  • Publication number: 20230273898
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure may read source data corresponding to a source variable and apply a transformation to the source variable to generate an output variable. Accordingly, one such method comprises receiving a request to access an output variable by applying one or more data transformations to input data; before applying an actual data transformation to the input data, identifying that a match exists with a database of prior data transformations that have been applied to source variables to generate derived variables; identifying that a source variable in the matching one or more data transformations is flagged as sensitive data; and processing the request to access the output variable subject to an access restriction in response to the identification of the source variable that is flagged as sensitive data.

  • Patent number: 11681651
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure may read source data corresponding to a source variable and apply a transformation to the source variable to generate an output variable. Accordingly, one such method comprises receiving a request to generate an output variable by applying one or more data transformations to a source variable; before applying an actual data transformation to the source variable, checking a database of prior data transformations that have been applied to source variables to generate existing output variables for a match with the requested one or more data transformations to the source variable; determining that a match exists in the database, wherein the match is associated with an existing output variable; and/or responding to the request by providing the existing output variable associated with the match that exists in the database of prior data transformations.

  • Patent number: 11620400
    Abstract: A system may receive a request for access to a first variable. The request may include a requested action and a variable identifier for the first variable. The request may also have a syntax that is incompatible with first data storage format. The system may parse the request to capture the variable identifier from the request. The system may also look up a location of the first variable in a catalog using the variable identifier. The location of the first variable may include the first data storage format. The system may generate a query to access the first variable. The syntax of the query may be compatible with the first data storage format. The system may then submit the query to access the first data storage format. The query may be configured to complete the requested action.

  • Patent number: 11308095
    Abstract: A system may retrieve a pattern from a pattern database with the pattern identifying a type of sensitive data. The system may also retrieve data identified by a variable from a big data management system. The system may then match the data to the pattern to detect the type of sensitive data in the data. An output may be generated in response to the data matching the pattern. A variable access permission may be retrieved for the variable from a permissions repository, a sensitive data permission may be retrieved for the type of sensitive data from the permissions repository, and the variable access permission may be compared to the sensitive data permission to detect a discrepancy.

  • Patent number: 11169959
    Abstract: A system may read source data corresponding to a source variable and apply a transformation to the source variable to generate an output variable. The transformation may include logic, and the output variable may be configured for ingestion into a big data storage format. The system may record lineage data of the output variable that comprises the transformation and/or the source variable. The system may also receive a request to generate a requested output variable. The requested output variable may be generated from a second transformation that is the same as the first transformation. The system may thus match the first transformation to the second transformation using the lineage data. In response to matching the first transformation to the second transformation, the system may deny the request. The original output variable may be returned in response to the matching the first transformation to the second transformation.

  • Patent number: 10956438
    Abstract: A system may store a plurality of first records comprising a first variable in a first data storage format. The system may also store a plurality of second records comprising a second variable in a second data storage format. The first data storage format may have a different data structure than the second data storage format. The system may then generate a catalog including a first location of the first variable and a second location of the second variable. The first location identifies the first data storage format, which is where the first variable is stored. The second location identifies the second data storage format, which is where the second variable is stored. The system may then receive a request to access at least one of the first variable or the second variable and access the first variable and/or the second variable in response to the request.

  • Patent number: 10521404
    Abstract: A system may receive a request to derive an output variable from a source variable. The request may include proposed logic to derive the output variable from the source variable. The system may then compare the proposed logic to existing logic to determine the proposed logic is new. In response to the proposed logic being new, the system may generate transformation code configured to execute the proposed logic. The system may further schedule the transformation code for execution at a predetermined time, and then execute the transformation code to generate data for the output variable.

  • Patent number: 10365079
    Abstract: A downhole setting tool having a first housing, a second housing having a chamber connected to the first housing, a power charge positioned within the chamber, an igniter connected to a portion of the power charge, and an ignition device connected to the igniter. The ignition device is configured to actuate upon receipt of an electrical signal. The ignition device is configured to ignite the igniter. The ignition device may rapidly heat up or apply a voltage or current to the igniter. The igniter is configured to cause the detonation of the power charge to set a device within a wellbore. The igniter may be embedded into the power charge with the ignition device positioned within a cavity in the igniter. The igniter may be a pyrotechnic material or may release high energy heat upon application of voltage or current.
