Encrypted augmentation storage
Google Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,608,969) developed by Millikin, John, Mountain View, CA, for a “
encrypted augmentation storage.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for storing and retrieving encrypted data. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, at a server computer separate from a user device, a first encrypted resource encrypted by use of a public encryption key, wherein the public encryption key is paired with a private encryption key according to an asymmetric encryption key scheme, retrieving, by the server computer, a second encrypted resource encrypted by use of the public key, augmenting, by the server computer, the first encrypted resource with the second encrypted resource to form an encrypted data tuple, encrypting, by the server computer, the encrypted data tuple, and storing, by the server computer, the encrypted data tuple as the second encrypted resource.

The patent application was filed on February 25, 2016 (15/053,665).

Grouping of objects in distributed storage system based
on journals and placement policies

Google Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,600,558) developed by Kesselman, Alexander, Sunnyvale, CA, Drobychev, Alexandre, San Mateo, CA, and Datuashvili, George, Cupertino, CA, for a “
grouping of objects in a distributed storage system based on journals and placement policies.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Managing placement of object replicas is performed at a first instance of a distributed storage system. One or more journals are opened for storage of object chunks. Each journal is associated with a single placement policy. A first object is received comprising at least a first object chunk. The first object is associated with a first placement policy. The first object chunk is stored in a first journal whose associated placement policy matches the first placement policy. The first journal stores only object chunks for objects whose placement policies match the first placement policy. For the first journal, the receiving and storing operations are repeated for multiple objects whose associated placement policies match the first placement policy, until a first termination condition occurs. Then, the first journal is closed. Subsequently, the first journal is replicated to a second instance of the distributed storage system according to the first placement policy.

The patent application was filed on June 25, 2013 (13/927,010).

Hierarchy of servers for query processing of column chunks
in distributed column chunk data store

Google Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,576,024) developed by Uppala, Radha Krishna, Bellevue, WA, for a “
hierarchy of servers for query processing of column chunks in a distributed column chunk data store.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “An improved system and method for query processing in a distributed column chunk data store is provided. A distributed column chunk data store may be provided by multiple storage servers operably coupled to a network. A storage server provided may include a database engine for partitioning a data table into the column chunks for distributing across multiple storage servers, a storage shared memory for storing the column chunks during processing of semantic operations performed on the column chunks, and a storage services manager for striping column chunks of a partitioned data table across multiple storage servers. Query processing may be performed by storage servers or query processing servers operably coupled by a network to storage servers in the column chunk data store. To do so, a hierarchy of servers may be dynamically determined to process execution steps of a query transformed for distributed processing.

The patent application was filed on October 30, 2014 (14/528,688).

Integrating cloud storage and network service
Google Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,559,996) developed by Clark, Stephen Nowland, Boulder, CO, Hudgins, Joshua, and Sladden, Mandy Richau, Lafayette, CO, for a “
systems and methods for integrating cloud storage and network service.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A cloud storage system receives information associating a user’s cloud storage account with a network service account associated with a service provider. The cloud storage system identifies files associated with the network service account, retrieves metadata associated with the files, and provides a list of the files and their associated metadata to the user. The metadata stored by the cloud storage system may indicate the context of the identified files within the network service account. In response to a user command, the cloud storage system may store one of the identified files in the cloud storage account, and may continue to provide the content of the stored file within the network service account even if the stored file is deleted from the network service account.

The patent application was filed on July 2, 2013 (13/933,972).

Unified searchable storage for resource-constrained
Google Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,558,248) developed by Kirazci, Ulas, Mountain View, CA, Burns, Brendan D., Seattle, WA, Das, Abhishek, San Francisco, CA, Jain, Ankit, Milpitas, CA, and Patterson, Anna, Saratoga, CA, for a “
unified searchable storage for resource-constrained and other devices.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The present disclosure describes a data indexing and search service that resides locally on a computing device, (e.g., a mobile phone) and that can host data for multiple applications on the device. By centralizing the storage of data as well as the search and query functions, unified search queries can be performed by the service.

The patent application was filed on August 20, 2013 (13/971,240).

Data management in data storage device
Google Inc., Mountain View, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,558,112) developed by Borchers, Albert T., Aptos, CA, for a “
data management in a data storage device.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A data storage device includes multiple flash memory devices with each of the flash memory devices being arranged into multiple blocks having multiple pages for storing data. The data storage device includes a memory controller operationally coupled with the flash memory devices. The memory controller is configured to mark one or more of the pages of the flash memory devices as available for deletion and maintain the marked pages as available for being read until deleted during garbage collection.

The patent application was filed on May 8, 2012 (13/466,570).
