Patent number: 11757959Abstract: Systems and methods for specifying a stream processing topology via a client-side API without server-side support. A schema may be generated by a client-side application using a query language and transmitted to a stream processor registry, wherein the schema defines a desired data stream. The stream processor registry, acting as a server-side run time corresponding to the query language, may store the schema as metadata. The stream processor registry may generate a stream processing topology based on the metadata to obtain data relevant to the data stream and generate a user-specific topic comprising the data relevant to the data stream. The stream processor registry may filter the data relevant to the data stream based a subscription call by the client to generate a target topic comprising portions of the data relevant to the data stream.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Wojciech Trocki, Manyanda Chitimbo, Enda Martin Phelan

Patent number: 9458479Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter demonstrates that ThnG and ThnQ enzymes encoded by the thienamycin gene cluster in Streptomyces cattleya oxidize the C-2 and C-6 moieties of carbapenems, respectively. ThnQ stereospecifically hydroxylates PS-5 giving N-acetyl thienamycin. ThnG catalyzes sequential desaturation and sulfoxidation of PS-5, giving PS-7 and its sulfoxide. The ThnG and ThnQ enzymes are relatively substrate selective, but give rise to the oxidative diversity of carbapenems produced by S. cattleya, and orthologues likely function similarly in allied streptomyces.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITYInventors: Craig Arthur Townsend, Micah Jeffrey Bodner, Ryan Martin Phelan, Michael Francis Freeman
