20100082648HASH JOIN USING COLLABORATIVE PARALLEL FILTERING IN INTELLIGENT STORAGE WITH OFFLOADED BLOOM FILTERS - Processing resources at a storage system for a database server are utilized to perform aspects of a join operation that would conventionally be performed by the database server. When requesting a range of data units from a storage system, the database server includes join metadata describing aspects of the join operation for which the data is being requested. The join metadata may be, for instance, a bloom filter. The storage system reads the requested data from disk as normal. However, prior to sending the requested data back to the storage system, the storage system analyzes the raw data based on the join metadata, removing a certain amount of data that is guaranteed to be irrelevant to the join operation. The storage system then returns filtered data to the database server. The database system thereby avoids the unnecessary transfer of certain data between the storage system and the database server.04-01-2010

20100088326Service oriented architecture aggregation - A method, system and computer program product for identifying one or more niche services to combine into a common service, wherein the niche service is a part of a service oriented architecture (SOA). The extensible markup language (XML) schema of the one or more niche services is aggregated into a combined XML schema, wherein the combined XML schema is the XML schema of the common service. A web services description language (WSDL) of the one or more niche services are aggregated to establish a combined WSDL, wherein the combined WSDL is the WSDL of the common service. The common service is generated from the combined XML schema and the combined WSDL. The combined WSDL, utilized to identify the combined service, comprises a service provider URL, one or more service operations, and combined XML schema. The combined XML schema is associated with a common service request and a common service response. When the XML schema of the niche service is not equal with the combined XML schema, mediation is invoked.04-08-2010

20100100558Method of servicing query statements from a client machine using a database management system (DBMS) employing a relational datastore and a multi-dimensional database (MDDB) - A method of serving query statements from one or more client machines using a database management system (DBMS) employing a relational data store and a multi-dimensional database (MDDB). A query interface is adapted to receive query statements from the client machines, and generate one or more query requests. A query handling mechanism (i) receives each request from the query interface, (ii) extracts a set of dimensions associated with the request, (iii) uses the dimensions to retrieve aggregated fact data from the MDDB, and (iv) forwards retrieved aggregated fact data to the query processing mechanism for subsequent processing. When the query processing mechanism determines that servicing of one or more query requests require data stored in the relational tables, then the query handling mechanism automatically routes the requests to the relational data tables, so that data can be accessed from the relational tables and forwarded to the query processing mechanism for use in servicing the requests, in a manner transparent to the client machine.04-22-2010

20100185634DATA TRANFORMATIONS FOR A SOURCE APPLICATION AND MULTIPLE TARGET APPLICATIONS SUPPORTING DIFFERENT DATA FORMATS - Embodiments of the invention allow structured data to be transferred between a source application and target applications that process structured data in different formats.

Once values are registered, the source application transfers the structured data to a transformation engine that applies the rules, using the registered values for the variables, to transform the structured data into a format compatible with the target applications. The transformation engine may also determine distinct sets of variable values and transform structured data based on each distinct set. In doing so, the number of transformed data generated is limited to the number of distinct sets, thereby avoiding generating duplicate transformed data.07-22-2010

20110016136Grouping and Differentiating Files Based on Underlying Grouped and Differentiated Files - Methods and apparatus teach a digital spectrum of a file. The digital spectrum is used to map a file's position. This position relative to another file's position reveals closest neighbors. When multiple such neighbors are arranged, first “patterns” of data are created that further define digital spectrums of new files. It is within this sorted new data that emergent relationships or second “patterns” are examined, according to the techniques for its underlying files, or “patterns of patterns.” Representatively, original files are stored on computing devices. If encoded, they have pluralities of symbols representing an underlying data stream of original bits of data. The original files are examined for relationships between each of the files. The original relationships are converted to new files. The new files are representatively encoded and examined for other relationships. The new files are then grouped or differentiated from one another based these new relationships yielding insight into how the original files can be grouped or differentiated.01-20-2011

Methods are also described for finding and ranking areas of interest in the images that form a complete visual scene on an SES. Further, attentional processing of image data is best done by performing attentional processing on individual full-size images from the image sequence, mapping each attentional location to the nearest node, and then summing all attentional locations at each node. More information is available through this method since attentional processing is repeatedly done on each image in the sequence. An attentional point that has persisted in several adjacent images will have a higher activation value and, therefore, will be deemed more salient than an attentional point found in only one image. Therefore, the confidence that a location deemed salient by this method is an actual salient feature is greater than with the alternative processing methods in which attentional processing is performed only once on the image reconstructed from the foveal windows posted on the SES.04-07-2011
