20140297611 | WORKLOAD BALANCING IN A DISTRIBUTED DATABASE - A distributed database management system balances the load on query boundaries and to achieve a more evenly balanced load. The system includes two or more query processors with a common data source. A database client manages a transaction including two or more queries. A transaction analyzer checks if a transaction can be processed by more than one query processor. A query processor optimizer locates the optimum query processor for each query in the transaction based on workload of each query processor, while a workload balancer directs each query to the optimum query processor if the transaction can be processed by more than one query processor. This approach is particularly well suited to a clustered database environment that includes query processor nodes that work off a shared disk to provide database access to clients that connect to the node. | 10-02-2014 |

20150178682 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONFIDENTIALLY AND ANONYMOUSLY MATCHING JOB CANDIDATES WITH JOB OPPORTUNITIES - A method for matching job candidates with job requirements in a Confidential Resume System operating on a distributed computer-based network. A recruiter can identify a preselected number of first level candidates by performing one or more candidate searches on the system. The system provides candidate data, but that information is redacted to withhold information that personally identifies the candidate. Also, to provide adequate information security, each party determines whether it desires to identify itself to the other party. If a party does not desire to identify itself, the system redacts all information capable of individually identifying that party. On the other hand, if a party does desire to identify itself, the system conducts all communications without redaction. | 06-25-2015 |
