  • Patent number: 12277446
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method comprises monitoring a request for use of memory requested by a container manager application on behalf of a given one of a plurality of containers during runtime of the given container. The method further comprises determining that the request for use of memory has caused an exception. The exception indicates that the request has requested an invalid operation on a memory table or that the request has requested a previously not seen memory table. In response, the method further comprises determining an action to perform. The action depends on both first trustworthiness information associated with the given container and second trustworthiness information associated with the given container. The first trustworthiness information is obtained from a Third Party Reputation Service (TPRS). The second trustworthiness information is obtained based on monitoring the runtime behavior of the given container.

  • Patent number: 12238052
    Abstract: Herein is disclosed a method of verifying the completeness and authenticity of instant messages sent from a first instant messaging application of a sender to a second instant messaging application of a recipient, the instant messages each having a sender's address and a user-accessible field for receiving content. The content of the user-accessible field is visible to the recipient upon opening the instant message in the second instant messaging application. The method includes the steps of identifying the receiver for an instant message to be sent by the sender, generating a current sequence marker for the receiver, inserting the current sequence marker into the user-accessible field of the instant message, and then sending the message. The current sequence marker represents a next sequence identifier in a sequence of instant messages between the sender and the receiver.

  • Patent number: 12223080
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a natural language question (NLQ) query service within a service provider network that provides row level security (RLS) for autocomplete during entry of NLQs and fuzzy matching in NLQ answering. The rules take the form of per-user predicates such as Tim can only see rows with region=US. In configurations a complex extraction and preprocessing pipeline to extract distinct combinations of values against RLS predicate “rule keys” is used. Those distinct values are indexed along with grouped rule keys to enable pushing down predicates at auto-complete time. This enables pushing part of RLS rule handling to ingestion time of a dataset rather than handling all RLS rule handling at query time, enabling meeting of latency goals. In configurations, a single logical document of unique cell values is split into multiple documents with a subset of rule keys to handle scalability limits.

  • Patent number: 12222908
    Abstract: Idle periods may be for management actions at processing clusters for managed databases. A leader node of a processing cluster for a managed database may monitor a network endpoint at a proxy service associated with a database managed by the database service. An idle period for the database may be detected. A management action for the processing cluster may be determined to be performed during the detected idle period. The leader node may cause the determined management action to be performed.

  • Patent number: 12200592
    Abstract: The system receives a SIP call from a UE associated with the user. The SIP call includes a call setup phase and a data transfer phase, where the call setup phase precedes the data transfer phase. The call setup phase includes an exchange of multiple header fields. The system obtains the multiple header fields from the SIP call. The system determines that the call is an open-line call by identifying an optional field within the multiple header fields, where the optional field indicates that the call is the open-line call. The open-line call indicates that the user of the UE cannot engage in a conversation with a receiver of the open-line call. Upon determining that the call is the open-line call, the system notifies an operator receiving the SIP call to not engage in an audible conversation with the user.

  • Patent number: 12189649
    Abstract: Database query processing may be scaled using additional processing clusters. A database query is received at a processing cluster. A determination is made as to whether additional processing clusters will be used to process the database query. Operations to cause compute nodes of the processing cluster to instruct operations at the additional processing clusters are included in a plan generated to perform database queries determined to use additional processing clusters. The plan is executed to be perform the database query causing compute nodes of the processing cluster to send instructions to corresponding additional processing clusters in order to generate and return a response to the database query.
