Abstract: Anchor tree cross-merge within a distributed storage system. A computer system identifies a data structure that includes (i) a root anchor tree and (ii) an ordered set of anchor trees that are ordered based on their creation, such that a last anchor tree of the ordered set of anchor trees is most-recently created. The data structure stores index data for a set of objects stored in a non-volatile storage. The computer system creates a new anchor tree in the ordered set of anchor trees. The computer system identifies, from a set of delta tables, index data representing one or more objects that are stored on the non-volatile storage. The computer system merges the index data representing the one or more objects into the new anchor tree.

Abstract: A system and method for locating a traffic light at a host vehicle. A probe vehicle obtains image data on an intersection that includes the traffic light when the probe vehicle is at the intersection and identifies the traffic light in the intersection from the data. A remote processor creates an observed node in a digital map corresponding to the traffic light and updates a mapped position of a mapped node within the digital map based on an observed position of the observed node. The host vehicle uses the mapped node of the digital map to locate the traffic light when the host vehicle is at the intersection.

Abstract: A system and a method is provided for assessing motion of a biological tissue of a subject including one or more superficial biological layers and a targeted biological layer. An optical perturbation is introduced within the one or more superficial biological layers but not within the targeted biological layer. A set of optical signal data is acquired preceding, during, or following the optical perturbation and, using the set of optical signal data, a set of optical characteristics is determined that is representative of light transiting the biological layers. Using the set of optical characteristics and a model of the biological layers, a target optical signal consistent with a target biological layer is separated and a movement of the desired biological tissue is determined using the target optical signal.

Abstract: A distributed storage system includes non-volatile storage storing portions of a first object. The first object encompasses data having a first range of addresses and each portion includes data for a respective range of addresses that is a proper subset of the first range. A first data structure stores, for each portion, data indicating the respective range of addresses and a pointer to where the portion is stored. The first data structure includes a root tree and a set of trees ordered by creation data such that a last tree is most-recently created. The non-volatile storage stores received write data and a write buffer stores index data pointing to storage locations of the received write data. An index management system stores the index data from the write buffer into the last tree and, if the ordered set is empty, creates a tree in the ordered set before the storing.

Abstract: A distributed storage system includes table controllers collectively storing partitions of a logical table having multiple rows. For each of the partitions, a corresponding table controller stores a subset of the rows of the logical table across individual pages. A management controller updates a schema of the logical table from a first to a second schema definition by, for each of the partitions, sending an update command indicating the second schema definition to the corresponding table controller. The first table controller corresponds to a first partition that includes a first subset of the rows. The first table controller, prior to receiving the update command, includes an identifier of the first schema definition within each page of data for the first subset. Subsequent to receiving the update command, the first table controller, when writing each new page of data for the first subset, includes an identifier of the second schema definition.

Abstract: A service enables a command that refers to a file system object using a hierarchical namespace identifier to be executed against the file system object in a flat namespace. The service selectively distributes the command to one of a plurality of name resolution nodes based on a directory name included in the hierarchical namespace identifier. The identified node resolves the directory name to a flat namespace identifier that is used to execute the command against the flat namespace. After communicating with at least one storage node to resolve a directory name, each name resolution node stores a mapping of the directory name to the corresponding flat namespace identifier in a cache, so that subsequent resolutions of that directory name may be performed more efficiently. Cache entries may be invalidated when an operation occurs that impacts the relevant mapping and/or based on system considerations such as cache expiry.
