  • Patent number: 11914589
    Abstract: In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method including detecting a query operator of a predetermined type requiring a sorting or a scanning responsive to the query operator at a column-oriented database; determining a sorted dictionary at the column-oriented database is eligible for direct access by at least checking that the column-oriented database provides sorted dictionary access and that dictionary collation and a collation of the query operator are the same; when the sorted dictionary is eligible, reading directly from the sorted dictionary a batch of sorted values; and processing, based on the batch sorted values read from the sorted dictionary, the query operator.

  • Publication number: 20230221837
    Abstract: The technology described herein is capable of generating and presenting graphical user interfaces for displaying shared content, configuring space objects (also simply called spaces), posting digital content items to various spaces, inviting other users to contribute digital content items to various spaces, forking digital content items posted in one space or post object to another space or post object, contextual searching, posting rich comments in association with a post including graphical and textual data, and so forth. Further, the technology may provide suggestive search based on the spaces associated with a user, generate and exchange data with other nodes on a computer network, generate notification data including notifications reflecting updates posted to spaces by various users, and coalesce related comments to reduce number of notifications that each user receives and/or through which a user may have to navigate or scroll through.

  • Publication number: 20230092791
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a protease variant which is at least 90% identical to the full length amino acid sequence of a Kumamolisin AS backbone as set forth in any of SEQ ID NOs 1-3, while maintaining proteolytic activity, or a fragment, fraction or shuffled variant thereof maintaining proteolytic activity, which protease variant demonstrates altered or improved stability compared to the Kumamolisin AS wildtype as set forth in SEQ ID NO 4, or the Kumamolisin AS backbone as set forth in any of SEQ ID NOs 1-3.

  • Patent number: 11451499
    Abstract: Implementations relate to embedded programs and interfaces for chat conversations. In some implementations, a method includes initiating an embedded application in association with a chat interface displayed by a messaging application that executes at least in part on a first user device. The chat interface displays messages originating from other user devices participating in a chat conversation over a network and associated with chat users. An indication is received over the network that one or more particular devices of the other user devices have connected to an embedded session associated with the embedded application. In response, chat identities associated with particular users of the particular user devices are provided from the messaging application to the embedded application. The particular users are designated as member users of the embedded session, and the embedded application is updated based on data received from particular user devices of the embedded session.

  • Patent number: 11050694
    Abstract: Implementations relate to suggested items for use with embedded applications in chat conversations. In some implementations, a method includes causing a chat interface to be displayed by a first user device, the chat interface generated by a messaging application. The chat interface is configured to display, in a chat conversation, messages provided by user devices participating in the chat conversation over a network. An embedded interface is associated with the chat interface and displayed by an embedded application associated with the messaging application. A suggestion event is determined to occur in association with the embedded application based on received data that indicates that a particular event has occurred at one or more other user devices participating in the chat conversation. Suggested response items are obtained based on the suggestion event, and the suggested response items are displayed by the first user device.
