Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods for maintaining data consistency of data blocks during migration or reconfiguration of a current configuration within a distributed data-storage system to a new configuration. In one embodiment of the present invention, the current configuration is first determined to be reconfigured. The new configuration is then initialized, and data blocks are copied from the current configuration to the new configuration. Then, the configuration states maintained by component data-storage systems that store data blocks of the current and new configurations are synchronized. Finally, the current configuration is deallocated. In a second embodiment of the present invention, a current configuration is determined to be reconfigured, and, while carrying out continuing READ and WRITE operations directed to data blocks of the current configuration in a data-consistent manner, the new configuration is initialized, data blocks are copied from the current configuration to the new configuration, and the timestamp and data states for the data blocks of the current and new configurations are synchronized.

The present invention provides a flexible system and method for notifying a user when the user has an open document which is inactive over a predetermined period of inactivity defined by the user. The user may be able to set a desirable period of inactivity for each application at the time of the system initialization and change the desirable period of inactivity for an inactive document after the user receives notification.

A communication system selection algorithm (SSA) implemented by a mobile station chooses between available systems to select a system to serve the mobile station. During initialization, the SSA causes the mobile station to scan the environment and compare available communication systems to determine the best system to provide service. After an initial system is chosen, the SSA causes the mobile station to continuously, or at discrete time intervals, scan the environment for available systems, thus allowing for a seamless switch to an available system whenever a handoff is desired. The SSA chooses the best available system based on conditions such as bit rate and cost of each available system and applying preference rules defined by a service provider and/or user of the mobile station.

A system, device, and method for authorizing transactions of a plurality of applications. The system comprises a plurality of application servers operable to authorize transactions of applications and a plurality of user devices. Each transaction authorization is dependent upon receipt, by the authorizing server, of a transmitted code verified by the server as being an appropriate transaction code for the selected application. Each user device is operable to verify the identity of a user by comparing real-time biometric input from the user with data derived from biometric input provided by the user during device initialization. Each user device is further operable to select an application from among a plurality of applications and to emit a non-repeating non-guessable transaction code appropriate for the selected application. Emission of the transaction code is dependent upon biometric verification, by the user device, of the user's identity.

Systems and methods for transmitting and updating information feeds from a server to a client are provided to increase bandwidth efficiency and improve the timeliness of information feed updates. Using OMA DS protocols, the updating of RSS feeds, for example, may be performed without having to transfer an entire RSS feed. That is, in some arrangements, only the new RSS items are synchronized with a client. A server may alert the client when a new RSS item has been added to an RSS feed. A synchronization session may then be initialized between the server and the client. A client may send a synchronization alert to the server identifying the feed or feeds for which synchronization is desired. The server may respond with one or more new items corresponding to the identified feeds. RSS item identification information may further be mapped between the client and the server.

Systems and methods for synchronizing data stores. A framework including a sync runtime enables consistent and manageable synchronization between a data store and multiple, diverse back end data stores. The sync runtime provides services such as change enumeration, conflict detection, metadata management, item ID matching, sync interruptability, and the like that are accessible to configurable adapters over an application programming interface. Each synchronizing data store can uses a sync controller to initialize an adapter that can access the services provided by the sync runtime. The sync controller can use a profile to configure each adapter. The profile can identify conflict resolution policies, synchronization filters, source and destination folders, sync direction, and the like.

The present invention provides systems, methods, computer program products, and combinations and subcombinations thereof for filtering received messages. The invention includes a client system having filtering logic, a statistical classifier module, and a classifier database. The classifier module is automatically trained, without manual intervention, when the score generated by the classifier for a received message is inconsistent with a user-defined authoritative status indication. In addition, the classifier module is initialized using user-identified messages in a ratio representative of the ratio of non-spam to spam messages received by the user.

