  • Patent number: 10693494
    Abstract: A computing device may select a plurality of data sets, determine a set of strings that are included in at least two data sets of the plurality of data sets, and select a particular string of the set of strings. The computing device may replace each occurrence of the particular string in the plurality of data sets to create a modified plurality of data sets such that the modified plurality of data sets is smaller in size than the plurality of data sets. The computing device may assign a reference to the particular string and replace each occurrence of the particular string in the plurality of data sets to create a plurality of modified data sets. The computing device may replace may store the reference and the particular string in a table.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10310833
    Abstract: A parallel diagnostic/software installation system includes a computing device, a server device storing computing device software, and a software staging device that is coupled to the server device through a first connection that provides a first maximum transmission rate, and that is coupled to the computing device through a second connection that provides a second maximum transmission rate that is faster than the first transmission maximum rate. The software staging device receives a manifest of computing device software for installation on the computing device and then retrieves, from the server device through the first connection, at least a portion of the computing device software while the computing device is performing a diagnostic test on a first hardware configuration of the computing device. The software staging devices determines that the diagnostic test has completed and, in response, provides, to the computing device through the second connection, the computing device software.
