  • Patent number: 12182167
    Abstract: Sequential consistency across a distributed cloud computing network is described. A database includes a primary database and multiple read replica databases. Write queries are transmitted to the primary database, and commit tokens are provided to the read replica databases and the clients. Commit tokens are included in requests from clients. If a request for a read operation received at a read replica database does not include a token that is later than a commit token of the most recent update to the read replica database, the read replica database performs the read operation. If a request for a read operation received at a read replica database includes a token that is later than a commit token of the most recent update to the read replica database, the read replica database delays servicing the read update until it receives an update from the primary database with an updated commit token.

  • Publication number: 20240062099
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for matching two strings together. The process can identify differences between the two strings, store values representing the differences between the two strings in a vector and compare the vectorized string difference values to each other using machine learning. In one example, a method may include receiving a request to compare a source string and a target string, generating a vector and encoding attributes within the vector, wherein the attributes comprise editing steps for converting the source string into the target string, determining whether the source string is a match to the target string via execution of a machine learning model on the generated vector with the attributes encoded therein, and storing a determination output of the machine learning model in memory.

  • Publication number: 20230324311
    Abstract: A method for characterizing a photonic integrated circuit comprising includes coupling an evanescent field into a scattering element adjacent to a guiding layer of the photonic integrated circuit. The evanescent field is of an optical mode of light propagating in the guiding layer, and has an in-medium wavelength in the guiding layer. A maximum spatial dimension of the scattering element is less than the in-medium wavelength. The method includes scattering, with the scattering element, the coupled evanescent field as a reference scattered-signal. The method also includes detecting one of the reference scattered-signal and a signal derived therefrom.
