  • Patent number: 11934359
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product is provided for computer log management. In one embodiment, in response to receiving a log request from a user, an input content is analyzed and adjusted according to input contents and user's previous activities. A similarity analysis and a fairness analysis is performed to determine similarities between the input content, as adjusted, and a plurality of log records in an object library. The similarity analysis includes analyzing any patterns and attributes. The attributes have a dimension, and each dimension has a predefined weight (W). The fairness analysis ensures that one type of log is not favored over others. A best possible match is then determined, and one or more logs are presented to the user providing the best possible match.

  • Publication number: 20240070451
    Abstract: A computer-program product storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to receive an input data from a sensor, generate a training data set utilizing the input data, wherein the training data set is created by creating one or more copies of the input data and adding noise to the one or more copies, send the training data set to a diffusion model, wherein the diffusion model is configured to reconstruct and purify the training data set by removing noise associated with the input data and reconstructing the one or more copies of the training data set to create a modified input data set, send the modified input data set to a fixed classifier, and output a classification associated with the input data in response to a majority vote of the classification obtained by the fixed classifier of the modified input data set.

  • Patent number: 11914594
    Abstract: A disclosed database system and enhanced methods implement enhanced mini-plans and dynamically changing a query mini-plan with trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve query execution performance in a database system. An AI cost model evaluates candidate mini-plans for executing a query. AI truth monitors evaluate the execution of the mini-plans, such as predicted input factors and adjusted mini-plans of one or more AI running data models. The AI truth monitors provide feedback to adjust the AI cost model based on evaluating the execution of the mini-plans. The AI truth monitors validate adjusted mini-plans, provide feedback to the AI cost model with improved overall prediction accuracy, and enhanced mini-plans to gain query performance.

  • Patent number: 11914586
    Abstract: An embodiment includes generating a partition schema for a distributed database based on historical usage data indicative of usage of the distributed database, where the generating of the partition schema comprises determining a partition range of a partition of the partition schema. The embodiment also includes generating a node identifier for the partition using a hash function and a first weight value assigned to the partition. The embodiment also includes monitoring performance data indicative of a performance of the distributed database, the monitoring comprising detecting a failure of the performance to satisfy a performance threshold. The embodiment also includes initiating, responsive to detecting the failure, a redistribution procedure by changing the node identifier of the partition by replacing the first weight value with a second weight value.

  • Patent number: 10624604
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to medical diagnostic high-frequency X-ray machines and power supply devices thereof. One power supply device can convert an alternating current into a direct current, which is further raised by a boost circuit and stored by a capacitor module, so that the power supply device can provide high voltage and sufficient power to an inverter. Another power supply device can use a lithium iron phosphate battery to power the X-ray machine. Accordingly, the X-ray machine can be lighter, smaller, resistant to high temperature, fast in electrical charging and discharging, and safer, and the usage life of the X-ray machine can be prolonged due to the long cycle life of the lithium iron phosphate battery.
