Patent number: 11971965Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is system and method for use with software application development environments, for determining attribution associated with licensed software code. The system can receive as input an indication of a source application codebase for a software application, determine dependencies on third-party modules, libraries, or other software code, and output associated license attributions for that codebase. Optionally, the system can combine and/or de-duplicate multiple sets of attributions associated with a source application codebase, or generate a set of differences between two versions of attributions, to illustrate changes between the versions. In accordance with an embodiment, if the system detects potential licensing issues associated with the use of third-party modules, libraries, or other software code, then an appropriate notification can be generated.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Nelson, Paul Mackin, Daniel Simone

Publication number: 20230233544Abstract: Dysregulation of TAF1 function by various mechanisms can lead to disease in the central nervous system, such as the TAF1 Intellectual Disability (ID) Syndrome which currently has no therapeutic treatments. The present invention indicates that a novel T-type calcium channel enhancer, such as SAK3, has disease-modifying effects in animal models of TAF1 editing. In addition, the present invention provides insights into the molecular mechanism by which SAK3 exerts in pharmacologic effects. Moreover, the present findings imply that the T-Type voltage-gated calcium channels are novel molecular targets to develop therapeutics to treat TAF1 ID syndrome and that SAK3 is an attractive drug candidate to treat TAF1 associated neurologic disorders.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2021Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Mark A.

Patent number: 11650984Abstract: A technique for using a caching layer for key-value storage in a database is described. In one example of the present disclosure, a system can receive, at an unsorted data structure of a caching layer, a key-value pair associated with a data object. The unsorted data structure can store a first plurality of key-value pairs. The system can receive one or more operations for updating the key-value pair in the caching layer. The system can determine the key-value pair is to be migrated to a sorted memory table based on a caching algorithm. The system can migrate the key-value pair to a sorted memory table configured to store a second plurality of key-value pairs that is larger than the first plurality of key-value pairs and sort the key-value pair with the second plurality of key-value pairs prior to storing the key-value pair in the sorted memory table.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: RED HAT, INC.Inventors: Mark Nelson, Gabriel Zvi BenHanokh

Publication number: 20230024864Abstract: Power consumption can be reduced by selective memory chip hibernation. For example, a computing device can allocate first data associated with a first processing operation of a user device to a first chip of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) of the user device. The computing device can allocate second data associated with a second processing operation of the user device to a second chip of the DRAM of the user device. The computing device can determine the first processing operation has been inactive for a predetermined period of time and migrate the first data from the first chip of the DRAM to a storage device of the user device. The computing device can hibernate the first chip of the DRAM while maintaining power to the second chip of the DRAM for continuing to perform the second processing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2021Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Gabriel Zvi BenHanokh, Brett Niver, Mark Nelson

Patent number: 11475147Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a creation of a container within a system, selecting a security policy for the container, based on one or more attributes, identifying a key label associated with the security policy for the container, retrieving a data encryption key, utilizing the key label, and encrypting the container, utilizing the data encryption key. This may enable a highly granular level of automatic container-level security within the system that may be transparently implemented within the system, which may streamline container security and reduce an amount of stored data and processing necessary for implementing container security, and may thereby improve the performance of the system.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cecilia C.

Patent number: 11429745Abstract: Client devices can send access request messages to resource management computers to request access to a resource. A data security hub can provide centralized routing between different client devices, resource management computers, and authentication data processing servers. The data security hub can reduce the risk of sensitive authentication information from leaking (e.g., due to a breach) by limiting the amount or types of authentication information distributed to the data processing servers. The data security hub can limited the authentication information being distributed based on its sensitivity, the trust level of the client device, and the security level of the requested resource. The data security hub can also evaluate the client devices and data processing servers to identify security breaches and can cancel or reroute access requests accordingly Thus, the data security hub can maintain resource security while better preserving the privacy of the client device's authentication information.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Theodore Harris, John Sheets, Mark Nelson, Yue Li, Craig O'Connell
