20210232557 | MULTI-PAGE SPLITTING OF A DATABASE INDEX - An improved database-management system determines that a near-capacity leaf page of its database index must be split into multiple pages in order to store newly added index entries. The system determines whether the page should be “multi-split” into more than two pages, the total number of new pages to be added, and the range of indexed values assigned to each new page. These determinations are made as functions of the frequency with which the index page, and other index pages for the same index, have been split in the past, of the data distribution of values indexed by the leaf page, and of the degree of sequentiality of entries added to the leaf page. Leaf pages approaching capacity may also be scheduled for “pre-split” splitting during a period of lower utilization. These multi-split and pre-split operations reduce the numbers of index splits and of corresponding synchronous database-log writes. | 2021-07-29 |

The communication hub includes a smart identifier and addresser to identify and provide the direct addressing of source or target third party applications between the at least two third party applications and to maintain a table of all absolute addresses for the 2-way cross domain communication; and a communication policy enforcer to enforce a communication policy between the WBS and the at least two third party applications to filter non-conforming communication according to the communication policy; and a protocol translator to provide 2-way interface translation between the at least two third party applications. | 2021-07-29 |
20210232648 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESS-RELATED GENERATION OF AGRICULTURAL DATA - A method and a system for the process-related generation of agricultural data is disclosed. A server platform includes an input tool and a query tool, wherein the user uses the input tool to executes a process-related agricultural input routine, such as a documentation routine to document an agricultural process, or a planning routine for planning an agricultural process, and wherein the query tool is linked through IT to the input tool. The user provides agricultural process parameters in the input routine to the server platform. Further, the server platform includes data memory with query data comprising different lists of agricultural questions with boundary conditions associated therewith. The query tool compares the process parameters and the boundary conditions, and based on the comparison, the query tool selects a list of agricultural questions and queries the user about questions from the selected list. | 2021-07-29 |
20210232649 | RETRIEVAL OF CONTENT USING LINK-BASED SEARCH - Described herein are techniques and systems for retrieval of content using link-based searches. Embodiments herein include receiving, by a server, a request including a hyperlink directed to a source content. The server may determine whether a database associated with the server comprises the hyperlink. The database stores information of multiple entities each corresponding to one or more hyperlinks. In response to a determination that the database includes the hyperlink, the server may identify an entity corresponding to the hyperlink and provide information of the entity to the computing device. In some embodiments, in response to a determination that the database does not include the hyperlink, the server may identify related web content and return results to user. | 2021-07-29 |
