Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes filtering a first plurality of requests based on one or more criteria to generate first filtered requests, the first plurality of requests being associated with a first query plan that is associated with a first instance, identifying a first application associated with at least a portion of the first filtered requests, and determining a quantity of cores used by the first application based at least in part on the portion of the first filtered requests associated with the first application.

Abstract: A system for use in a wellbore, comprises a length of casing, a structure that is configured to deform with deformation of the casing, said structure being affixed to the length of casing at substantially the same radial position along the length of casing, and a sensing device that is configured to measure deformation of the structure, said device comprising a plurality of sensors that are distributed with respect to at least one of the length of said structure and the periphery of said structure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for analyzing and enhancing query plans. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a query plan, automatically identifying, by one or more computers, one or more operations included within the query plan that may degrade the performance of a query, and providing a report that identifies the identified operations as performance degrading operations.

Abstract: A light source assembly and associated method of forming same includes a generally planar light emitting device having parallel first and second generally planar surfaces that are interconnected along a perimeter. A seal extends over at least a portion of the light emitting device. Further, a sidewall portion encloses the perimeter of a light emitting device, and a cover portion may extend over at least a portion of the light emitting device. The method includes folding perimeter edges of an enlarged backsheet, or providing a frame seal that is dimensioned so that perimeter edges may be folded over the light emitting device.
