  • Patent number: 11599253
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting objects by tracing the paths the objects traverse on a display. An object moving across a display screen does so along a particular path. Users may trace the shape of this path, such as by outlining the shape of the path with their finger or other device on a touch sensitive screen, moving a cursor with, e.g., a mouse, moving a motion-sensitive screen, or the like. The display may match the shape of the user's traced path to the shape of an object's path. Objects whose paths are shaped sufficiently similar to the user's traced path may then be selected. In this manner, users may select an object by tracing the path it takes, rather than directly picking or touching the object itself. This allows users an additional method for selecting displayed objects, improving the flexibility of many displays and programs run thereon.

  • Patent number: 11546378
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for securing software applications are provided herein. By recording path data representing interactions between an application and other components, it can be determined what data an attacker has received by the time malicious activity is detected. During a session with an application, queries made to a dataset by the application can be recorded. After the session is found to be malicious, the session is transferred to a cloned application session in which access to the dataset is blocked. Based on the recorded queries, an alternative dataset for queries made in the cloned application session is generated that includes a subset of the original dataset, thus limiting future queries of the attacker in the cloned application session to data already received before the malicious activity was detected.

  • Patent number: 11514029
    Abstract: A shared-nothing database system is provided in which parallelism and workload balancing are increased by assigning the rows of each table to “slices”, and storing multiple copies (“duplicas”) of each slice across the persistent storage of multiple nodes of the shared-nothing database system. When the data for a table is distributed among the nodes of a shared-nothing system in this manner, requests to read data from a particular row of the table may be handled by any node that stores a duplica of the slice to which the row is assigned. For each slice, a single duplica of the slice is designated as the “primary duplica”. All DML operations (e.g. inserts, deletes, updates, etc.) that target a particular row of the table are performed by the node that has the primary duplica of the slice to which the particular row is assigned. The changes made by the DML operations are then propagated from the primary duplica to the other duplicas (“secondary duplicas”) of the same slice.

  • Patent number: 11366858
    Abstract: A method prepares data for subsequent analysis. The method obtains a data model that encodes a data sources as a tree of logical tables. Each logical table has its own physical representation and includes logical fields. Each logical field corresponds to either a data field or a calculation that spans logical tables. The method associates each logical table in the data model with a corresponding concept in a concept graph. The concept graph embodies hierarchical inheritance of semantics. For each logical field, the method assigns a semantic role to the logical field based on a concept corresponding to a logical table. The method also validates the logical field based on its semantic role. The method also displays transformations to clean the logical field based on validating the logical field. The method transforms the logical field according to a user selection, and updates the logical table.

  • Patent number: 11360908
    Abstract: Systems, methods and/or devices are used to perform memory-efficient mapping of block/object addresses. In one aspect, a method of managing a storage system having one or more storage devices includes a tiered data structure in which each node has a logical ID and entries in the nodes reference other nodes in the tiered data structure using the logical IDs. As a result, when a child node is updated and stored to a new location, but retains its logical ID, its parent node does not need to be updated, because the logical ID in the entry referencing the child node remains unchanged. Further, the storage system uses a secondary mapping table to translate the logical IDs to the corresponding physical locations of the corresponding nodes. Additionally, the secondary mapping table is cached in volatile memory, and as a result, the physical location of a required node is determined without accessing non-volatile memory.

  • Patent number: 11347871
    Abstract: A mechanism that dynamically creates a new access policy for a set of database servers when a policy violation has been identified in a database access response issued by any database in the set. The new access policy is then propagated in real-time and instantiated across the set of database servers so as to inoculate the other database servers and pre-empt any new compromise of information based on the intruder's actions that were found to have produced the policy violation in the first instance. Thus, the approach uses a response policy violation at one database server of a set to trigger generation of a new request access policy that is then instantiated across one or more other database servers. This response policy violation-to-request access policy instantiation occurs in substantially real-time so that the intruder cannot use a prior successful access request to obtain information from other databases using a similar strategy.

  • Patent number: 11347416
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards a streaming data storage system that compacts older stream data by aggregating that data based on an aggregation function, and replacing the older data with the aggregated data. The technology works with a data stream in different storage tiers (e.g., Tier-1 and Tier-2), provides consistent data stream compaction of data streams having multiple segments, works with different reader applications at different event positons in the data stream, and allows the use of multiple, different aggregation functions. The technology facilitates more efficient compaction for a data stream with a lesser number of routing keys by maintaining per-chunk aggregated data for such data streams.
