  • Patent number: 9722627
    Abstract: A method for determining an encoding used for a sequence of bytes may be provided. The method comprises providing a set of candidate code pages and transforming them into different groups of sequences of bytes, wherein each group of sequences of bytes corresponds to one of the candidate code pages. Thereby each code point is transformed by applying a transformation from one of the candidate code pages to a reference code point value relating to a reference encoding for each code point. The method comprises further separating each of the transformed sequences of bytes into groups of tokens, wherein each group of tokens relates to one candidate code page, and providing an index relating to a text corpus. Furthermore, the method comprises selecting a code page from the set of candidate code pages at least partially based on how many tokens are found in the index.

  • Patent number: 9633127
    Abstract: A dependency between a program to be deployed in a node in a cluster and other programs to be deployed in the cluster is obtained by one or more processors, which also obtain an IP address and connection information of a sub/pub server. A client computer connects to the sub/pub server, and subscribes to the sub/pub server for a message describing other programs on which the program is dependent. In response to obtaining the message of other programs on which the program is dependent from the sub/pub server, the program is deployed.

  • Publication number: 20170024696
    Abstract: A computer processor may extract identity information from a document. The identity information may include at least one custodian identity attribute. After extracting the identity information, the computer processor may determine that the identity information is associated with a specific custodian. The computer processor may then search for the custodian identity attribute in a custodian directory to determine whether the custodian directory contains an entry for the custodian. If the custodian is not in the custodian directory, the computer processor may create a new entry in the custodian directory for the custodian and store the extracted identity information in the new entry.

  • Patent number: 9378178
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving performance in connection with requesting resources. A request is sent by a browser to a server to retrieve a resource, where the message includes identifiers and tags associated with blocks of data of the resource which are stored in a cache of the client. If the browser receives a response from the server indicating that the resource has not change since last accessed, the browser will determine if one of the tags associated with the data blocks of the resource stored in the cache differs from the associated tags received in the response message. If there is not a match, then the browser has identified the situation where a block of data of the resource has outdated content which can be updated using the content stored in the data block of another resource in the cache with the same identifier.
