Patent number: 10983967Abstract: A data transformation system includes a schema inference module and an export module. The schema inference module is configured to dynamically create a cumulative schema for objects retrieved from a first data source. Each of the retrieved objects includes (i) data and (ii) metadata describing the data. Dynamically creating the cumulative schema includes, for each object of the retrieved objects, (i) inferring a schema from the object and (ii) selectively updating the cumulative schema to describe the object according to the inferred schema. The export module is configured to output the data of the retrieved objects to a data destination system according to the cumulative schema.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dimitris Tsirogiannis, Nathan A. Binkert, Stavros Harizopoulos, Mehul A. Shah, Benjamin A. Sowell, Bryan D. Kaplan, Kevin R. Meyer

Patent number: 10275475Abstract: A method of operating a data analysis system includes retrieving objects from a data source. Each of the retrieved objects includes (i) data and (ii) metadata describing the data. The method further includes dynamically creating a cumulative schema by, for each object of the retrieved objects: (i) inferring a schema from the object based on the metadata of the object and inferred data types of elements of the data of the object, (ii) creating a unified schema, wherein the unified schema describes both (a) the object described by the inferred schema and (b) a cumulative set of objects described by the cumulative schema, and (iii) storing the unified schema as the cumulative schema. The method further includes exporting the data of each of the retrieved objects to a data warehouse.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dimitris Tsirogiannis, Nathan A.

Patent number: 9174320Abstract: The present invention relates to a hammer union restoration apparatus wherein a main sanding unit is mounted to a base. The main sanding unit including a sander for sanding the four side faces of a lug formed on the hammer union. The sander being resiliently movable in a direction away from a side face of the lug. The sander is movable under control of a motor to rotate the sander relative to the lug around the four faces of the lug with the sander floating across the corner edges of the four faces. The present invention further includes a sander for sanding the end face of the lug.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2014Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Inventor: Kevin R. Meyer

Patent number: 5859369Abstract: A dynamometer for a snowmobile includes a pair of driver wheels which replace the tension idler wheels so as to contact the inside of the snowmobile track. The regular snowmobile tension idler wheels are removed, and the driver wheels are positioned on the idler wheel axle. In the alternative, the dynamometer is attached to the existing tension idler wheels by a coupling plate. In the alternative embodiment, the tension idler wheels are configured for power take off by including pins forming a quick connect coupling mechanism. The quick connect coupling mechanism permits the dynamometer to be connected to the snowmobile without having to remove and replace the tension idler wheels with a different pair of driver wheels. A jack is provided to lift the snowmobile track clear of the ground by applying a lifting force between the ground and the tension idler wheel axle. The dynamometer and jack are integrated so as to share common components.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1997Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: Dynojet Research, Inc.Inventors: Kevin R Meyer, Daniel W Keenan, Kenneth A Nevin
