US Patent:

6356936, Mar 12, 2002

Filed:

May 20, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/315732

Inventors:

David Leigh Donoho - Berkeley CA
David Salim Hindawi - Berkeley CA
Lisa Ellen Lippincott - Berkeley CA

Assignee:

BigFix, Inc. - Emeryville CA

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709206, 709225

Abstract:

The invention disclosed herein enables a collection of computers and associated communications infrastructure to offer a new communications process which allows information providers to broadcast information to a population of information consumers. The information may be targeted to those consumers who have a precisely formulated need for the information. This targeting may be based on information which is inaccessible to other communications protocols. The targeting also includes a time element. Information can be brought to the attention of the consumer precisely when it has become applicable, which may occur immediately upon receipt of the message, but may also occur long after the message arrives. The communications process may operate without intruding on consumers who do not exhibit the precisely-specified need for the information, and it may operate without compromising the security or privacy of the consumers who participate.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709224, 709226, 709229, 702130, 702141, 370232

Abstract:

A method of displaying capacity information relating to computer resources over a preselected period of time. The computer resource is connected to a communications network and the method includes collecting data relating to capacity of the resource by periodically sampling preselected resource elements at a preselected fixed interval to define a capacity variable for that resource. The periodic sampling takes place from a location on the network that is remote from the computer resource and over a period of time for the resource element. The capacity variable of the resource element is compared with capacity variable(s) collected immediately prior to said capacity variable. The capacity variable is stored, together with an associated timestamp, if said capacity variable falls outside a preselected margin of the average of the prior capacity variables. For each resource, the combined preselected capacity values of each preselected resource element are displayed in graphical and tabular form in reference to the total capacity of the preselected resource.

International Classification:

G06K 936

US Classification:

382240, 382280, 348442

Abstract:

A data processing technique called a Ridgelet transform is disclosed for more efficiently representing information. Original data samples (e. g. , in the time domain) are received and transformed into frequency domain values provided in Cartesian coordinates. The frequency domain values provided in Cartesian coordinates are then transformed to digital polar coordinates (provided in a digital polar grid). Because the polar grid is non-uniform, the polar coordinate values can be weighted or normalized. A Wavelet transform is performed on data derived the frequency domain values provided in digital polar coordinates to generate Wavelet coefficients (or Ridgelet coefficients). Next a thresholding or filtering process can be performed on the Ridgelet coefficients to select a group of larger Wavelet coefficients and to discard the remaining Wavelet coefficients.

US Classification:

707 3, 707 1, 707 10, 715523

Abstract:

The invention disclosed herein enables a collection of computers and associated communications infrastructure to offer a new communications process which allows a requestor to receive configuration information of a computational device from a responder. The requester first sends query documents that contain queries for configuration information of a computational device to the responder; the responder automatically collects the answers for the queries and sends a response document that contains the configuration information of the computational device to the requestor. The queries are written in a formal descriptive language which is transparent, safe for network evaluation, and extensible, and the configuration reader of the responder can parse the queries and automatically invoke a set of standard inspectors to obtain the corresponding configuration information.
