Publication number: 20220414113Abstract: An approach to implement an extract, transform and load system, a queue is provided for holding units of data between extraction and transformation. When units of data suffer a rate limit error in the load phase, they are requeued so they can be resubmitted for transformation. The contents of the queue are monitored and, if too many requeued units of data are detected in the queue, then this is taken as an indicator of an unacceptable number of rate limit errors and active pacing management is triggered. A retry schedule is defined for the requeued units of data. Extraction is temporarily halted to allow the requeued units of data to be retransformed without more units of data queuing up. Then, after the suspension is lifted, a pacing delay is inserted between subsequent extract events to avoid the same load phase bottleneck recurring.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Chengxuan Xing, Doina Liliana Klinger, Alexander Robert Wood, Tom Soal

Publication number: 20220356706Abstract: A number of modular preformed skeletal steel panels are mounted side by side in a row on a building structure to form a composite panel assembly on the building structure. Each modular preformed skeletal steel panel comprises two mesh layers, namely a bottom mesh layer and a top mesh layer supported spaced-apart in parallel planes by intermediate spacers extending between the layers. The bottom layer has a plurality of spaced-apart outwardly projecting splice bars for interengagement with an adjacent preformed skeletal steel panel in the panel assembly thus facilitating interengagement of the modular preformed skeletal steel panels in the composite panel assembly. Each spacer comprises a cross member engaged with the top layer and having outwardly extending legs at opposite ends of the cross member. A lower end of each leg terminates in a foot which engages with the bottom layer. The cross member, legs and feet are all mutually perpendicular.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2020Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Martin Anthony Woods, Paul Robert Woods
