Patent number: 11940884Abstract: A portable, self-contained data mover container with all required packages for data management, and which can be hosted on a physical host, VM, cloud or appliance, such as a storage array. The data mover container protects multiple workloads such as NAS, native OS filesystem, applications, and so on. An automated process spins up and tears down containers without any impact on the host. If a container fails to run on a host if desired resources are not available, it automatically runs on other hosts for same data set. Minimal user intervention to achieve scale and performance is required, as the system automatically computes the desired number of containers required depending upon dataset and available resources. Containers can be patched and upgraded independently on a host without making any change to the hosting environment.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Upanshu Singhal, Chandra Prakash, Adam Brenner

Patent number: 11755174Abstract: Template based calendar events with graphic enrichment are provided. In some examples, upon receiving a request to create a calendar event, an event creation prompt may be presented. The prompt may include an event template selection element comprising visual aids, such as icons or emojis, that each represent different event templates for selection. Upon receiving a visual aid selection, information associated with the user requesting the calendar event may be retrieved based on the selected visual aid to infer one or more aspects of the requested event such as title, timing, and location. A suggested event with the inferred aspects may be presented to the user and upon receiving confirmation and/or modification, the suggested or modified event may be added to the user's calendar. Some events may be presented with a visual background such as an image or graphics on the calendar for prompt recognition.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael J. Kumar, Hiroshi Tsukahara, Brian T. Carver, Margaret R. Clinton, Elona Tuomi, Jiang Wan

Patent number: 8918436Abstract: A hybrid database table is stored as both a row and a column store. One or more techniques may be employed alone or in combination to enhance performance of the hybrid table by regulating access to, and/or the size of, the processing-intensive column store data. For example during an insert operation, the column store data may be searched for a uniqueness violation only after certain filtering and/or boundary conditions have been considered. In another technique, a hybrid table manager may control movement of data to the column store based upon considerations such as frequency of access, or underlying business logic. In still another technique, querying of the hybrid table may result in a search of the column store data only after an initial search of row store data fails to return a result.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Yongsik Yoon, Chanho Jeong, Juchang Lee, Chang Bin Song, Yong Sik Kwon, Sang Kyun Cha

Patent number: 8423577Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media are described for suggesting an action based on multiple descriptors within a textual communication (e.g. email, text message). In one embodiment, event descriptors within an email are identified and displayed to the email recipient with an indication that the descriptors are selectable. Upon receiving the selection of at least two descriptors, an action is suggested to the recipient for acceptance. Upon receiving the acceptance, the proposed action is performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Woo Jae Lee, Peter Syromiatnikov, Sanjay K. Sharma

Patent number: 8078652Abstract: Techniques are described herein for performing column functions on virtual columns in database tables. A virtual column is defined by the database to contain results of a defining expression. Statistics are collected and maintained for virtual columns. Indexing is performed on virtual columns. Referential integrity is maintained between two tables using virtual columns as keys. Join predicate push-down operations are also performed using virtual columns.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2007Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Subhransu Basu, Harmeek Singh Bedi
