Abstract: Techniques herein are for sharing data structures. In embodiments, a computer obtains a directed object graph (DOG) containing objects and pointers interconnecting the objects. Each object pointer (OP) resides in a source object and comprises a memory address (MA) of a target object (TO). An original address space (OAS) contains the MA of the TO. The objects are not contiguous within the OAS. The DOG resides in original memory segment(s). The computer obtains an additional memory segment (AMS) beginning at a base address. The computer records the base address within the AMS. For each object in the DOG, the computer copies the object into the AMS at a respective address. For each OP in the DOG having the object as the TO of the MA of the OP, the computer replaces the MA of the OP with the respective address. AMS contents are provided in another address space.

Abstract: Techniques for counting event changes with archived relations are provided. In some examples, a query that identifies at least a data object may be identified. Additionally, the query may be evaluated against historical data associated with the data object. Additionally, in some instances, a listening service may be registered with the data object. Further, the query may be evaluated based at least in part on the data object and the historical data.

Abstract: A method may include receiving a continuous query identified by an archived relation associated with an application. The method may also include generating a physical query plan. Additionally, the method may include constructing a structured query language (SQL) equivalent expression corresponding to an attribute utilized by the operator and/or constructing an output SQL expression for the identified operator based at least in part on the SQL equivalent expression. Additionally, the method may include constructing the archiver query for the identified operator based at least in part on the output SQL expression. Further, the method may include executing the archiver query to obtain a result set of data records related to the application and/or generating a snapshot output of one or more data values related to the application based at least in part on the result set of data records.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing mechanisms for chaining continuous queries are provided. In some examples, results of a first continuous query may be stored in a data object. For example, the first continuous query may be configured to process business event data and store the results in the data object. Additionally, a second continuous query may then be processed based at least in part on the results stored in the data object.

Abstract: Online conferencing involving video and audio in which automatic actions such as recording and broadcasting is performed by adding a visualized representation of the action into the online conference area of a user interface. The action appears as a visualization in the contacts portion of the user interface, some of which contacts may represent individuals that may be joined into a conference. Recording or broadcasting the action may thus be efficiently performed in a consistent manner as how individuals are added into an online conference, thereby taking advantage of muscle memory of the participant.

Abstract: An online conferencing system that provides fine-grained control over recording of the online conference. A participant manager component detects current participants in an online conference. A video gathering component gathers video streams for each of at least some of the current participants in the online conference. A triggering component allows one or more of the participants to trigger operation of a recording component. The recording component identifies one or more of the gather video streams to record, and records the identified one or more video streams. The recording component may have fine-grained control over the recording process. If a participant joins the conference, that video from the new participant may be automatically recorded also. If a participant leaves a conference, the recording of that video may be stopped.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention includes a method of processing streaming data. The method includes initializing a stream of data and setting a time interval to apply to the stream of data. The time interval comprises a window for analyzing the data within the stream of data. The method further includes identifying one or more columns within the stream of data, designating one or more of the columns to be monitored for differences within the data over the time interval, and monitoring the designated columns over the time interval. Further, the method includes determining that at least one value from at least one of the designated columns has changed and in response to at least one value changing, outputting the changed values from the designated columns.

Abstract: Techniques herein are for sharing data structures between processes. A method involves obtaining a current memory segment that begins at a current base address within a current address space. The current memory segment comprises a directed object graph and a base pointer. The graph comprises object pointers and objects. For each particular object, determine whether a different memory segment contains an equivalent object that is equivalent to the particular object. If the equivalent object exists, for each object pointer having the particular object as its target object, replace the memory address of the object pointer with a memory address of the equivalent object that does not reside in the current memory segment. Otherwise, for each object pointer having the particular object as its target object, increment the memory address of the object pointer by an amount that is a difference between the current base address and the original base address.

For example, the first source may include a database or other system that can provide historical data. Additionally, the query engine may be enabled to provide query results based at least in part on the relational data from at least the first source and streaming data from at least a second source. In some examples, the second source may be a data stream.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system that delivers content (e.g. multimedia video), and analyzes and aggregates feedback of a user viewing the content. The user may interact with the multimedia video in the form of answering questions which are dynamically placed between video segments. The system may determine the response type of the user for a given question. The system may handle both positive and negative responses (e.g. correct and incorrect responses to questions). The system may help the user navigate the segments of the video.

Abstract: The biosynthesis of fungal bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane indole alkaloids with a wide spectrum of biological activities have attracted increasing interest. Their intriguing mode of assembly has long been proposed to feature a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase, a presumed intramolecular Diels-Alderase, a variant number of prenyltransferases, and a series of oxidases responsible for the diverse tailoring modifications of their cyclodipeptide-based structural core. Until recently, the details of these biosynthetic pathways have remained largely unknown due to lack of information on the fungal derived biosynthetic gene clusters. Herein, we report a comparative analysis of four natural product metabolic systems of a select group of bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane indole alkaloids including (+)/(?)-notoamide, paraherquamide and malbrancheamide, in which we propose an enzyme for each step in the biosynthetic pathway based on deep annotation and on-going biochemical studies.

The current memory segment comprises a directed object graph and a base pointer. The graph comprises object pointers and objects. For each particular object, determine whether a different memory segment contains an equivalent object that is equivalent to the particular object. If the equivalent object exists, for each object pointer having the particular object as its target object, replace the memory address of the object pointer with a memory address of the equivalent object that does not reside in the current memory segment. Otherwise, for each object pointer having the particular object as its target object, increment the memory address of the object pointer by an amount that is a difference between the current base address and the original base address.
