  • UTILIZING KEY VALUE-BASED RECORD DISTRIBUTION DATA TO PERFORM PARALLELIZED SEGMENT GENERATION IN A DATABASE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240118939
    Abstract: A record processing and storage system is operable to receive a set of records for storage. The set of records are included in a plurality of pages stored by a page storage system, and each page of the plurality of pages includes a plurality of records in the set of records. Key value-based record distribution data is generated for the set of records based on a plurality of cluster key values of the set of records. A cluster key domain spanned by the plurality of cluster key values is divided into a plurality of key space sub-intervals based on the key value-based record distribution data. The set of records are segregated into a plurality of row subsets corresponding to the plurality of key space sub-intervals. A plurality sets of segments are generated by processing the plurality of row subsets in parallel.

  • REFERENCE PIXEL COLUMN READOUT
    Publication number: 20240121527
    Abstract: An image sensor may include an image sensor pixel array. The image sensor pixel array may include active image sensor pixels that generate image data based on incident light and reference pixels that are optically black for generating reference data for noise compensation. Sets of reference pixels in the same row may be coupled to respective shared readout paths in a source follower binning configuration. The shared readout path may be could to downstream readout circuits. The use of shared readout paths for the reference pixels can reduce the number of reference pixel readout paths. If desired, pixel circuitry may be implemented on a first die, while readout circuitry and at least a portion of the reference pixel readout paths may be implemented on a second die mounted to the first die.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSTALLATION OF TRAIN DETECTION APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20240118409
    Abstract: Methods and systems for train detection apparatus angle alignment is described. A train detection system includes a train detection apparatus configured for installation at an installation site at a defined angle with respect to railroad tracks and a processor configured to execute a method for aligning the train detection apparatus to the defined angle. The processor configured to determine a railroad tracks angle with respect to a reference angle based on an image captured of the installation site, obtain, from a sensor, a train detection apparatus angle with respect to the reference angle, determine an alignment angle based on the railroad tracks angle and the train detection apparatus angle, and send the alignment angle to substantially align the train detection apparatus to the railroad tracks in accordance with the defined angle.

  • Method of forming and heat treating coiled tubing
    Patent number: 11952648
    Abstract: Described herein are coiled tubes with improved and varying properties along the length that are produced by using a continuous and dynamic heat treatment process (CDHT). Coiled tubes can be uncoiled from a spool, subjected to a CDHT process, and coiled onto a spool. A CDHT process can produce a “composite” tube such that properties of the tube along the length of the tube are selectively varied. For example, the properties of the tube can be selectively tailored along the length of the tube for particular application for which the tube will be used.
