer system, from a second application at a second computer system associated with a user. The first file copy may be automatically received from the second application responsive to the user modifying a content of the first file, where the first file copy is a version of the first file that is generated from the user modifying the content of the first file. Responsive to receiving the first file copy from the second computer system, the first file copy may be automatically transferred via the first application to a third computer system associated with the user to replace an older version of the first file stored on the third computer system.

  • Patent number: 10268639
    Abstract: Techniques to process a query and perform a join of tables that are distributed across nodes of a network. The join can be performed by analyzing a Where clause. An active flag structure can have flag values that identify table entries satisfying criteria of the Where clause. Keys of surviving entries of a first table can be used to generate a request for a second table to be joined. The request can be for second flags for the second table when the Where clause has criteria for the second table. A response can be used to update the first flags to change a first flag to False. After updating, data can be retrieved for first flags that are True. Requests can use identifiers associated with the first table that identify a location for sending the request, e.g., using RDMA or MPI.

  • Patent number: 10262030
    Abstract: A data recipe may be automatically generated to provide requested information to a user. After the information is requested, one or more data sources may be interrogated to discover a plurality of data types of data stored in the data sources. The data types may be categorized to define a plurality of data recipe ingredients that are likely to be needed to provide the requested information. The data recipe ingredients may be compared with a reference data recipe. Based on the results of the comparison, a new data recipe that provides the requested information may be made by either modifying the reference data recipe or by proceeding independently of the reference data recipe. The new data recipe may, for example, calculate a key performance indicator used to measure organizational performance.

  • Patent number: 10229223
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for extracting subgraphs from a multigraph with approximation. The mechanism receives a multigraph and a relevance function and a pattern generation component executing within the data processing system searches the multigraph for occurrences of at least one pattern based on an approximation function. A relevance computation component executing within the data processing system determines a relevance measure for the multigraph based on the relevance function and the occurrences of the at least one pattern. The mechanism provides output of relevant patterns based on the occurrences of the at least one pattern.

  • Patent number: 10229379
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a checklist function integrated with a process flow model. The process checklist utilizes a semi-automated visual approach to cover processes specific to a user and/or enterprise. A model of the process is generated and stored, for example utilizing an input template in XML format and according to the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard. Next, instances corresponding to runs of the mapped processes are created. Various internal documents can be linked together within a process instance, thereby allowing enterprises to define different relationships between documents independent of product-wide implementation and database complexity. In some embodiments the process models may be accessed interactively in a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get manner, without being machine executed. This allows for relatively loose process definition/modelling, fostering interpretation reliant upon user intuition.
