Abstract: This disclosure describes a payload pipeline system that, as part of an inter-network facilitation system, can facilitate digital payload throughput between network components using a staggered payload relayer. For example, the disclosed systems utilize custom tooling to implement a staggered payload relayer as an intelligent conduit or pipeline that operates as a publisher-subscriber paradigm system (as opposed to a data stream system). In some cases, the disclosed systems can utilize synchronous or asynchronous communication to receive digital payloads for events from publisher network components and to make the digital payloads available within a payload queue maintained by the staggered payload relayer (for access by subscriber network components).

Abstract: Systems and methods for a VLAN switching and routing service (VSRS) are disclosed herein. A method can include generating a table for an instance of a VSRS, which VSRS couples a first virtual layer 2 network (VLAN) with a second network. The table can contain information identifying IP addresses, MAC addresses, and virtual interface identifiers for instances within the virtual layer 2 network. The method can include receiving with the VSRS a packet from a first instance designated for delivery to a second instance within the virtual layer 2 network, identifying with the VSRS the second instance within the virtual layer 2 network for delivery of the packet based on information received with the packet and information contained within the table, and delivering the packet to the identified second instance.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to converting between structured and tabular data formats. Data can be received in a tabular format. An array can be built for each of a plurality of objects within the data in the tabular format, each object corresponding to at least one identified header of the identified headers. A data row can be parsed using at least one of the built arrays and data within the data row can be added to the structured format in a specific location based characteristics indicated in the at least one array. Data can also be converted from the structured format into the tabular format using the built arrays.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus for irradiating goods with X-rays, comprising a first source of X-rays configured for emitting X-rays along a first irradiation volume centered on a longitudinal axis (X), and a conveyor configured for driving goods such as to expose a first portion of the goods through the first irradiation volume, wherein, the conveyor is configured for driving the target products through the irradiation volume along a vertical axis (Z).

Abstract: A failsafe valve system configured to bring the valve to a predefined state (e.g., fully opened, fully closed) if the actuator fails (e.g., loss of power). The failsafe system of the present disclosure is energy efficient and reliable.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) platform to support workflow version process control. One or more workflows corresponding to one or more workflow engines are monitored. A neural network is employed to capture a relationship associated with a detected change in the monitored workflows. The neural network is leveraged to identify and assess an impact of the detected change to one or more additional workflows. Responsive to the assessment, the impacted workflow engines are optimized. The optimization includes automatically mapping and encoding changes corresponding to the impacted workflow. The one or more workflows containing the encoded changes are then executed.
