Abstract: A system stores a composite vector index based on vector fields and scalar fields. Each vector field comprises vector embeddings and each scalar field comprises scalar values. The values of a vector field are grouped as cells having a centroid value. The system receives a query based on at least a vector field and a scalar field. The system identifies a set of centroids of cells of the vector field based on the query and accesses records from the cells corresponding to the set of centroids. The system determines a subset of records of the cells corresponding to the set of centroids that satisfy a constraint based on the scalar fields specified in the query. The system determines a result set based on the subset of records by performing vector comparisons for the subset of records. The system accordingly reduces the number of vector operations performed for processing queries.

Abstract: An approach talking about orthogonal frequency hopping patterns definition and a unique way of defining hopping patterns for a time division multiple access (TDMA) wireless sensor networks doing frequency hopping. A frequency hopping pattern may cover virtually any frequency usage for each sensor and handle interference in wireless medium reliably. One may define various orthogonal hopping patterns which are non-interfered between multiple sensor networks present in the same vicinity. One may use TDMA networks for frequency hopping. To make the communication of multiple FTDMA wireless networks work concurrently without much packet collision with greater than 99 percent reliability, one may devise a unique way of generating a frequency hopping pattern (FHP) scheme in various licensed and license free frequency bands. An FHP may be a sequence of n frequencies which is followed by the whole wireless mesh, and the sequence keeps repeating after the nth time slot.
