  • Patent number: 11983438
    Abstract: A technique improves implementation of an index for an operations log (oplog) that coalesces random write operations directed to a virtual disk (vdisk) stored on an extent store. The oplog temporarily caches data associated with the random write operations (i.e., write data) as well as metadata describing the write data. The metadata includes descriptors to the write data stored on virtual address regions, i.e., offset ranges, of the vdisk and are used to identify the offset ranges of write data for the vdisk that are cached in the oplog. To facilitate fast lookup operations of the offset ranges when determining whether write data is cached in the oplog, an oplog index provides a state of the latest data for offset ranges of the vdisk. The technique improves implementation of the oplog index by storing the oplog index in storage class memory, such as persistent memory, to obviate failure and subsequent recovery of the oplog index.

  • Patent number: 11880688
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses that enable determining expected hash-values in functions with control flow. A computing device receives a function comprising function instructions within at least three basic blocks connected via multiple execution paths. Hash-input instructions are inserted within a plurality of the basic blocks that indirectly force hash values at the respective insertion points. Hash values at ends of the plurality of the basic blocks are set to a canonical value and an expected hash-value and hash input-values are calculated using a hash function. By using the canonical value and the hash input-values, the expected hash-value is the same regardless of which execution path is executed.

  • Patent number: 11882152
    Abstract: A system for detecting phishing websites accesses a website that comprises a plurality of images. The system extracts the plurality of images from the website. The system generates a hash value for each image from the plurality of images. Each hash value uniquely identifies its corresponding image. The system generates a first overall hash value for the website by hashing the generated hash values. The first overall hash value represents a signature of the website. the system compares the first overall hash value with a second overall hash value that is associated with a phishing website. The system determines whether the first overall hash value corresponds to the second overall hash value. If it is determined that the first overall hash value corresponds to the second overall hash value, the system determines that the website is associated with the phishing website.

  • Patent number: 11874823
    Abstract: Methods for enhancing compatibility of a document of an entity with an organization's database on a computer server to facilitate detection of a fraudulent submission. Methods may include receiving a populated document in a first format from the entity, using a processor to digitize the document into a digital format, such as bytes, and further into a second format, where the first format may not be compatible with the database and the second format may be compatible with the database. Methods may include using the processor, optionally running a statistical model, to determine an entity identifier, a predicted value of a data field in the document, and whether there is a difference between the value in the predicted data field and a corresponding value in the populated document. Methods may include implementing a corrective action, such as raising a fraud alert at the organization, when there is a difference.

  • Patent number: 11861301
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer system for grouping parts. Sets of unigrams are generated from text in part lists for parts in a family of parts using natural language processing, wherein a set of unigrams in the sets of unigrams represent components for a part in the parts. A document term matrix is created using the sets of unigrams. The document term matrix describes a presence of components in the parts. A number of unigrams from the document term matrix that has occurrences in the document term matrix that are greater than a common design threshold is removed. Removing the number of unigrams from the document term matrix forms a processed document term matrix. The common design threshold identifies a level of occurrence not useful in differentiating the parts from each other. The parts are clustered into groups using the processed document term matrix.

  • Patent number: 11847806
    Abstract: Scene text information extraction of desired text information from an image can be performed and managed. An information management component (IMC) can determine an anchor word based on analysis of an image. To facilitate determining desired text information in the image, IMC can re-orient the image to zero or substantially zero degrees if it determines that the orientation is skewed. IMC can utilize a neural network to determine and apply bounding boxes to text strings in the image. Using a rules-based approach or machine learning techniques, employing a trained machine learning component, IMC can utilize the anchor word along with inline grouping of textual information in the image, deep text recognition analysis, or bounding box prediction to determine or predict the desired text information in the image. IMC can facilitate presenting the desired text information, anchor word, or other information obtained from the image in an editable format.
