20110320487 | ELECTRONIC RESOURCE STORAGE SYSTEM - A peer-to-peer network providing a distributed document store is disclosed. A problem with known distributed document stores is that search engines are unable to respond quickly to changes in the stored documents or the addition or removal of peers. In the described embodiment, the peers in the network send search queries to one another and each keeps a record of which peers most frequently respond to those queries, and the quality of the responses. The peers each maintain a data structure 46 including connection weights to each of the other peers which depend on that record. By then forwarding search queries to peers selected on the basis of the connection weights, rapid retrieval of relevant documents is enabled. Search queries are generated automatically by peers as well as being generated by users. Because the generation of search queries (either automatically or by users) updates the connection weights, the peer-to-peer network is able to rapidly adapted to changes in the documents stored in the peer-to-peer network. In addition to document storage and retrieval the invention finds application in distributed applications which dynamically select a Web Service to perform a function at run-time. | 2011-12-29 |

20110320489 | DISTRIBUTED GLOBALLY ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION NETWORK IMPLEMENTED TO MAINTAIN UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY - A distributed information network is constructed for gathering information from sites distributed across a globally accessible computer network, i.e., the Internet. The distributed information network preferably includes a root server that stores a list of multiple distributed sites each represented by metadata.

The information provider of each of the distributed sites stores metadata corresponding to information content that is retrievable in response to the profiled information search request for search results derivable from the information content to which the metadata correspond. A profiled information communication link between the root server and each of the multiple distribution sites enables formation of a path for delivery of the search results to a destination site, from a site or sites represented by the metadata of the profiled information search request. | 2011-12-29 |

20110320496 | CONCURRENCY CONTROL FOR CONFLUENT TREES - Architecture that addresses the efficient detection of conflicts and the merging of data structures such as trees, when possible. The process of detecting conflicts and merging the trees is a meld operation. Confluent trees offer transactional consistency with some degree of isolation, and scaling out a concurrent system based on confluent trees can be accomplished where the meld operation is more efficient than the transaction computations. Transactions execute optimistically using lazily versioned “intention trees” that efficiently describe dependencies and effects using structure and content version information for each intention subtree. The data structure is modified by melding the intention trees in sequence, which causes each transaction to either commit (producing an incremental new version of the data structure) or abort (identifying a conflict which prevents the intention tree from being melded). The architecture is computationally efficient and completes without needing to access much of each tree. | 2011-12-29 |

20110320512 | Decimal Floating Point Mechanism and Process of Multiplication without Resultant Leading Zero Detection - A decimal multiplication mechanism for fixed and floating point computation in a computer having a coefficient mechanism without resulting leading zero detection (LZD) and process which assumes that the final product will be M+N digits in length and performs all calculations based on this assumption. Least significant digits that would be truncated are no longer stored, but retained as sticky information which is used to finalize the result product. Once the computation of the product is complete, a final check based on the examination of key bits observed during partial product accumulation is used to determine if the final product is truly M+N digits in length, or M+N−1 digits. If the latter is true, then corrective final product shifting is employed to obtain the proper result. This eliminates the need for dedicated leading zero detection hardware used to determine the number of significant digits in the final product. The corrective final product shifting also incorporates adjustments to the coefficient of the product when the product's exponent is at its extremes and the final product must be brought to be within the precision and range of a given format. | 2011-12-29 |

20110320581 | Reallocation of Serving Proxy Function in IMS - The invention relates to a method of changing allocation of Serving-Call Session Control Functions (S-CSCFs) to a user of an IMS network. The user is being provided with services via a first S-CSCF allocated to the user. The method includes implementing a re-allocation instruction at the first S-CSCF. The reallocation instruction includes criteria for de-allocation of the user from the first S-CSCF. The S-CSCF determines if the criteria are met; and if the criteria are met, de-allocates the user. | 2011-12-29 |
