  • Patent number: 11386294
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to data harvesting for machine learning model training. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a network data collection system can identify a target data source location from which to harvest data for a machine learning system to utilize during a machine learning model training process. The data can be associated with a plurality of mobile communications devices operating in communication with at least one base station of a mobile communications network that serves the target data source location. The network data collection system can collect the data and provide the data to the machine learning system. The machine learning system, in turn, can create a training data set for use during the machine learning model training process based, at least in part, upon the data.

  • Publication number: 20210258232
    Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for varying the aggregation periods for data flows relative to the values of the data contained in the flows. For instance, in one example, a method includes intercepting a first flow and a second flow traversing a communications network, assigning a first value to the first flow and a second value to the second flow, wherein the first value is higher than the second value, aggregating the first flow into a first database record according to a first aggregation period, aggregating the second flow into a second database record according to a second aggregation period that is longer than the first aggregation period, and storing the first database record and the second database record in a database.

  • Publication number: 20170329620
    Abstract: A graphical data type inference transparently transforms a legacy text-oriented command line interface (CLI) into a graphic-oriented or graphic-aware CLI (G-CLI). A user fuses graphical references with the legacy scripting language by identifying objects using syntax familiar to the user. The objects are presented to the user via a user interface and may be queried/selected by the user. The user issues commands on the selected objects by referencing the graphical selection in a command line within a shell. The graphical selection in short hand is translated into a form operable by a server or computer. The syntax of the legacy command language is extended with operators that operate entirely within the G-CLI. Consequently, the command line used in the shell has an existing operation set, as well as new graphic-based operations.

  • Publication number: 20170154190
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products secure access to a file system. A directory is established in a hierarchical file structure having access permission defined by a first owner. A subdirectory is established in the directory. A sub-level subdirectory is established in the subdirectory having access permissions defined by a second owner. The subdirectory is publically accessible to anyone satisfying the access permission defined by the first owner, such that a change directory system call is executed for a user in the subdirectory, even though the user has not authenticated the access permission defined by the second owner.

  • Patent number: 8682858
    Abstract: Database table aggregation is implemented by a method that includes encoding first and second components via a waveform definition, the first and second components specifying criteria for aggregating data, and the first component is defined to provide data aggregation at a higher granularity than the second component. The method also includes generating a complex waveform representing the components in a pattern corresponding to the waveform definition and criteria, which spans a first axis indicative of a time period for the aggregation. The method includes providing a byte count for aggregated data stored in a first table defined by the criteria, aggregating the data for the time period, and updating the complex waveform to reflect results of the aggregation that includes generating a waveform representing a second table along a second axis depicted at a location corresponding to a time in which the data aggregation for the first table was initiated.

  • Patent number: 8610541
    Abstract: A method and system for monitoring one or more wireless channels of an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) network are disclosed. For example, the method reads one or more RFID reference tags periodically to obtain RFID reference tag reading results for each time interval. The method then processes the RFID reference tag reading results for monitoring the one or more wireless channels of the RFID network.

  • Patent number: 8275751
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for database table aggregation are provided. A method includes encoding first and second components via a waveform definition, the first and second components specifying first and second criteria, respectively, for aggregating data. The method includes generating a complex periodic aggregation waveform (CPAW) having variable-sized square waves representing the components in a repeating pattern corresponding to the definition and the criteria, and which spans a first axis. The method includes providing a maximum byte count for aggregated data stored in a table defined by the first and/or second criteria, aggregating the data in accordance with the criteria, and creating a new table for overflow of data determined for the table when the maximum byte count is exceeded. The method includes updating the CPAW with results of the aggregation and generating a waveform representing the new table along a second axis.
