Oracle International Assigned Patent

Oracle International Corporation, Redwood Shores, CA, has been assigned a patent (11935570) developed by Wyman, Robert Olin, Berthoud, CO, and Abbott, Jr., Frank Patrick, Brighton, CO, for a “data tape quality analysis.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Techniques for determining a data tape read quality value are disclosed. A data tape system generates a value representing a quality of a data tape based on attributes of the data tape. The system calculates the data quality value using an algorithm based on: (a) a particular data tape error correction value, (b) data tape length value representing a length of data tape traversed during data-processing operations, and (c) a scaling factor. The scaling factor is based on a relationship between the particular data tape error correction value and a rate of degradation of the data tape. The scaling factor may be generated by applying a trained machine learning model to attributes of a data tape. The model generates a scaling factor for a particular data tape based on the attributes of the particular data tape.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-05-26 (17/826017).
