  • Patent number: 10838784
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems using improved techniques for mapping events from user device to a cloud storage system. A computing platform, such as a cloud event mapping platform, may receive, at a task manager hosted on the computing platform, events to be processed. The computing platform may use the task manager to determine file objects corresponding to each event. The computing platform may use the task manager to determine a subset of the events to be processed by each dispatcher. The computing platform may use a first dispatcher to generate an event dispatch queue using a plurality of heuristics. After determining expiration of a delay corresponding to each event in the dispatch queue, the computing platform may dispatch each event in the dispatch queue for execution.

  • Patent number: 10824461
    Abstract: A first message from a first state transition queue is obtained by a first task executor of a virtual machine (VM) pooling service node. The operation to be performed on the VM is triggered. Whether the operation to be performed on the VM is successfully performed is determined. If it is determined that the operation to be performed on the VM is successfully performed, a second message is placed into a second state transition queue, and the second message represents the VM that is in a transitional state, the second message is obtained by a second task executor of the VM pooling service node, and whether the VM reaches a target state is determined by performing a check on the VM. Otherwise, the first message is returned to the first state transitional queue.

  • Patent number: 10817351
    Abstract: The system provides an event driven system that sits between the enterprise ecosystem and the client system. The system creates a bridge between systems that produce actionable information and systems that consume events related to that information. It coordinates data-change events between those internal microservices for the client, providing a simple, well-typed interface for change events that may drive downstream actions in a consuming service. In one embodiment, the system can intercept those messages, decorate them with client-specific configuration data, and send them to the appropriate downstream client systems, all the while tracking the state of events to provide an auditable window into the system. Events are designed to help an appropriately credentialed and authorized consuming system dynamically call the enterprise's API resources in post-processing by providing relative linking as an out-of-the-box attribute of the event messages.

  • Patent number: 10809754
    Abstract: A system for controlling energy consumption. The system may incorporate devices configured on a floor map, a monitor that detects energy consumption by each device, a heat map shown on the floor map, a processor, and a user interface having a display connected to the processor. The heat map may indicate energy consumption in various areas of the floor plan. The floor map with the heat map may be a screen on the display. The energy consumption by each of the devices from the monitor may be calculated by the processor in time that each device is active and in a power rating of the respective device. The energy consumption by each of the devices may be converted by the processor into cost. From a screen, a user may define a virtual and dynamic zone to optimize and control the energy consumption.

  • Patent number: 10810042
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improving the performance of a distributed job scheduler by dynamically splitting and distributing the work of a single job into parallelizable tasks that are executed among multiple nodes in a cluster are described. The distributed job scheduler may split a job into a plurality of tasks and assign the tasks to nodes within the cluster based on a time remaining to complete the job, an estimated time to complete the job, and a number of identified healthy nodes within the cluster. The distributed job scheduler may monitor job progress over time and adjust (e.g., increase) the number of nodes used to execute the plurality of tasks if the time remaining to complete the job falls below a threshold amount of time or if the time remaining to complete the job minus the estimated time to complete the job falls below the threshold amount of time.

  • Patent number: 10780665
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for dynamically adjusting sensors for use in compactors and receptacles. A receptacle first sends a signal from a transmitter on a first module in a receptacle to a receiver on a second module in the receptacle, wherein the first module is located on a first inner wall of the receptacle and the second module is located on a second inner wall of the receptacle, and wherein at least part of the first module and the second module is located a distance above a bin inside the receptacle. Next, the receptacle determines a signal-detection characteristic including a signal detection status or a number of signal pulses associated with a signal detection. Based on the signal-detection characteristic, the receptacle determines an operating condition of the receptacle, the operating condition including a fullness level or an obstruction level associated with the first or second sensors.

  • Patent number: 10776187
    Abstract: Methods and systems may help to provide filtered notification content that provides useful information to the intended recipient, but does not provide the same information to an unauthorized viewer. To do so, when an application event occurs, filtered notification content may be generated. The filtered notification content may combine a non-obfuscated portion of the event content and an obfuscated portion of the event content, such that when viewed by an intended recipient, the filtered notification content provides implicit information that the device expects the particular user to understand based on the user's own experience and/or other factors.

  • Patent number: 10747570
    Abstract: An improved architecture is provided which enables significant convergence of the components of a system to implement virtualization. The infrastructure is VM-aware, and permits scaled out converged storage provisioning to allow storage on a per-VM basis, while identifying I/O coming from each VM. The current approach can scale out from a few nodes to a large number of nodes. In addition, the inventive approach has ground-up integration with all types of storage, including solid-state drives. The architecture of the invention provides high availability against any type of failure, including disk or node failures. In addition, the invention provides high performance by making I/O access local, leveraging solid-state drives and employing a series of patent-pending performance optimizations.

  • Patent number: 10740511
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described herein emulating, by one or more servers on behalf of a mobile computing device, a cloud-based virtual machine. The cloud-based virtual machine may include a virtualized hardware component that provides, as virtual hardware input for a software application executing on the cloud-based virtual machine, either “genuine” virtual hardware input or “simulated” virtual hardware input. Genuine virtual hardware input may be based on an actual hardware signal received from a hardware component of the mobile computing device that corresponds to the virtualized hardware component. Simulated virtual hardware input may be generated independently of any hardware signal associated with the hardware component. Output of the software application may be interactively streamed to the mobile computing device.
