Patent number: 8838652Abstract: Techniques for application data scrubbing, reporting, and analysis are presented. A plurality of data sources are analyzed in accordance with their schemas and matching rules. Merging rules are applied to merge a number of data types across the data sources together. A report is produced for inspection and a master data source is generated. The processing can be iterated with rules modified in response to the report for purposes of refining the master data source.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Blaine Jensen, Volker Gunnar Scheuber-Heinz, Stephen R Carter, Charles Matthew Morgan

Patent number: 8688617Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices using an algorithm that consists of scoring the bits in the data stream with a periodicity of N, where N is the word-length in bits, and then selecting as the most significant bit the one which receives the highest score after some large number of samples are disclosed. The condition under which bit bk receives a point depends on the binary format.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Associated Universities, Inc.Inventors: Matthew A. Morgan, James R. Fisher

Patent number: 8645434Abstract: Techniques for schema production and transformation are presented. Enterprise data from a plurality of data sources is analyzed to produce patterns to types of enterprise data. Merging rules group patterns together with entries across multiple schemas. Each schema associated with one of the data sources. A single entry is then produced within a single generic schema for each group of patterns. The generic schema can then be used to suggest changes to enterprise data policy and to make the enterprise data interoperable across the enterprise in an automated fashion.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2008Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Stephen R Carter, Nathan Blaine Jensen, Volker Gunnar Scheuber-Heinz, Charles Matthew Morgan

Publication number: 20110040889Abstract: Network traffic is distributed between a plurality of networked computers. The traffic comprises requests that are received into the network and replicated to each computer. For each request, each computer makes a decision based on attributes of the request as to whether to process or ignore the request, such that each request is processed by only one computer. Each computer periodically broadcasts a signal to each of the other computers to confirm that it is online. When a first computer is no longer online, the traffic is redistributed amongst the remaining online computers, wherein traffic that is already processed by the remaining computers is not redistributed, traffic that would have been processed by the first computer is split evenly between the remaining computers, and each computer decides independently and identically how to redistribute the traffic without communicating with the other computers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2010Publication date: February 17, 2011Inventors: Owen John Garrett, Declan Sean Conlon, Matthew Morgan Horney
