  • Patent number: 11966936
    Abstract: Systems and methods for executing queries on a bitmap index are disclosed. The system may receive a first data stream from a database and generate a bitmap index based on the first data stream. The system may receive an input selection of one or more data conditions from a user device and generate a Boolean expression based on the input selection. The system may query the bitmap index using the Boolean expression and generate a bitmap vector. The system may output a first data subset represented by the generated bitmap vector to a graphical user interface. The bitmap index may include probabilistic entries, and the system may validate the probabilistic entries by receiving a second data stream, identifying one or more entries correlated to the probabilistic entries, determining a divergence between the identified entries and the probabilistic entries, and updating parameters of a classifier model associated with the probabilistic entries.

  • Patent number: 11953399
    Abstract: Pressure sensors having ring-tensioned membranes are disclosed. A tensioning ring is bonded to a membrane in a manner that results in the tensioning ring applying a tensile force to the membrane, flattening the membrane and reducing or eliminating defects that may have occurred during production. The membrane is bonded to the sensor housing at a point outside the tensioning ring, preventing the process of bonding the membrane to the housing from introducing defects into the tensioned portion of the membrane. A dielectric may be introduced into the gap between the membrane and the counter electrode in a capacitive pressure sensor, resulting in an improved dynamic range.

  • Publication number: 20240012731
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting anomalies in computing systems includes measuring activity metrics associated with accessing resources of the system by several users. Further, condensed diagnostic data is generated by grouping the users into buckets based on bucket and user attributes, and aggregating the activity metrics across all users in each bucket. Bucket contents are recorded during system's use, during which, analytic embedded data is generated for anomaly detection. The generating includes, for each bucket, capturing the activity metrics for an exceptional user in each bucket without aggregation at a next time interval.

  • Patent number: 11829790
    Abstract: A processor receives an interrupt signal. The interrupt signal is received with an interrupt target ID identifying a target processor for handling the interrupt signal. The processor is a target of the interrupt signal directly. A check is made as to whether the processor is the target processor identified by the interrupt target ID. The checking includes performing a comparison of the interrupt target ID with a current interrupt target ID assigned to the processor. Based on the checking being successful, the interrupt signal is accepted for handling by the processor.

  • Patent number: 11822493
    Abstract: An interrupt signal is provided to a first guest operating system. A bus attachment device receives an interrupt signal from a bus connected module with an interrupt target ID identifying a processor assigned for use by the guest operating system as a target processor for handling the interrupt signal. The bus attachment device checks whether the target processor is scheduled for usage by the guest operating system. If the target processor is not scheduled for usage, the bus attachment device forwards the interrupt signal using broadcasting and updates a forwarding vector entry stored in a memory section assigned to a second guest operating system hosting the first guest operating system. The update is used for indicating to the first operating system that there is a first interrupt signal addressed to the interrupt target ID to be handled.

  • Patent number: 11734037
    Abstract: An interrupt signal is provided to a guest operating system. A bus connected module is operationally connected with a plurality of processors via a bus attachment device. The bus attachment device receives an interrupt signal from the bus connected module with an interrupt target ID identifying one of the processors assigned for use by the guest operating system as a target processor for handling the interrupt signal. The bus attachment device checks whether the target processor is running using a running indicator provided by an interrupt table entry stored in a memory operationally connected with the bus attachment device. If the target processor is running, the bus attachment device forwards the interrupt signal to the target processor for handling. A translation of the interrupt target ID to a logical processor ID of the target processor is used to address the target processor directly.

  • Patent number: 11409502
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to intelligently and dynamically controlling both changes made within EUC applications and the control rules associated with such changes. A similarity index is calculated/assigned for each data entry field (i.e., cell/intersection) and the controls implemented when a changes to data in the entry fields occurs is based on the similarity index. In other embodiments, a change to data entry fields dynamically prompts analysis of the change based on historical approval and/or denial patterns specific to the EUC application, the data entry field(s) and/or the user of the application. In response to the analysis the control rules may be dynamically updated, and applied to the current change. In other embodiments, inputs, such as reviewer's comments, are the basis for determining a need to update existing controls or add new controls associated with data entry field(s) and the conditions associated therewith are determined and applied.
