Publication number: 20240126816Abstract: Herein is database query acceleration from dynamic discovery of whether contents of a persistent column can be stored in an accelerated representation in storage-side memory. In an embodiment, based on data type discovery, a storage server detects that column values in a persistent column have a particular data type. Based on storage-side metadata including a frequency of access of the persistent column as an offload input column for offload computation requests on a certain range of memory addresses, the storage server autonomously decides to generate and store, in storage-side memory in the storage server, an accelerated representation of the persistent column that is based on the particular data type. The storage server receives a request to perform an offload computation for the offload input column. Based on the accelerated representation of the persistent column, execution of the offload computation is accelerated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jorge Luis Issa Garcia, Teck Hua Lee, Sheldon Andre Kevin Lewis, Bangalore Prashanth, Hui Joe Chang, Zhen Hua Liu, Aurosish Mishra, Shasank K.

Patent number: 8559074Abstract: An illumination device for an image capture system according to one example embodiment includes an integrating light pipe having an input face and an output face. The integrating light pipe is positioned to receive light from a light source at the input face and transmit the light at the output face. A projection element is positioned to focus the light from the output face to a document plane to be imaged by an image sensor. A uniformity correction device is positioned to attenuate the light from the output face so that the light has a substantially uniform intensity at the image sensor and a less uniform intensity at the document plane than at the image sensor.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Ryan Keniston, Paul Scott Nicholas Sherrill, Mark Eric Miller, William Michael Connors, Kevin Garcia

Patent number: 7669182Abstract: A method maintains a hierarchy of application objects in a computer system. The method includes automatically detecting an exit of a child application object, the exit resulting from a failed process, the child application object launched by a parent application object. A grandchild application object is automatically terminated after the exit of the child application object, the grandchild application object launched by the child application object. Notwithstanding the exit of the child application object, the computer system, which maintains the hierarchy of application objects, the parent application object, and the grandchild application object, remains active.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Inventor: Kevin Garcia

Patent number: 7645050Abstract: A user-wearable illumination assembly comprises a mounting fixture that is adapted to be coupled to a user-wearable device, such as eyeglasses, goggles, face masks, helmets, or other devices. A light guide has a first end that can be coupled to a light source, and a second end coupled to a lens housing that is in turn coupled to the mounting fixture. An optical lens in the lens housing cooperates with the light guide to project light from the light source through the lens. In one embodiment, the lens has a substantially spherical surface facing the second end of the light guide and an aspheric surface facing away from the second end of the light guide. In another embodiment, the mounting fixture comprises articulating portions to permit independent or simultaneous adjustment of the lens housing to direct projected light in a desired direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2006Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Kerr CorporationInventors: Brian L. Wilt, Patrick Shipley, Frederick N. Bushroe, Kevin Garcia

Patent number: 7228281Abstract: A method of accumulating and summarizing a number of customer interaction records pertaining to a specific customer records system (e.g., an ACD) over a predetermined time period commences with the receipt of interaction record including interaction information describing customer interaction. For example, the interaction information could indicate the hold time for a particular call received at the ACD. A cumulative record to which the interaction record contributes is then identified, and the cumulative record is then automatically updated to reflect predetermined interaction information contained within the interaction record. For example, a cumulative log of hold times for the particular ACD over a predetermined time interval may be updated with hold time information included within the interaction record.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1999Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Aspect CommunicationsInventors: Richard Ney, Kevin Garcia, David L.

Patent number: 6883170Abstract: A method of maintaining a hierarchy of application objects commences with the automatic detection of the exit of a process of a child application object in an unexpected manner. Responsive to the detected exit, a grandchild application object, launched by the child application object, is automatically terminated. An attempt is then made to restart the child application object. The outcome of the restart of the child application object is reported to a parent application object that launched the child application object.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2000Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Aspect Communication CorporationInventor: Kevin Garcia
