The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Systems and methods for structuring unstructured data according to a data object structure that enables fast query look-ups across a variety of space and time dimensions. Furthermore, many embodiments optimize the storage of the data objects using a set of compression techniques that configure the data types used for the data objects based on properties of the stored data. Furthermore, many embodiments provide are able to service query look-up requests without having to deserialize data within the byte stream format as stored in memory by encoding information that provide memory locations for requested data, thereby allowing for the immediate retrieval of the data as it is stored in the persistent memory.”

The patent application was filed on May 1, 2018 (16/610,440).
