Patent number: 11625373Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for determining changes to database tables. In an embodiment, the method comprises loading a first group of records in a first time period in a database; loading a second group of records in a second time period in the database; selecting one or more of the records in the database; and for each of the selected records, determining whether it was loaded into the database during the first time period or the second time period, and providing the each record with a specified designation based on the time period during which the each record was loaded into the database. In an embodiment, identified times when the records were loaded in the database are used to determine the time period during which the each record was loaded in the database.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donnie Allen Smith, Jr., Kenneth L. Greenlee, Venkatapathi Rao Kaka, Sahil Arora, Mukesh Kumar

Publication number: 20220414535Abstract: A system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include receiving data, mapping a plurality of features to a plurality of attributes of the data, and generating a feature-to-attribute map based on said mapping. The operations may further include submitting new data to a feature calculation loop and implementing the feature calculation loop. The operations may also include tracking the features in the feature calculation loop, identifying a changed feature in the features, and recalculating for the changed feature using the feature calculation loop.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Chintan Rajyaguru, Donnie Allen Smith, JR., Jeffrey N. Eisen, Willie Robert Patten, JR.

Patent number: 8570159Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for manifest integrity management via radio frequency identification (RFID). 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: GrantFiled: October 23, 2009Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Vijay Kumar Bhadriraju, Thomas Tim Hanis, Frederick William Rowe, John Kenneth Senegal, Donnie Allen Smith, Jr.

Patent number: 7616093Abstract: For reducing the frequency with which RFID transponders are read in an RFID system, the RFID system logs a timestamp associated with each read of an RFID transponder along with the tag ID and reader identifier. The timestamp associated with each log entry is monitored with respect to an expiration value so that expired log entries may be identified. When a log entry is determined to be expired, other elements of the RFID system are notified of the associated tag ID and reader identifier, and the storage occupied by the expired log entry is freed.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2007Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Donnie Allen Smith, Jr.

Publication number: 20090214005Abstract: An embodiment of this invention provides a secure, integrated and hierarchical database to store phone numbers of services, along with personal protected information required by the service. This hierarchical data is stored for an individual or a group of individuals and will be made available when they place a call to one of the service phone numbers stored in the application. One of the solutions described in this disclosure allows a user to register frequently-used phone numbers, and any personal data required by the associated services, on a web site under a password protected account associated with the user. The user(s) can access this information by dialing a phone number. This way, the enrolled users can place a call to any registered phone number by first calling a predetermined number and then navigating to the desired number.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Inventors: Vijay Kumar Bhadriraju, Donnie Allen Smith, JR.
