  • Publication number: 20220174018
    Abstract: A method of managing multipath traffic switching in a network includes a plurality of shared paths, including selecting a first path from among the plurality of shared paths; setting an initial timer to an initial timer value; sending network traffic over the first path; based on determining that at least one path characteristic of the first path is unsatisfactory and that the initial timer has not expired, generating an updated timer value by increasing the initial timer value; and based on determining that the at least one path characteristic of the first path is unsatisfactory and that the initial timer has expired, selecting a second path, sending the network traffic over the second path, and setting an updated timer to the updated timer value.

  • Patent number: 11327184
    Abstract: The invention relates to providing atmospheric correction data in a GNSS network-RTK system for correcting GNSS data, wherein a base triangulation that encloses at least part of the reference stations of the GNSS network-RTK system is subdivided into child triangles by means of a recursive division of parent triangles into four child triangles, synthetic data are determined for each of the child triangles based on a triangulation algorithm applied to basic data of the reference stations such that the synthetic data represent a gridded representation of the basic data, and access to correction data is provided, wherein the correction data comprise at least part of the synthetic data arranged in a quad-tree hierarchy.

  • Patent number: 10742657
    Abstract: Embodiments can provide a computer implemented method in a data processing system including a processor and a memory having instructions, which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement the method for accessing a shared resource. The method includes the following steps: identifying a process having elevated privileges as a background process; providing an authorized user list including at least one user identification number; providing a communication endpoint connectable to a user or a program; receiving a user identification number of the user or the program through the communication endpoint; checking whether the user identification number is in the authorized user list. If the user identification number is in the list, a file descriptor associated with the shared resource is provided; and the file descriptor is transferred to the user or the program through the communication endpoint.

  • Patent number: 10235455
    Abstract: A method for semantic searching includes receiving a user input including seed data and a semantic input at a search system. The method further includes automatically generating a filter set based on the user input, where the filter set including a plurality of documents that correspond to the seed data, and includes providing the filter set and the semantic input to a semantic search engine. The method also includes receiving a set of semantic search results from the semantic search engine based on the filter set and the semantic input. The set of semantic search results corresponds to a sub-set of the filter set that is semantically similar to the semantic input.
