Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Feng Li - Parsippany NJ, US

International Classification:

E04H 9/02

US Classification:

052167700

Abstract:

A Shock absorbing support system isolates vibrations that would otherwise pass through the important instrument mounted on the vibration source. The isolation includes springs and dampers under the bottom of the instrument while dampers around tops of the instrument. The combination of the springs and the dampers results in a dissipation of kinetic energy caused by vibrations that would otherwise pass through the instrument and cause significant dynamic load and damages to the support and the instrument.

International Classification:

US Classification:

348 47, 348 54, 348E13026, 348E13074

Abstract:

A variety of implementations are described. At least one implementation modifies one or more images from a stereo-image pair in order to produce a new image pair that has a different disparity map. The new disparity map satisfies a quality condition that the disparity of the original image pair did not. In one particular implementation, a first image and a second image that form a stereo image pair are accessed. A disparity map is generated for a set of features from the first image that are matched to features in the second image. The set of features is less than all features in the first image. A quality measure is determined based on disparity values in the disparity map. The first image is modified, in response to the determined quality measure, such that disparity for the set of features in the first image is also modified.

Abstract:

Architecture that enables a Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) to auto-scale container sizes on behalf of tenants. An abstraction is provided that enables tenants to reason about monetary budget and query latency, rather than resource provisioning. An auto-scaling module automatically determines a container size for a subsequent billing interval based on telemetry that comprises latencies (e.g., waits), resource utilizations, and available budget, for example. A set of robust signals are derived from database engine telemetry and combined to significantly improve accuracy of resource demand estimation for database workloads. In a more specific implementation, resource demands can be estimated for arbitrary SQL (structured query language) workloads in a relational database management system (RDBMS).

International Classification:

G06F 12/02
G06F 3/06

Abstract:

A server system may include a cluster of multiple computers that are networked for high-speed data communications. Each of the computers has a remote direct memory access (RDMA) network interface to allow high-speed memory sharing between computers. A relational database engine of each computer is configured to utilize a hierarchy of memory for temporary storage of working data, including in order of decreasing access speed (a) local main memory, (b) remote memory accessed via RDMS, and (c) mass storage. The database engine uses the local main memory for working data, and additionally uses the RDMA accessible memory for working data when the local main memory becomes depleted. The server system may include a memory broker to which individual computers report their available or unused memory, and which leases shared memory to requesting computers.
