  • Patent number: 10498539
    Abstract: A method for deterring information copying, includes: combining a watermark serial number incorporate in a given medium with a content serial number to create a combined serial number, the watermark serial number uniquely identifies the given medium, and the content serial number uniquely identifies a content stored on the given medium; creating a digital signature by encoding the combined serial number using a private key of a public/private key pair; imprinting the content serial number and the digital signature on the given medium; decoding the digital signature imprinted on the given medium using a public key of the public/private key pair to obtain the combined serial number; comparing the decoded combined serial number with the watermark serial number and the content serial number imprinted of the given medium; and in response to determining that both match the combined serial number, determining that the content is authentic.

  • Patent number: 9703830
    Abstract: In the processing of a query while being translated from the SPARQL language to the SQL language, a manner of navigation through the one or more graphs is provided. The plurality of the nodes in the one or more graphs generated from the query is identified. The plurality of the nodes are assigned a priority and arranged in the priority queue based on the assigned priorities. The node with a highest assigned priority is selected each time for execution of the query from the selected node. The one or more graphs are navigated from the selected node to traverse to the one or more nodes connected with the selected node. An access plan element is generated corresponding to the selected nodes and the one or more traversed nodes.
