Patent number: 11727000Abstract: In certain embodiments, resource usage in a data retrieval process may be reduced. In some embodiments, a graph query related to a data request may be obtained. The graph query may be transformed into a query set based on a graph data model and patterns of the graph query. Upon generation, the query set may include queries and query operators linking the queries, where the query operators include a first query operator linking first and second queries of the queries or other query operators. Prior to execution of the first and second queries, a satisfiability issue may be predicted, where the satisfiability issue is related to combining results derived from the first and second queries. Based on the prediction, the first query operator may be removed from the query set to update the query set. The updated query set may be executed to satisfy the graph query.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: STARDOG UNIONInventors: Evren Sirin, Michael Howard Grove, Kendall Grant Clark, Pavel Klinov

Patent number: 10303688Abstract: In certain embodiments, data retrieval delays may be reduced via prediction-based generation of data subgraphs. In some embodiments, a data request may be predicted to occur in the future based on prior queries compatible with a graph data model. Based on the graph data model, one or more subgraphs representative of data subsets of a data set may be generated. For example, the data set may be data that the data request is predicted to seek, and the subgraphs may be generated in response to the data request prediction. The subgraphs may be stored in a temporary data storage. A subsequent data request matching the predicted data request may be obtained subsequent to the subgraph storage. Based on the subsequent data request matching the predicted data request, the subgraphs may be obtained from the temporary data storage. The subgraphs may be used to respond to the subsequent data request.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: STARDOG UNIONInventors: Evren Sirin, Michael Howard Grove, Kendall Grant Clark, Pavel Klinov

Publication number: 20140079468Abstract: A jet pump stabilizer is disclosed and claimed. The stabilizer includes a clamp body that is affixed about the riser pipe. Two U-clamps are connected to the clamp body, each U-clamp positioned about a jet pump mixer section. A wedge assembly is positioned between the clamp body and each mixer pipe, cooperating with the clamp body and U-clamps to laterally restrain the mixer sections. A clamp ring is positioned about each mixer section and retained in place by the U-clamps, wedge assemblies, and clamp body. A sealing ring is moveably connected to the clamp ring such that it is biased toward engagement with the jet pump diffuser. Seals provided on the stabilizer engage the jet pump assembly above and below the slip joint, preventing vibration-inducing leakage through the slip joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: AREVA NP Inc.Inventors: Grant Clark Jensen, Kenneth Wade Markham, Thomas Newland Busic
