  • Publication number: 20130086034
    Abstract: Example systems and methods of processing a data search request are presented. In one example, a data search request including a plurality of constraints is received. Each of the plurality of constraints is of one of a plurality of constraint types. At least one of the plurality of constraints of a first constraint type is expanded to one or more constraints of at least one other constraint type. A plurality of search definitions is formulated utilizing the plurality of constraints. Each of the plurality of search definitions includes a unique constraint set excluding at least one of the plurality of constraints. A plurality of searches is performed using the plurality of search definitions to generate a plurality of search results. Data item counts corresponding to the search definitions are calculated. The data item counts and the corresponding search definitions are communicated to a client machine.

  • Patent number: 8332383
    Abstract: A method and system to process a data search request. The system includes a query controller module to receive the data search request that includes constraints; a reduced constraint builder module to formulate a plurality of search definitions that are formulated to exclude at least one constraint; and a search engine to perform searches of a data source to generate search results and to utilize the search results to calculate counts of data items that respectively correspond to the search definitions. The query controller module communicates the counts of data items and the corresponding search definitions to a client machine. Each of the search definitions is formulated to include a constraint set.

  • Publication number: 20100161399
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems to process transactions in a networked communication system, including cash back rebate eligible transactions. Some embodiments provide for distributed risk analysis of transactions, such as to provide for a probability analysis of transaction completion at a payment server. The payment server then makes a recommendation for reward timing or payout of a cash back reward.

  • Publication number: 20090254881
    Abstract: Techniques for using a declarative programming language to automatically generate imperative language computer programs (such as the get, set, enable, and disable commands of the Windows® PowerShell scripting language) that perform administrative tasks of computing environments. A code generator 150 is operative to process a declarative language document, which includes at least three hierarchically-related data structures. The first data structure references certain administrative commands; the second data structure references parameters accepted by the commands; and the third data structure provides pointers to configuration data associated with the parameters. The document is processed in accordance with a set of rules to produce imperative-language execution routines that call sub-routines and pass variables thereto, which enables differences between parameters and configuration data to be mitigated through mapping.

  • Publication number: 20080201312
    Abstract: A system for parallel processing of a database query in a multi-core processor is disclosed. The system includes a core database instance and a main database instance. The core database instance includes a local storage manager, a local page manager, and a core stream processing component. The local storage manager is configured to convert a record request into a page request. The local page manager is communicatively connected to the local storage manager and is configured to receive and route the page request. The core stream processing component is communicatively connected to the local storage manager and is configured to send a record request to the local storage manager, process a record stream received from the local storage manager and output a processed record stream.

  • Publication number: 20070192301
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for searching a data structure is disclosed. A first node on the data structure is examined. A determination is made as to whether the first node is associated with one or more child nodes. When the first node not associated with one or more child nodes, elements within the first node that are located within a defined distance away from a defined location rendered on the first node are identified. The identified elements are stored in a data set. The nodal radius cut-off value is updated if the value is less than a difference of one half a radius of the first node and a distance from the defined location to the center point of the first node. The first node is labeled to indicate that the node has been examined.

  • Publication number: 20040078214
    Abstract: A method and system of providing listing recommendations to users of a network-based commerce system including a plurality of listings arranged in a plurality of divisions is described. The method includes identifying a division of the plurality of divisions based on user interaction with the network-based commerce system, and identifying at least one frequently used search term associated with the division. A link is provided to the user to listings associated with the frequently used search term. The search terms may be ranked by retrieving frequently used search terms from a first memory location and determining a number of listings in each division associated with each frequently used search term. Each frequently used search term may then be ranked based on the number of listings in each division.
