  • Patent number: 10372781
    Abstract: Heuristic caching techniques are used to improve application usability within the constraints of computing resources. A user's behavior in connection with an application is recorded and used to intelligently determine which transitions of a user interface of the application to cache. In addition, the user may have one or more characteristics. Such characteristics may also be used to identify other users so that the other users' behavior in connection with the application can be used for intelligently determining which transitions of the user interface to cache.

  • Patent number: 10169763
    Abstract: Techniques, including systems are methods, for analyzing data from multiple sources are disclosed and suggested herein. In an embodiment, information from one or more information sources is received. The received information is stored in one or more data stores that collectively implement one or more ontologies. One or more conditions are applied to the information in the one or more data stores to determine a conclusion.

  • Patent number: 9569725
    Abstract: Techniques for enforcing policies. A set of data is stored in one or more data stores. A plurality of semantic concepts for an ontology are defined and a map is constructed from the set of data to the concepts. The map is executed in order to transform data from the set of data to a second set of data. The second set of data is stored according to the ontology. The second set of data is reasoned in order to determine compliance with one or more policies.

  • Patent number: 9449034
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing policies. In an embodiment, first data is stored in a first data store according to a first schema. A second schema is defined based at least in part on a policy and an ontology. Second data, which includes at least a portion of the first data, is stored in a second data store according to the second schema. Storing the second data is based at least in part on a mapping of the first schema to the second schema. At least a portion of the second data is analyzed and results of the analysis are provided to a user.

  • Patent number: 8805768
    Abstract: Techniques, including systems and methods, for generating data are disclosed and suggested herein. Original data used in connection with one or more applications is analyzed in order to determine one or more distribution characteristics for the original data. The distribution characteristics are used to generate data that is similarly distributed. The generated data may be used as seed data for demonstrating, testing, or otherwise using one or more applications.

  • Patent number: 8241607
    Abstract: This invention relates to compositions, methods utilizing fructose and other monosaccharides for the diagnosis of cancer. Cancer cells have shown a higher level of fructose utilization as compared to glucose. Further, cancer cells have shown a preferential use of fructose for nucleic acid synthesis. The present invention takes advantage of these features and provides for fructose or fructose-based compositions for the diagnosis of cancer using imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography.
