  • Patent number: 11693900
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing segments of audio broadcasts in responses to user queries. The segments are provided, for example, in real time, with the segments being precise segments responsive to the search query or other search request, located, isolated, and provided to the requesting party or entity. The queried audio segments are found by matching a medium, known as a “word cloud”, obtained based on the query, with audio segments, obtained based on the query. The word cloud is continuously updated with time relevant terms, associated with the subject of the word cloud. The word cloud is applied to the audio segment to obtain the most relevant audio segments, which are resegmented from the audio segment.

  • Patent number: 11687265
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for incremental snapshot copy to an object store. A list of deallocated block numbers of primary storage of a computing device are identified. Entries for the list of deallocated block numbers are removed from a mapping metafile. A list of changed block numbers corresponding to changes between a current snapshot of the primary storage and a prior copied snapshot copied from the primary storage to the object store is determined. The mapping metafile is evaluated using the list of changed block numbers to identify a deduplicated set of changed block numbers without entries within the mapping metafile. An object, comprising data of the deduplicated set of changed block numbers, is transmitted to the object store for storage as a new copied snapshot.

  • Patent number: 11632125
    Abstract: A method of compressive read mapping. A high-resolution homology table is created for the reference genomic sequence, preferably by mapping the reference to itself. Once the homology table is created, the reads are compressed to eliminate full or partial redundancies across reads in the dataset. Preferably, compression is achieved through self-mapping of the read dataset. Next, a coarse mapping from the compressed read data to the reference is performed. Each read link generated represents a cluster of substrings from one or more reads in the dataset and stores their differences from a locus in the reference. Preferably, read links are further expanded to obtain final mapping results through traversal of the homology table, and final mapping results are reported. As compared to prior techniques, substantial speed-up gains are achieved through the compressive read mapping technique due to efficient utilization of redundancy within read sequences as well as the reference.

  • Patent number: 11620281
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for tracking a series of changes to database data are disclosed. A method includes executing a transaction to modify data in a micro-partition of a table of a database by generating a new micro-partition that embodies the transaction. The method includes associating transaction data with the new micro-partition, wherein the transaction data comprises a timestamp when the transaction was fully executed, and further includes associating modification data with the new micro-partition that comprises an indication of one or more rows of the table that were modified by the transaction. The method includes joining the transaction data with the modification data to generate joined data and querying the joined data to determine a listing of intermediate modifications made to the table between a first timestamp and a second timestamp.

  • Patent number: 11620265
    Abstract: A hybrid dynamic database schema is described. The schema is a hybrid of both horizontal and vertical database schema, in that, while a vertical schema has only one dimension—dimension value pair per table/record, the hybrid schema of the present invention provides for multiple dimension—dimension value pairs per table/record. The schema provides for additional fields, so called “DimSet” fields, with each additional field comprising one and typically multiple dimension—dimension value pairs. Thus, while a vertical database schema can only perform aggregation/segregation using one isolated dimension—dimension pair, the hybrid schema of the present invention is capable of performing multiple aggregations/segregation processes simultaneously (i.e., in parallel) using the multiple dimension fields. The dynamic nature of the database schema is realized by the ability of the schema to support various different additional fields (i.e.

  • Patent number: 11593381
    Abstract: Pre-computed query results stored at a database server are re-computed by a computation machine. The pre-computed query results are composed of a plurality of shares. Each share includes a certain number of pre-computed query results. The computation resources of the computation machine needed to re-compute a pre-computed query result of a first share depend on whether or not other pre-computed query results of the first share are re-computed during a given time interval forming a current re-computation cycle. The computation machine receives a request to re-compute pre-computed query results of at least a first share, determines a number of pre-computed query results in the first share to be re-computed in the current re-computation cycle based on a Reinforcement Learning algorithm, and re-computes the determined number of pre-computed query results in the first share.
