  • Publication number: 20170017728
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for identifying a usage for data in a data structure. A set of configuration files associated with a set of services are analyzed to identify at least one class associate with the data in the data structure thereby forming a data structure-to-class mapping. Source code associated with the set of services is analyzed to identify a set of services used by at least one class in the data structure-to-class mapping thereby forming a service-to-class mapping. A set of specification files associated with the set of services are analyzed to identify a set of uses associated with at least one service in the service-to-class mapping thereby forming a use-to-service mapping. An identification of usage information of the data structure is generated using the data structure-to-class mapping, the service-to-class mapping, and the use-to-service mapping.

  • Patent number: 9405750
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure may include methods, systems, and computer readable media with executable instructions. An example method for determining document structure similarity can include segmenting path sequences (206) of Document Object Model (DOM) trees (120, 462) from a number of web pages (202) into B components (561). Path signals (210) corresponding to the path sequences (206) are determined based on a count of the occurrences of particular paths in the Bthe component (571), and unique path signals (210) are transformed into discrete wavelet signals (214)(572). The discrete wavelet signals (214) are analyzed at multiple DOM tree resolution levels (573).

  • Publication number: 20160154854
    Abstract: Methods and systems of generation of histograms for strings are described. In one implementation, a prefix tree having nodes representing prefixes of the strings is generated. For the prefix tree, deploy weights are assigned to the nodes based on lengths of the prefixes represented by sub-tree nodes rooted at the nodes and frequencies of the strings whose prefixes are represented by the sub-tree nodes. Each of the deploy weights of one node is indicative of a maximum weight preserved upon filling the buckets with at least one prefix represented by the sub-tree nodes rooted at that one node. A predefined number of Top-prefixes are determined for filling up the predefined number of buckets. The Top-prefixes are determined based on maximizing a total weight preserved by the prefixes in the buckets and over a maximum number of strings. A histogram is generated based on the deploy weights associated with the Top-prefixes.

  • Patent number: 9316608
    Abstract: A biosensor that is capable of detecting the presence and/or concentration of an analyte or biomarker includes at least one electrically conductive electrode operatively coupled to an impedance analyzer for measuring the change in the resistive impedance ?ZRe of the electrode in response to an applied alternating current at a plurality of frequencies. In one embodiment, at least one electrode is covered with a self-assembled monolayer that is chemically bonded to a surface. A plurality of virus particles such as phage viruses are immobilized on the self-assembled monolayer and may be exposed to a test or sample solution. The virus particles may be obtained from phage-displayed libraries to detect a wide variety of targets including, for example, DNA, RNA, small molecules, and proteins or polypeptides. In another embodiment, the virus particles are electrostatically bound to a substrate in between a pair of elongated electrodes disposed on a substrate.

  • Patent number: 9146018
    Abstract: An optical lens is adapted for used in a light source that has an optical axis, and includes a light-entering surface, a light-exiting surface, and a modified reflection surface. The light-entering surface has two first ends. The light-exiting surface defines a light-exiting surface profile that is concave toward the light source and that has two second ends. The modified reflection surface defines two modified reflection surface profiles. Each of the first ends is connected to a corresponding one of the second ends by a corresponding one of the modified reflection surface profiles. The modified reflection surface profiles are concave in the same direction as the light-exiting surface profile.
