Abstract: A pump system for selectively extracting nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) from groundwater includes a fuel pump with current monitoring and a control assembly. The system utilizes a conductive probe within a probe body to detect a fluid interface, distinguishing NAPLs from water by measuring conductivity. The control assembly monitors the pump's current draw and adjusts operation to avoid water intake, thereby protecting the pump from damage. The probe body features an insulated shell to ensure accurate readings, and the control assembly uses real-time data to activate or deactivate the pump based on fluid type. The system is further configurable to calibrate for various contaminant conditions, optimizing efficient NAPL extraction from contaminated environments.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system determines activity features for candidates that match parameters of a search from a moderator of an opportunity, wherein the activity features include an amount of interaction between a candidate and additional moderators and a frequency of visits by the candidate to a platform used to conduct the interaction between the candidate and the additional moderators. Next, the system applies a machine learning model to the activity features to produce activeness scores representing levels of activity of the candidates with respect to the platform. The system then generates a ranking of the candidates according to the activeness scores. Finally, the system outputs at least a portion of the ranking as a set of search results of the search.

Abstract: A data processing pipeline is configured to create and utilize a file view—an abstract representation of a data file that includes a data file content handle and metadata comprising file properties and pipeline-definable tags—that is passed from stage to stage in the pipeline using out-of-band processing (i.e., processing that is independent from data file record processing). The stages in the pipeline are configured to transform the file view by modifying the metadata to enable efficient data file record processing while minimizing the amount of content that needs to be pulled from the data file and held in memory between stages.

Abstract: In multi-threaded or multi-processor computing systems, a deadlock may occur when two or more processes or threads are unable to proceed because they are each waiting for a resource that the other holds. As a result, progress is halted because conflicting entities are stuck in a circular dependency, and none can release the resources they hold to let the others continue. Systems and methods are provided wherein a resource reservation is carried out in two steps. The first step causes query nodes to add an identifier to a queue and, upon a request and the identifier being in a first position, a non-sharable resource is reserved. As a result, non-sharable resources are reserved in order and when needed, thereby preventing deadlocks.
