  • Patent number: 9448873
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and/or computer program product analyzes data processing. Dependency metadata, which is used for representing dependency on data among at least two components of an application, is acquired. Error information, which is used for describing errors that occurred while running the application, and data output, which includes data output by components used to run the application, are acquired. Based on the error information, dependency metadata and data output relevant to the error information are analyzed to provide an analysis result. The analysis result includes at least one of: a reason why an error occurs, a prompt for an error correction method, a relevant dependency metadata leading to an occurrence of an error, and relevant data output leading to an occurrence of an error.

  • Patent number: 9448316
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a stable reverse time demigration (RTDM) equation for predicting wave phenomena such as reflections, refractions and multiples are described. A coupling term is added to an RTDM equation and reflectivity associated with the coupling term is replaced with a pseudo-density function derived from a nonlinear equation. The resultant coupled and stabilized RTDM equation is then used to predict the desired wave phenomena based on the applied seismic image.

  • Publication number: 20160267496
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to defining and implementing a manifest that governs configuration of a targeted marketplace store and to providing customized content offerings in a targeted marketplace store according to a targeted store manifest. In one scenario, a computer system defines a semantics model that includes semantics used to generate a targeted store manifest. The computer system then generates the manifest using the defined semantics model. The manifest includes settings for the content offerings that are to be provided in the targeted marketplace store including an indication of an audience to which the targeted marketplace store is to be deployed. The computer system further interprets the manifest to dynamically deploy a targeted store using the settings specified in the manifest, so that the content offerings provided in the marketplace are customized to the audience indicated in the manifest.

  • Publication number: 20160251943
    Abstract: A device for simulating exploitation of a natural gas hydrate in a permeable boundary layer includes a high pressure reaction kettle, a formation simulation unit and an aquifer maintaining unit. A water bath jacket externally connected with constant temperature water bath is arranged on the outer wall of the high pressure reaction kettle for providing a necessary temperature condition for the high pressure reaction kettle. A simulative well at the center of the top of the high pressure reaction kettle is connected with liquid injection, gas injection, gas production and water production equipment. An aquifer interface at the bottom of the high pressure reaction kettle is connected to the aquifer maintaining unit through a pipeline. The simulation device simulates the geological environment of a hydrate reservoir, allowing comprehensive evaluation of hydrate exploitation under different formation permeability and different formation pressure gradients.

  • Patent number: 9430574
    Abstract: A method, system, and processor-readable storage medium are directed towards generating a report derived from data, such as event data, stored on a plurality of distributed nodes. In one embodiment the analysis is generated using a “divide and conquer” algorithm, such that each distributed node analyzes locally stored event data while an aggregating node combines these analysis results to generate the report. In one embodiment, each distributed node also transmits a list of event data references associated with the analysis result to the aggregating node. The aggregating node may then generate a global ordered list of data references based on the list of event data references received from each distributed node. Subsequently, in response to a user selection of a range of global event data, the report may dynamically retrieve event data from one or more distributed nodes for display according to the global order.
