  • Publication number: 20190171833
    Abstract: Machine logic (for example, software) for protecting sensitive and confidential user data and sending the protected user data to an authorized third party for predictive analytics purposes. The machine logic rules perform linear transformation operations on the sensitive and confidential user data in order to obscure the underlying data before it is sent to an authorized third party for performing predictive analysis of the underlying data. After performing predictive analysis on the obscured data by the authorized third party, the owner of the sensitive and confidential data takes a consequential action (that is, the owner of the data makes a business-related decision) based on the prediction.

  • Patent number: 10212255
    Abstract: Processing a job request for multiple versions of a distributed computing service. The service processing node does this by at least interleavingly (e.g., via time sharing with rapid context switching, or by actually concurrently) running a first runtime library associated with a first service version of the distributed computerized service and a second runtime library associated with a different service version of the distributed computerized service. While running the first runtime library, job requests of a first service version may be at least partially processed using a first set of one or more executables that interact with the first runtime library. While running the second runtime library, job requests of a second service version may be at least partially processed using a second set of one or more executables that interact with the second runtime library.
