Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for synchronizing data in a source system to an application without relying on middleware. An embodiment operates by performing an initial load of records for an object for an application from a source system, thereby retrieving a first set of records. The embodiment first maps the first set of records to the object using a transform template. The embodiment creates the object in the application using the first set of records based on the first mapping. The embodiment performs a delta load of records for the object from the source system, thereby retrieving a second set of records. The embodiment second maps the second set of records to the object using the transform template. The embodiment then updates the object using the second set of records based on the second mapping.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automated latency-aware purging of database records. A server determines a synchronization latency between a storage database and an online transaction processing (OLTP) database. When the synchronization latency is below a predetermined threshold, the server identifies a first database object in the OLTP database and selects database records to be purged from the first database object based upon a data purge instruction set. The server identifies a second database object in the storage database that corresponds to the first database object and selects database records in the second database object based upon the data purge instruction set. The server purges the database records from the first database object in the OLTP database when a characteristic of the database records to be purged from the first database object matches a characteristic of the database records selected in the second database object.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for controlling memory utilization to accommodate changes in memory accessibility due to memory refreshes include controlling bandwidth of at least one processor based on a refresh rate of a memory. Some embodiments may include receiving the refresh rate of the memory at a memory controller, and determining whether the refresh rate of the memory violates a high or low memory refresh rate threshold, sending an instruction configured to reduce or restore the bandwidth of the at least one processor in response to the determination. In some embodiments the methods may be performed by a quality of service manager, which may be part of a memory controller.

The electric heater may be in series or in parallel with a second, or main heater. The electric heater may be used between two reaction zones or between a feed exchange heater and a first reaction zone. The electric heater preferably provides between 5 to 40% of the heating requirement for the process stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing software resources such as machine learning/artificial intelligence models. The system includes a number of components that provide versioning services to both software resources and to data sets. A data storage component also addresses storage/retrieval functions for the system. A user interface element is also present to provide users with both a GUI and a command line interface. An assessment element assesses user selected software assets for project inclusion, with the assessment being based on good software development principles and practices. Once a project of selected software assets has passed the assessment stage, the software assets are pipelined for execution by an execution unit. The outputs of the execution unit are sent to a data output module automatically populates predetermined and preconfigured templates with the outputs to produce reports. The outputs may be final outputs or they may be intermediate results produced by the software assets.

Abstract: Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader having a first RFID tag having a first antenna element operating at a first transmit power. The first RFID tag receives, in a first time interval, a first interrogation command from a first RFID reader through the first antenna element. The first RFID tag transmits, in the first time interval, a first response signal to the first RFID reader. The RFID reader comprises a second antenna element that operates at a second transmit power and a processor communicatively coupled to the second antenna element. The processor transmits, in the first time interval, a second interrogation command to one or more second RFID tags through the second antenna element. The first RFID tag transmits, in a second time interval, a third interrogation command to a first RFID tag of a second RFID reader through the first antenna element.

Abstract: The present disclosure a method for data regulations-aware cloud storage and processing service allocation. Conventional approaches fail to address the technical problem of data placement for storage as well as processing, considering multiple criteria. Further, the conventional approaches fail to address compliance with data regulations, tier pricing policy for multiple Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) which impacts storage and processing center selection and constraint satisfaction. The present disclosure proposes a joint optimization model for the selection of storage and processing services from multiple cloud service providers, taking into practical consideration of data regulations and tiered pricing, which has not been addressed in the prior art. To solve this hard multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem, the present disclosure utilizes a cost-reduction-based algorithm for obtaining optimal solution.
