Filed:

Mar 3, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/367174

Inventors:

Adam Pierce Harris - Foster City CA, US

Assignee:

Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. - Foster City CA

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707770, 707694, 707716, 707792, 707966

Abstract:

Exemplary systems and methods for server management are provided. An exemplary system comprises a plurality of servers, with each server having the ability to access a database or, in some embodiments, be configured to perform a calculation, computation or make a determination of a particular value, values or other information. A communications network delivers queries to each server whereby a look-up table directs query processing by the servers. Further embodiments of the system feature a program logic controller for rebalancing the workload of the network servers. Exemplary methods of processing queries on the system comprise submitting a query to the network, communicating the query to each server in the network and each server looking-up on a look-up table the processing responsibilities of the servers in the network. The query is processed by the server having primary responsibility for processing the query while other the servers monitor query processing. Transmission of a query result to a user typically completes the process.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00
G06N 7/04

US Classification:

706 54

Abstract:

Bodies of media may be summarized in various ways depending on numerous factors, thus resulting in summaries that are tailored to particular desires of consumers. An instruction may be received to provide a summary of at least a portion of the body of media. Software stored in memory may then be executed by a processor to determine one or more factors for providing the summary. The summary may be selected, based on the one or more factors, from a plurality of available summaries stored in memory. The plurality of available summaries corresponds to the at least a portion of the body of media. Finally, the selected summary may be provided to a consumer via an output device.

Abstract:

Provided herein are systems, compositions and methods for tracking, sorting and/or identifying sample polynucleotides using nucleic acid barcodes. The barcodes provided herein are oligonucleotides that are designed to be uniquely identifiable. The nucleic acid barcodes have properties that permit them to be sequenced with high accuracy and/or reduced error rates. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid barcodes are designed to have certain nucleotide sequences that make up overlapping dibase color positions (also called color positions). The order of the overlapping dibase color positions can be determined using fluorophore-encoded dibase probes in a fluorophore color calling scheme to give high fidelity reads.
