  • Patent number: 9996273
    Abstract: A storage system in one embodiment comprises at least one processor, a processor memory, an input-output controller, and a directly-addressable storage device having volatile memory and non-volatile memory. The input-output controller generates a plurality of write commands in conjunction with storage of data in the storage system, the write commands including at least a first write command comprising the data and a second write command comprising one or more interrupts. If an address of a given one of the write commands falls within a specified interrupt group window, the write command is copied to the directly-addressable storage device so as to provide at least one of the one or more interrupts to that storage device. The directly-addressable storage device responds to receipt of the interrupt by writing data from the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory and generating a corresponding additional interrupt to the processor.

  • Patent number: 9996377
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to virtual machine (VM) migration via a mobile device. A method includes requesting, by a mobile device, a source computer to capture a state and memory contents of a VM executing on the source computer. The VM includes the state, the memory contents, and data. The state and memory contents of the VM are stored on the mobile device. Security information about a target computer is determined by the mobile device. A migration of the VM to the target computer is initiated by the mobile device. The initiating includes sending the stored state and memory contents of the VM from the mobile device to the target computer. An activation of the VM on the target computer is initiated and access is provided to at least a subset of the data of the VM. The subset is selected based on the security information.

  • Patent number: 9998485
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data analysis system that may automatically generate memory-efficient clustered data structures, automatically analyze those clustered data structures, and provide results of the automated analysis in an optimized way to an analyst. The automated analysis of the clustered data structures (also referred to herein as data clusters) may include an automated application of various criteria or rules so as to generate a compact, human-readable analysis of the data clusters. The human-readable analyses (also referred to herein as “summaries” or “conclusions”) of the data clusters may be organized into an interactive user interface so as to enable an analyst to quickly navigate among information associated with various data clusters and efficiently evaluate those data clusters in the context of, for example, a fraud investigation. Embodiments of the present disclosure also relate to automated scoring of the clustered data structures.

  • Patent number: 9995036
    Abstract: An expansion joint seal system which includes intumescent to protect uncoated edges of substrates. A fire rated compressed expansion joint sealant is provided having an intumescent proximate, but below the water-resistant top of the fire-retardant foam, so that when exposed to fire, the intumescent expands to protect the exposed vertical surface of the adjacent concrete substrate. The end of the concrete is therefore protected in a manner which does not require joint overlap between the horizontal fire resistant coating and the compressible sealant.

  • Patent number: 9996582
    Abstract: Tuning a production database system through the use of a remote mimic. In response to receipt of a query tuning request against a database system, information about that system is obtained and a mimic of the system is set up in a remote system environment. The mimic aims to imitate the database system in all relevant ways with respect to the tuning request. A tuning analysis is then performed on this mimic system such that there is substantially no impact to operations of the original database system. Tuning results are then applied to the original database system. The entire process takes place with little or no human intervention.

  • Patent number: 9993290
    Abstract: A method and system of providing therapy to a patient's uterus is provided, which can include any number of features. The method can include the steps of inserting a uterine device into the uterus and performing a uterine integrity test to determine that the uterus is intact and not perforated. If it is determined that the uterus is not perforated, a patency test can be performed to determine that the uterine device is not clogged or embedded in tissue. If the uterus is intact and the device is not clogged or embedded in tissue, the uterus can be treated with the uterine device, e.g., uterine ablation. Systems for performing these methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9996769
    Abstract: Techniques detecting usage of copyrighted video content using object recognition are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises determining, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, digest information for a video, wherein the digest information comprises objects appearing in the video and respective times at which the objects appear in the video. The method further comprises comparing, by the system, the digest information with reference digest information for reference videos, wherein the reference digest information identifies reference objects appearing in the reference videos and respective reference times at which the reference objects appear in the reference videos. The method further comprises determining, by the system, whether the video comprises content included in one or more of the reference videos based on a degree of similarity between the digest information and reference digest information associated with one or more of the reference videos.
