Patents by Inventor YARON BURD

YARON BURD has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10444939
    Abstract: Comparing recurring processes. A method includes automatically identifying a plurality of recurring process instances having one or more commonalities. The method further includes displaying the plurality of recurring process instances having one or more commonalities to a user in a user interface. The method further includes receiving user input at the user interface selecting a first recurring process instance from the plurality of recurring process instances. The method further includes receiving user input at the user interface selecting a second recurring process instance from the plurality of recurring process instances. The method further includes automatically identifying differences in the first and second recurring process instances. The method further includes presenting the differences in the graphical user interface to the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8819017
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and computer-storage media for affinitizing datasets based on efficient query processing. In one embodiment, a plurality of datasets within a data stream is received. The data stream is partitioned based on efficient query processing. Once the data stream is partitioned, an affinity identifier is assigned to datasets based on the partitioning of the dataset. Further, when datasets are broken into extents, the affinity identifier of the parent dataset is retained in the resulting extent. The affinity identifier of each extent is then referenced to preferentially store extents having common affinity identifiers within close proximity of one other across a data center.
