Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement a bounded group by query system that computes approximate time-sliced statistics for groups of records in a dataset according to a group by query. In embodiments, a single pass scan of the dataset is performed to accumulate exact results for a maximum number of groups in a result grouping structure (RGS) and approximate results for additional groups in an approximate result grouping structure (ARGS). RGSs and ARGSs are accumulated by a set of accumulator nodes and provided to an aggregator node, which combines the received structures to generate exact or approximate statistical results for at least a subset of the groups in the dataset. Advantageously, the disclosed query system is able to produce approximate results for at least some of the groups in a single pass of the dataset using size-bounded data structures, without predetermining the actual number of groups in the dataset.

The method implemented at a first NF node includes receiving a subscription request of an event for a user equipment, UE, from a third NF node; transmitting, to a second NF node that serves the UE, a subscription report request for the event for the UE; receiving, from a fourth NF node that currently serves the UE, a UE registration request for the UE, including an indication indicating whether the UE is in a restricted service area; and determining whether to transmit a notification for the event to the third NF node based on the UE registration request. The present disclosure further discloses a corresponding method implemented at the second NF node. The present disclosure further provides corresponding computer readable medium.

Abstract: A method for detecting and responding to damage in a rotor blade of a wind turbine includes monitoring at least one signal of a pitch actuator of a pitch system of the rotor blade of the wind turbine. The signal(s) is a proxy for a pitch driving torque of the pitch actuator of the pitch system. Thus, the method includes defining a metric that captures certain behavior of the proxy for the pitch driving torque of the pitch actuator of the pitch system. The method further includes comparing the metric to a corresponding metric associated with a reference rotor blade representing a healthy rotor blade. Moreover, the method includes implementing a control action when the metric is outside of a predetermined range defined by the healthy rotor blade.

Abstract: A message distribution technique permits individual subscribers to receive text messages from a broadcaster. The broadcaster uploads a text message to a central processing service where it may be redirected to a chat room associated with the broadcaster. In addition, a push notification is sent to ail subscribers of a particular broadcaster to indicate the delivery of a text message from the broadcaster. The push notification may also contain a link that, when activated by the subscriber, initiates an associated software application program that navigates the subscriber directly to the chat room to view the text message. The text message may be generated and uploaded by the broadcaster without having to activate the software application. The push notification may also be received by subscribers without having to activate the software program. In one embodiment, the broadcaster can limit distribution of the video based on a geographic restriction.

Abstract: A video distribution technique permits individual subscribers to pay a nominal fee to follow celebrities and receive videos directly therefrom. An individual may qualify as a broadcaster by having a sufficient fan base as measured by the number of followers in existing social media services. The broadcaster uploads video to a central processing service where it may be transcoded to a convenient communication protocol for distribution. In addition, a warning message is sent to all subscribers of a particular broadcaster to indicate the impending arrival of an incoming video from the broadcaster. In one embodiment, the broadcaster can limit distribution of the video based on a geographic restriction. The broadcaster provides the restriction data and the system filters the subscriber list to include subscribers that meet the geographic requirements, such as residence in a particular area or current presence within a certain area. Messages sent only the targeted subscribers.

Abstract: A video distribution technique permits individual users to view a streaming video of an event if they are located outside an exclusion zone surrounding the location of the event. The exclusion zone may be a distance (e.g., 50 miles) or a geographical zone (e.g., a city or county border). When a user attempts to subscribe to the streaming viewing, the system determines the location of the user. If the user is within the exclusion zone, the request for streaming is rejected. If the user location is outside the exclusion zone, the request for streaming is accepted. User location can be determined using global positioning system (GPS) data, cell-assisted location data, WiFi location data or the like.

Abstract: A bond wire transformer comprises a plurality of primary bond wires coupled in parallel; and a plurality of secondary bond wires coupled in parallel, each secondary bond wire being spaced apart from and oriented relative to a corresponding primary bond wire so as to achieve a desired mutual inductance between the corresponding primary and secondary bond wires, thereby providing magnetic coupling between the primary and secondary bond wires.

Abstract: A web-based hosted solution through which application developers create, manage and monitor application usage analytics in an online manner. During the development process, a usage monitoring API is integrated into the application and the application is deployed. As users interact with the application, a log file is generated. If the application is able to write to a local file system, usage information is gathered in a log file local to the deployed application and then dispatched to an upload server for processing in a batch manner. If the application is not able to write to the user machine's local file system, the usage information is sent to a remote logging server, preferably on a just-in-time basis, and then the log file is generated on the logging server. The usage information tracked comprises “features,” “faults” and “failures” of the application, independent of platform, location, and number of deployed application instances.

Abstract: A web-based hosted solution through which application developers create, manage and monitor application usage analytics in an online manner. Preferably, an application under test is one of: application software, a script-enabled web application, or a rich Internet application (RIA). During the development process, a usage monitoring API is integrated into the application and the application is deployed. As users interact with the application, a log file is generated, typically in one of two ways. If the application is able to write to a local file system (in the user's machine), usage information is gathered in a log file local to the deployed application and then dispatched to an upload server for processing in a batch manner. If the application is not able to write to the user machine's local file system, the usage information is sent to a remote logging server, preferably on a just-in-time basis, and then the log file is generated on the logging server.
