  • Publication number: 20180373768
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and utilizes synthetic context-based objects. One or more processors define a context object, where the context object provides a context that identifies a specific subject-matter, from multiple subject-matters, of a non-contextual data object. The processor(s) associate the non-contextual data object with the context object to define a synthetic context-based object and the synthetic context-based object with at least one specific data store. A request is received from a requester for data from said at least one specific data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object, where said at least one specific data store is within a database of multiple data stores. Data is returned to the requester from said at least one specific data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object.

  • Patent number: 10152526
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and utilizes synthetic context-based objects. A non-contextual data object is associated with a context object, which comports with a predetermined set of constraints, to define a synthetic context-based object, where the non-contextual data object ambiguously relates to multiple subject-matters, and where the context object provides a context that identifies a specific subject-matter, from the multiple subject-matters, of the non-contextual data object. The synthetic context-based object is then associated with at least one specific data store, which includes data that is associated with data contained in the non-contextual data object and the context object. A request for a data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object results in the return of at least one data store that is associated with the synthetic context-based object.

  • Patent number: 10127303
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product measures and displays facets in context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells. Conformed dimensional objects and synthetic context-based objects are parsed into n-tuples. A virtual mass of each parsed object is calculated, in order to define a shape of multiple context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells that are created when data objects that are pulled into each of the context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well frameworks on a context-based conformed dimensional gravity wells membrane. Data from the multiple context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells then populates nodes in a data model. A displayed appearance of the particular context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well is dynamically adjusted according to how many parsed synthetic context-based objects are pulled into the particular context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well.

  • Patent number: 10025564
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and implements intuitively comfortable frames of task appropriate frames of reference for multiple dimensions of context constraints for related sets of objects within an integrated development environment (IDE). One or more processors identify a hierarchical set of context constraints for an object, and depict the hierarchical set of context constraints for the object on an IDE using a visual metaphor selected by a user. The processor(s) receive a zoom-in input for a first context constraint in the hierarchical set of context constraints, and place the IDE in mention mode, such that use of the hierarchical set of context constraints against the object is disabled. In response to the IDE being placed in mention mode, the processor(s) display detail of the first context constraint on the IDE, and receive changes to the first context constraint to create a modified first context constraint.

  • Patent number: 9886674
    Abstract: A processor marks non-linear attributes of each member of a known cohort by marking fields associated with the non-linear attributes in a database used to store information about members of the known cohort, where the known cohort is a task directed community that has a known agenda, where each of the non-linear attributes is individually unrelated to the known agenda, and where there is no logical nexus between any of the non-linear attributes and a particular person's membership in the known cohort. The processor utilizes marked fields in the database to identify common non-linear attributes that are shared by multiple members of the known cohort, and defines a paradigmatic member of the known cohort. The processor maps and tags the paradigmatic member in the database for future retrieval.

  • Patent number: 9832199
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product protects access to hardware devices through use of a secure processor. A security computer receives a request from a requesting computer for access to a hardware device on a network. A secure processor within the security computer encrypts the request to generate an encrypted request, which is generated within a core of the secure processor. The secure processor protects a secure application that is used to process the request from other software on the secure processor. The security computer transmits the encrypted request to the hardware device, and then receives an encrypted acknowledgement of the encrypted request from a processor associated with the hardware device. The security computer then creates a communication session between the requesting computer and the hardware device.

  • Patent number: 9811683
    Abstract: A computer system securely accesses a specific data store. A non-contextual data object is associated with a context object to define a first synthetic context-based object. The non-contextual data object ambiguously describes multiple types of persons, and the context object provides a circumstantial context that identifies a specific type of person from the multiple types of persons. The first synthetic context-based object is associated with at least one specific data store in a data structure. A string of binary data that describes a requester of data, including a time window for receipt and security level of the requester, is received by the computer system for generating a new synthetic context-based object. If there is a match between the new synthetic context-based object, the first synthetic context-based object, and the security level of the requester, then the data is returned to the requester by the computer system.

  • Patent number: 9785373
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product stores and retrieves payload data using a ternary content addressed memory (TCAM) hybrid memory. TCAM data is transmitted to a context masking device. The TCAM data identifies a type of payload data, and the context masking device masks the TCAM data with a context mask to create a masked TCAM data. One or more processors append the masked TCAM to payload data to create multiple stored units of TCAM-identified payload data in a location addressable store (LAS). The processor(s) receive a request for data. The request includes a masked request TCAM data that identifies a content and context of requested data. An exclusive OR (XOR) chip identifies relevant payload data within the LAS that are within a predefined Hamming distance of the masked request TCAM data. The processor(s) return the relevant payload data within the LAS to the requester.
