Abstract: Technologies for grouping images, and ranking the images and the groupings, based on entities shown in the images. Images may be grouped based on faces shown in the images. Different images with faces that indicate the same entity (e.g., Adam) may be automatically grouped together. Different images with faces that indicate the same multiple entities (e.g., the people in my family) may also be automatically grouped together. Such automatic grouping may be based on facial recognition technologies. Further, images and groups of images may be automatically ranked based on the faces shown and entities represented. Such rankings may also be influenced by adjacent data that indicates family and friends and the like, and that can be used to identify such entities in the images.

Abstract: A method includes integrating a file system recovery log layer in a file system. The file system buffers data in a cyclical manner, and transforms all incoming random requests into a series of synchronous sequential updates. The method determines a length value of a write transaction byte-range for a received write transaction. Upon the length value exceeding a threshold value, data for the write transaction byte-range is written to permanent storage in the file system. Upon the length value being less than the threshold value, the data for the write transaction byte-range is written to a recovery log that is stored in the file system recovery log layer. The threshold value is changed dynamically while the file system is mounted.

Error checking, type checking, autocomplete, and preview tools may be provided to permit the verification of the transform script as it is created.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of storing a data object in a computer memory, wherein the data object is stored at a location in an object store as a portion of the memory, the location being determined by a hashing process based on a generated hash key, the memory further storing: a set of binary words in which each bit of each word identifies an occupancy state of a location in the object store such that an occupancy state of all locations is stored in the set of binary words; and a truncated hash key set storing, for each occupied location in the object store, a truncated hash key for a data object stored at the location, wherein the hashing process uses linear probing in which an occupancy of the location in the object store for storage of the data object is determined, wherein the occupancy is determined by reference to the set of binary words, and the linear probing further determines identity of the data object and an object stored in an occupied location, the identity being determined based on a compar

Abstract: Time-varying scent determined by audio-meaningful events, such as gun firing, in an audio signal is generated by first computing a spectrogram thereof. A fingerprint, each having feature points, can be extracted from the spectrogram over a time window. The plurality of feature points is hashed to give a hash code. A sequence of hash codes obtained over multiple time windows is correlated with predetermined hash-code segments of known audio-meaningful events stored in a database. A matched audio-meaningful event having a highest correlation is identified. The scent-generating recipe corresponding to the matched audio-meaningful event is retrieved. Atomizers are used to vaporize scent-generating substances to generate the time-variant scent. Since the hash code has a fixed length and a smaller size than the plurality of feature points, storage requirements of the database and computation requirements of correlation calculation are reduced by using the hash code rather than the plurality of feature points.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and system for electronic workflow management having a central server that periodically scans data accessible to multiple computers and data interacted with by different users to generate a nodal data structure comprising of interrelated nodes where each node corresponds to a workflow component, such as files, messages, tasks, and the like. The server then executes various analytical protocols to identify and link/merge nodes corresponding to related content. The server then allows a user to customize graphical user interfaces where the server arranges the content of each graphical user interface based on their corresponding relationships within the nodal data structure.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a file describing characteristics for delivery of a creative on a video delivery system. The file is queried to identify elements in the string that define metadata. The string is written in a structural language and defines characteristics for the delivery of the creative. The method retrieves tag metadata for tags that define structural elements and validates the tag metadata based on a first specification. Media file metadata is obtained for a media file based on a link to the media file and the media file metadata is validated based on a second specification. The method outputs a result based on the validations. The creative is eligible for insertion during a break of streaming a main video on the video delivery system when the tag metadata and the media file metadata are validated.
