Abstract: A data server may support segment identification based on a selected user profile. For example, a user may select a user profile as the basis for identifying a segment of additional user profiles. The server may identify attributes associated with the selected user identifier and generate an expression based on the identified subset. The expression may include a normalization function corresponding to at least one attribute. The normalization function may identify correlated attribute values for an attribute associated with the selected user profile. The data server may query a data storage system to identify the additional user profiles based on the expression. The data server may also support user defined Boolean expressions such that the expression is used to identify user identifiers associated with a first attribute and a second attribute.

Abstract: An atomic orbital based memory storage is provided that includes a plurality of surface atoms forming dangling bonds (DBs) and a subset of the plurality of surface atoms passivated with spatial control to form covalent bonds with hydrogen, deuterium, or a combination thereof. The atomic orbital based data storage that can be rewritten and corrected as needed. The resulting data storage is also archival and capable of high data densities than any known storage as the data is retained in a binary storage or a given orbital being passivated or a dangling bond (DB). A method of forming and reading the atomic orbital data storage is also provided. The method including selectively removing covalent bonds to form dangling bonds (DBs) extending from a surface atom by hydrogen lithography and imaging the covalent bonds spatially to read the atomic orbital data storage.

Abstract: The present technology provides a system, method and computer-readable medium for configuration pattern recognition and inference, directed to a device with an existing configuration, through an extensible policy framework. The policy framework uses a mixture of python template logic and CLI micro-templates as a mask to infer the intent behind an existing device configuration in a bottom-up learning inference process. Unique values for device/network identifiers and addresses as well as other resources are extracted and accounted for. The consistency of devices within the fabric is checked based on the specific policies built into the extensible framework definition. Any inconsistencies found are flagged for user correction or automatically remedied by a network controller. This dynamic configuration pattern recognition ability allows a fabric to grow without being destroyed and re-created, thus new devices with existing configurations may be added and automatically configured to grow a Brownfield fabric.

Abstract: First data indicative of a first plurality of transactions by a user may be processed to generate first behavioral information describing the user. The first behavioral information may be displayed by an interactive user interface. A user input made in response to the first behavioral information may be received and analyzed to generate user preference information indicating a relationship between the first user input and the first behavioral information. Second data indicative of a second plurality of transactions by the user may be received and processed with the user preference information to generate second behavioral information describing the user. The second behavioral information may be displayed by the interactive user interface differently from the first behavioral information by the interactive user interface as a result of the processing of the second data and the user preference information together.
