  • Publication number: 20220309112
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies are capable of calculating a boundary value N as a function of a parameter M; for each of M first-level partitions of a set of data records, building an index for use by a downstream application by (i) building N second-level partitions using the key; indexing the N second-level partitions to produce N micro-shards; determining a value of a number of tiers parameter, T, and, for each tier, a value of a partitions per merge parameter PMT, merging the N micro-shards using T tiers and, for each tier, PMT partitions per merge, distributed across a plurality of host machines; where M, N, T, and PMT are each a positive integer and a value of M is determined based on the downstream application.

  • Patent number: 11210291
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for improving search speed and quality using differential indexing. One method includes an operation for building a first index for a database, the first index being for first tokens resulting from normalizing words in input data. Further, the method includes building a second index for the database, the second index being for second tokens comprising words of the input data eliminated from the first index during the normalizing. The method further includes operations for receiving a raw query for a search of the database, and for generating a search query based on tokens of the raw query. The search query comprises a combined search of the first index and the second index. A search is performed based on the search query, and results of the search are returned for presentation on a display.

  • Patent number: 7713085
    Abstract: The present invention provides a connector interface comprising a connector socket interface and a connector plug interface, the connector socket interface comprising metal shell, insulator, band-shaped recess provided on said insulator and metal contacts and the connector plug interface comprising metal shell, insulator, and band-shaped protrusion provided on said insulator and metal contacts, said connector socket interface and said connector plug interface being able to be coupled together, wherein: said connector socket interface has a plurality of band-shaped recesses and said connector plug interface has a plurality of band-shaped protrusions. In a connector interface with the same number of metal pieces according to an embodiment of the present invention, the footprint of the coupling part is reduced, the footprint per pair of contacts is reduced, and the objective of increasing the pin density of the contacts in a connector is achieved.

  • Patent number: 7585189
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a high density connector plug, comprising the body of plug and a plastic enclosure for fixing said body of plug and being connected with the cable. Said body of plug comprises a shielding shell, an insulator mounted in said shielding shell, and a set of contacts provided on the side of said insulator; said insulator comprising a base and upper plastic body and lower plastic body extending outwards from one side of said base, which have slots for mounting said contacts. Thus the interface footprint of plug and socket is reduced and the pin density is increased, thereby the volume of the corresponding device is significantly reduced, so that the devices have a trend towards miniature and high density. In addition, there is a stepped welding area provided on the insulator, so that the contacts can be connected to the cable by welding, and there is visibility in the cable welding, thereby the working efficiency is improved.
