Patent number: 11823014Abstract: A method for machine learning based database management is provided. The method may include training a machine learning model to detect an anomaly that is present and/or developing in a database system. The anomaly in the database system may be detected by at least processing, with a trained machine learning model, one or more performance metrics for the database system. In response to detecting the presence of the anomaly at the database system, one or more remedial actions may be determined for correcting and/or preventing the anomaly at the database system. The one or more remedial actions may further be sent to a database management system associated with the database system. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Rajendra Kumar, Heinz Wolf, Lohit Kumar A.

Patent number: 11300476Abstract: A method and device for determining the existence of a leak in a package includes generating an AC high voltage with DC high voltage offset in a circuit. A package is placed between an inspection electrode and a detection electrode, which are located within the circuit. The inspection electrode applies the AC high voltage with the DC high voltage offset to the package. Current flow through the package is then detected by the detection electrode. A detection board then processes the current flow and sends the processed signal to a programmable logic controller which determines if a leak is present in the package. If a leak is present, a signal is sent to a display to notify a user.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: PACKAGING TECHNOLOGIES & INSPECTION, LLCInventors: Undrakh Bekhtur, Charles Stauffer, Heinz Wolf, Oliver Stauffer

Publication number: 20050029813Abstract: A pipe clamp for connecting two partially insertable pipes has a clamping strap that is placed circumferentially about the spherical end sections of the pipes inserted into one another. The clamping strap has two outwardly projecting clamping jaws provided with a hole through which a clamping screw extends. The clamping strap is curved about a transverse axis that is positioned for coaxially inserted pipes in the untightened state of the clamping strap in a central plane of the clamping strap extending perpendicularly to the coaxial center axes of the pipes at a spacing from a center of the spherical end sections of the pipes. The inner radius of the clamping strap in the untightened state is smaller than the outer radius of the spherical end sections such that the sum of the spacing and of the inner radius is greater than the outer radius of the end sections.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Helmut Geppert, Heinz Wolf, Stephan Mann, Michael Sommer
