Abstract: A non-USB device can be virtualized as a USB device. When a non-USB device is connected to a client terminal, a filter driver can be employed to cause the non-USB device to be treated as a USB device to thereby allow the device to be redirected using USB device redirection techniques. When an I/O request is sent to the redirected device, the request will be in USB format since the server-side components will view the redirected device as a USB device. Then, the I/O request can be converted from the USB format into a format suitable for the non-USB device. Any response generated by the non-USB device can be converted to USB format in a similar manner. As a result, non-USB devices can be redirected without altering any of the existing server-side VDI components.

Abstract: A method for communication includes posting in a queue a sequence of work items pointing to buffer consisting of multiple strides of a common, fixed size in a memory. A NIC receives data packets from a network containing data to be pushed to the memory. The NIC reads from the queue a first work item pointing to a first buffer and writes data from a first packet to a first number of the strides in the first buffer without consuming all of the strides in the first buffer. The NIC then writes at least a part of the data from a second packet to the remaining strides in the first buffer. When all the strides in the first buffer have been consumed, the NIC reads from the queue a second work item pointing to a second buffer, and writes further data to the strides in the second buffer.

Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to formulating and refining field extraction rules that are used at query time on raw data with a late-binding schema. The field extraction rules identify portions of the raw data, as well as their data types and hierarchical relationships. These extraction rules are executed against very large data sets not organized into relational structures that have not been processed by standard extraction or transformation methods. By using sample events, a focus on primary and secondary example events help formulate either a single extraction rule spanning multiple data formats, or multiple rules directed to distinct formats. Selection tools mark up the example events to indicate positive examples for the extraction rules, and to identify negative examples to avoid mistaken value selection. The extraction rules can be saved for query-time use, and can be incorporated into a data model for sets and subsets of event data.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system identifies correct structured reading-order sequence of text segments that are extracted from a file structured in a portable document format. A probabilistic language model is generated from a large text corpus to comprise observed word sequence patterns for a given language. The language model measures whether splicing together a first text segment with another continuation text segment results in a phrase that is more likely than a phrase resulting from splicing together the first text segment with other continuation text segments. Sets of text segments are provided to the probabilistic model, where the sets of text segments comprise a first set including the first text segment and a first continuation text segment. A second set includes the first text segment and a second continuation text segment. A score is obtained for each set of text segments. The score is indicative of a likelihood of the set providing a correct structured reading-order sequence.
