  • Patent number: 11971799
    Abstract: Automated query retry includes selecting a first node of a plurality of nodes of an execution platform in response to a query. The first node is configured with a first version of a database platform. A first execution of the query is performed using the first version of the database platform at the first node. The method further includes detecting the first execution results in a failed execution. A second execution of the query is scheduled. The second execution uses at least one of the first version of the database platform or a second version of the database platform configured at a second node of the plurality of nodes. The second version is released after the first version. A cause of the failed execution of the query at the first node is determined based at least in part on a result of the second execution of the query.

  • Patent number: 11946740
    Abstract: A coating thickness measuring instrument comprising: a magnetic induction probe comprising at least one drive coil and at least one pick-up coil; a driver for driving an alternating current in the or each drive coil; and a detector for detecting the output of the or each pick-up coil; and a processor configured to: apply a transfer function to the detector output to produce an output which corresponds to a measured coating thickness; and, scale both the drive current and detector output simultaneously in response to the output. The scaling may be changed in a step-wise manner. The scaling applied to the drive current may be inversely proportional to the scaling applied to the detector output. The scaling may be defined by a first and second scaling factor, stored as a pair. The instrument may store two or more pairs of scaling factors and select a pair in response to the measured coating thickness.
