Episerver Assigned Patent

Episerver Inc., Nashua, NH, has been assigned a patent (11,249,991) developed by Pingry, Spencer Eldon, Leesburg, VA, and Mulieri, Jonathan Bartholomew, Broadlands, VA, for “system and method for creating storage containers in a data storage system.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Various implementations of the invention create storage containers in a data storage system. A computing processor receives a new data record to be stored in a data storage container which is configured to store a fixed number of stored data records. The computing processor determines whether a number of the plurality of stored data records in the data storage container is within a certain threshold of the fixed number of stored data records for the data storage container. For data storage containers residing in a sequential data space, when the number of records is within the certain threshold, the computing processor opens a new data storage container, stores the new data record in the new data storage container, and closes the data storage container to new data records. For the data storage containers residing in a finite data space, when the number of records is within the certain threshold, the computing processor opens a new data storage container, splits the plurality of stored data records in the data storage container into a first plurality of stored data records and a second plurality of stored data records, where each of the first plurality of stored data records has a data value within a first range, and where each of the second plurality of stored data records has the data value within a second range. The computing processor stores the first plurality of stored data records in the data storage container, stores the second plurality of the stored data records in the new data storage container. The computing processors stores the new data record in either the data storage container or the new data storage container based on whether the data value in the new data record corresponds to the first range or the second range.”

The patent application was filed on November 29, 2018 (16/204,008).