A system and method for initialization of a computer system is described. Faster initialization of a computer system is possible by allowing certain device driver initialization tasks to overlap with other initialization and operating system tasks. option-ROMs resident on hardware device drivers define the initialization tasks to be performed prior to device driver initialization. Initial computer code for booting the computing device, such as a BIOS, is executed. As option-ROMs for hardware devices are scanned and executed, specific device initialization information is accessed from the devices and placed in pre-defined buffer areas. These accesses occur in parallel to other start up tasks. When device drivers are loaded, some of their initialization has already completed, thereby shortening the time necessary to boot the system.

The Collateral Management with Blockchain and Smart Contracts Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“CMBSC”) transforms borrow transaction request inputs via CMBSC components into borrow transaction init notification, borrow transaction sync notification outputs. A borrow transaction request associated with a borrow transaction is obtained. Transaction attributes associated with the borrow transaction are stored in a database. The transaction process optimizer component is notified regarding the borrow transaction. A blockchain sync notification associated with the borrow transaction is obtained from the transaction process optimizer component. The stored transaction attributes associated with the borrow transaction are filtered. A smart contract associated with the borrow transaction is generated. The generated smart contract is sent to a blockchain node of a blockchain network. A smart contract notification associated with the smart contract is received. A push notification regarding the smart contract notification is provided to a user interface component of a user's client.

A secure process may be created which does not allow code to be injected into it, does not allow modification of its memory or inspection of its memory. The resources protected in a secure process include all the internal state and threads running in the secure process. Once a secure process is created, the secure process is protected from access by non-secure processes. Process creation occurs atomically in kernel mode. Creating the infrastructure of a process in kernel mode enables security features to be applied that are difficult or impossible to apply in user mode. By moving setup actions previously occurring in user mode (such as creating the initial thread, allocating the stack, initialization of the parameter block, environment block and context record) into kernel mode, the need of the caller for full access rights to the created process is removed. Instead, enough state is passed from the caller to the kernel with the first system call so that the kernel is able to perform the actions previously performed using a number of calls back and forth between caller and kernel. When the kernel returns the handle to the set-up process, some of the access rights accompanying the handle are not returned. Specifically, those access rights that enable the caller to inject threads, read/write virtual memory, and interrogate or modify state of the threads of the process are not returned to the caller.

Systems and methods for restoring file system objects from image level backups of servers. The method receives a selection of an image level backup of a source, file system object(s) to be restored, and restoration parameters identifying a destination. The method initializes and attaches a virtual storage to a virtual appliance and an associated hypervisor. The method stores virtual storage data changes resulting from the file system object restoration in changes storage. The method preserves file system object information, wherein the file system object information corresponds to the source operating system (OS) and file system. The method preserves file system object information such as permissions and ownership through business logic that ensures that the file system object information for restored file system object(s) on the destination match file system object information from the source, even when the method operates on a host running a different OS than the source server.

The invention provides a method for transferring uplink control information. The method comprises the steps as follows: when uplink shared channel data and the uplink control information are required to be transferred in an uplink shared channel PUSCH of a subframe i simultaneously, a user terminal obtains the transmission power P<PUSCH> (init) of primarily transferred uplink shared channel data and the transmission power P<PUSCH> (i) of the uplink shared channel data transferred in the subframe i; the user terminal confirms the symbol quantity of the uplink control information after being coded in the subframe i according to the comparison relation between P<PUSCH> (init) and P<PUSCH> (i) and the size and the bandwidth of a transmission block when the uplink shared channel data is transferred primarily; the user terminal codes the uplink control information according to the symbol quantity of the uplink control information after being coded and transfers the coded uplink control information to a base station in the PUSCH of the subframe i.

Users of online services may avoid having to gain knowledge of the intricacies of specific Application Programming Interface (API) syntaxes and elements by using natural language requests which are processed to extract components of the request. The components are then used to find one or more matches of known APIs, and then at least one structured API call is constructed by mapping the request's components to the structured API call's elements. The system can then invoke the online service on behalf of the client, and return the results to the client, or it can return the constructed structured API call to the client. The known API details can be initialized and updated by ingesting the description documents for the structured APIs, and then using natural language processing to extract components from the descriptions, which can then be utilized in the matching process to further enhance the results of the tool.
