Patent number: 11620260Abstract: Data synchronization includes receiving an update request from a client system for a first record set, wherein the update request includes search criteria used to initially determine the first record set and hash summaries of records of the first record set, and searching a data storage device for records matching the search criteria. The searching generates a second record set of records having hash summaries. Record identifiers of records of the second record set may be compared with record identifiers of the hash summaries of the first record set.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kenneth L. Greenlee, Thomas T. Hanis, Sunil K. Mishra, Donnie A. Smith, Jr.

Patent number: 10346440Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for efficient searching of a semantic model of resources and resource relationships. A query is received from an application. In turn the query is processed to determine an application usage classification for the application, which is then used to reference an index of subsets of the semantic model to identify a subset of the semantic model associated with the application usage classification. The identified subset of the semantic model is then used to modify the query, which is then used as a modified query to query the semantic model. In response, a sub-graph of the semantic model corresponding to the subset of the semantic mode is received, which in turn is provided to the application.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2015Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas T. Hanis, Eoin Lane, Donnie A. Smith, Jr.

Patent number: 9631356Abstract: A monitoring and alert methodology ascertains conditions that may result in a combined sewer overflow (CSO) event. The method employs a semantic model of a combined sewer system that includes specification information describing the components of the combined sewer system. Sensors distributed throughout the components of the combined sewer system sense operating parameter information for those components. A monitoring and alerting (MA) information handling system (IHS) receives operating parameter information from the sensors. The MA IHS analyzes the operating parameter information received from the sensors together with the specification information in the semantic model of the combined sewer system to determine if a combined sewer overflow (CSO) event is possible. The MA IHS generates an alert to provide notification of a possible CSO event if the MA IHS determines that a CSO event is possible. In this manner, an operator may take early corrective action before a CSO event occurs.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventors: Pamela A Nesbitt, Jake Palmer, Donnie Smith, Jr.

Publication number: 20120101956Abstract: Advance shipment data associated with a shipment is received at an inventory controller device. The advance shipment data is verified. A data collection model is generated based upon the advance shipment data. The generated data collection model is stored within a memory. The shipment is autonomously validated by the inventory controller device using the generated data collection model in response to receipt of the shipment. An indication of a target storage location within a receiving facility is generated for each container of the validated shipment using a defined location topology model of the receiving facility including available storage locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2010Publication date: April 26, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Bruce H.

Publication number: 20110095872Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to assuring manifest integrity for a shipping container of objects and provide a method, system and computer program product for manifest integrity management via radio frequency identification (RFID). In an embodiment of the invention, a manifest integrity management method can include scanning different RFID tags affixed to different objects for placement in a container. The method also can include determining both common data for all of the different RFID tags, and unique data for each of the different RFID tags. Finally, the method can include encoding an RFID tag for the container with an entry for the common data for the different RFID tags, and each unique data for each of the different RFID tags. In this way, a manifest can be created for the objects in the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2009Publication date: April 28, 2011Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Vijay K.

Publication number: 20100274856Abstract: A query is sent, from a message sender to a message recipient, asking for a maximum size of incoming messages that is acceptable to the message recipient. If a proposed message from the message sender to the message recipient exceeds the maximum size, then the proposed message is ameliorated by size before being sent to the message recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2009Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: VIJAY K.
