  • Patent number: 11030204
    Abstract: Performing a distributed query across a data pool includes receiving a database query at a master node or a compute pool within a database system. Based on receiving the database query, a data pool within the database system is identified. The data pool comprises a plurality of data nodes. Each data node includes a relational engine and relational storage. Each node in the data pool caches a different partition of data from an external data source in its relational storage. The database query is processed across the plurality of data nodes. Query processing includes requesting that data node perform a filter operation against its cached partition of the external data source stored in its relational storage and return any data from the partition that matches the filter operation.

  • Patent number: 10942924
    Abstract: An approach for improving LOB query performance via automatic inference of locator-less LOB by value semantics in a relational database system is provided. A relational database management system (RDBMS) is implemented to perform operations on LOBs based on the semantics of a statement. During statement compilation, the RDBMS identifies inline LOB column(s) that are not required to be returned to a client. During execution, the identified column(s) are accessed via a shared buffer cache and fed to an operator for evaluation. For inline LOB column(s) that must be returned to the client, during execution, the inline LOB data is copied from the shared buffer cache to a temporary buffer area. Data in the temporary buffer area is fed to an operator for evaluation and is used to create a LOB locator for the inline LOB column(s) that must be returned to the client.

    Abstract: Systems for managing static assets of web applications. A method embodiment includes identifying a web application that comprises a code base and a set of static assets, then separating the code base of the web application from the set of static assets that are referenced by the web application. The code base is deployed as application services whereas the static assets are deployed as static asset containers. Specifically, the set of static assets referenced by the application services are deployed in containers that are instantiated separately from where the application services are instantiated. Requests to access the application services and requests to access the static assets are tracked by taking performance measurements of the systems that process the accesses. Dynamic scaling of static asset containers is done independently from dynamic scaling of the application services. The dynamic scaling is based on combinations of measured usage and/or any system performance characteristics.

    Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute information. Attribute values for at least one starting point are included in a compressed attribute information file and attribute correction values are included in the compressed attribute information file. Attribute values are predicted based, at least in part, on attribute values of neighboring points. The predicted attribute values are compared to attribute values of a point cloud prior to compression to determine attribute correction values. In order to improve computing efficiency and/or repeatability, fixed-point number representations are used when determining predicted attribute values and attribute correction values. A decoder follows a similar prediction process as an encoder and corrects predicted values using attribute correction values included in a compressed attribute information file using fixed-point number representations.

The web browser application retrieves a worklist and automatically determines an image study from the worklist to be cached. The web browser application retrieves at least one medical image included in the image study. The web browser application creates a web database for storing the at least one medical image within the browser application. When a user selects a medical image for display within the web browser, the web browser application determines whether the medical image is stored in the web database. When the medical image is stored in the web database, the web browser application retrieves the medical image from the web database. When the medical image is not stored in the web database, the web browser application retrieves the medical image from a remote image repository.

  • Patent number: 10803033
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for enhanced mapping of transaction data to a target document, and for classifying line items of the mapped transaction data, using classification algorithms. Embodiments provide a system including a column mapping module to receive a target scheme specifying a target structure for the target document, receive transaction data having a source structure, and map at least one source column to at least one target column of the target columns based on application of classification algorithms to features identified from the source transaction data. The system also includes a row classification module to classify the rows of the mapped transaction data into classification categories. The system also includes a validation handler to receive validation input from a user, validating the column mapping and/or the row classification. The validating including accepting the recommendation or rejecting the recommendation and selecting a correct choice.

  • Patent number: 10789242
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for managing a materialized view of data in a data store. During operation, the system obtains a first creation time of a first materialized view of the data in the data store. Next, the system verifies that the first materialized view is not affected by deletions applied to the data since the first creation time. The system then identifies one or more additions to the data that are not included in the first materialized view. Finally, the system applies the additions to the first materialized view to maintain an eventual consistency of the first materialized view with the data store.

  • Patent number: 10779050
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide a media content news feed identifying one or more media content streams that may be received and displayed. In an example embodiment, media content alert information is received at a media content device that describes at least one of a plurality of media content streams receivable at the media content device via a network. The received media content alert information is processed to generate a content news feed including one or more content news items. The content news feed is presented using the display device. A selection of one of the content news items of the feed is received, with the selected content news item identifying a corresponding media content stream of the plurality of streams. Based on the selected content news item, the corresponding media content stream is processed.

  • Patent number: 10764238
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a network controller that manages several logical networks. The method receives a specification of a logical network that includes at least one logical forwarding element attached to a logical service (e.g., DHCP). The method selects at least one host machine to host the specified logical service from several host machines designated for hosting logical services. The method generates logical service configuration information for distribution to the selected host machine. In some embodiments, the method selects a master host machine and a backup host machine for hosting logical service. In some embodiments, a particular one of the designated host machines hosts at least two DHCP services for two different logical networks as separate processes operating on the particular host machine.
