Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for efficient partitioning and construction of graphs for scalable high-performance search applications. A method for partitioning a set of ternary keys having one or more wildcards includes analyzing patterns of the set of ternary keys and storing ternary keys with the same pattern in the same subset. The patterns may include uncompressed patterns and compressed patterns. When there are more patterns than a target number of subgraphs, patterns are repeatedly merged until the number of merged patterns matches the target number of subgraphs. Table entries having ternary keys corresponding to the ternary keys in a final set of merged patterns of ternary keys are generated and partitioned into sub-tables, with each sub-table associated with a respective sub-graph. Tables with hundreds of thousands or millions of entries are supported.

Abstract: A method of reducing the oxygen content of a powder is provided. A canister is prepared with a getter, filled with the powder to be densified, sealed and evacuated. The canister is subjected to a hydrogen atmosphere at an elevated temperature whereby hydrogen diffuses into the canister through the walls thereof. The hydrogen forms moisture when reacted with the oxygen of the powder and the moisture in the reacted with the getter in order to remove oxygen from the powder to the getter. The atmosphere outside the canister is then altered to an inert atmosphere or vacuum, whereby hydrogen diffuses out of the canister. A dense body having a controlled amount of oxygen can thereafter be produced by conventional powder metallurgy techniques.
