Abstract: Systems and processes for identifying a pointer in an image of an analog instrument are provided herein. An instrument contour in the image corresponding to the analog instrument may be identified. A plurality of candidate pointer contours in the image may be identified and screened using one or more geometric property screening techniques including an evaluation of a geometric area, a distance parameter, and/or a gravity center of the plurality of candidate pointer contours. Principal component analysis (PCA) may be performed to select an identified pointer contour from among the reduced plurality of candidate pointer contours. A linear regression model may be applied to pixel points in the contour area of the identified pointer contour and a slope and angle of an associated pointer represented by the identified pointer contour may be determined based on an output of the linear regression model.

Abstract: Provided are a system and method for generating a database scheme for storing different types of data structures. In one example, the method includes receiving a first data object having a first data structure and a second data object having a second data structure that is different than the first data structure, generating a database scheme based on the first data structure and the second data structure, wherein the generated database scheme retains information about a structure of the first data structure and a structure of the second data structure, and storing the first data object and the second data object, in a database, according to the generated database scheme. According to various aspects, by at least partially retaining the original structure of the data objects, further searching and processing may be performed on different types of data objects stored in a relational database.

Abstract: Technologies are described for facilitating transaction processing within a database environment having a coordinator node, a first worker node, and at least a second worker node. The first worker node sends a request from to the coordinator node for at least a first synchronization token maintained by the coordinator node. The first worker node receives the at least a first synchronization token from the coordinator node. The first worker node assigns the at least a first synchronization token to a snapshot as a snapshot ID value. The snapshot is executed at the first worker node. The first worker node forwards the snapshot ID value to the at least a second worker node.

Abstract: An allocation of tables across a distributed database provides for taking into account existing table groups while also obtaining newly calculated table groups that are formed according to a new table group allocation. Such a new table group allocation may be desired to optimize workload balancing and/or data transfers for new workload patterns. Maintaining one or more types of existing table groups allows for the existing table groups to not be overwritten during allocation of the tables. An identification of tables is used, as well as a selected user-defined grouping option to indicate a mode for maintaining or replacing the existing table groups. An iterative process includes assigning, for each table, a group name and a group type.

In a case it is determined that the first type is extendable, a second reference object is determined, the second reference object conforming to the first type, an instance of the second reference object is determined, configuration properties of the instance of the second reference object are determined, and, in response to the instruction, at least the configuration properties of the instance of the second reference object are returned as the configuration properties of the first instance of the first business object.

Abstract: A system and method of query processing in a multi-level storage system having a unified table architecture. A query is received by a common query execution engine connected with the unified table architecture, the query specifying a data record. The common query execution engine performs a look-up for the data record based on the query at the first level storage structure. If the data record is not present at the first level storage structure, the common query execution engine performs separate look-ups in each of the second level storage structure and the main store.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a system and method associated with improving resilience for a non-high availability service provided by a multi-node cluster (e.g., a bosh-based database service). A processor of a node in the cluster may determine that a lifecycle event has occurred (e.g., an initial deployment, failover, or deployment update). Responsive to the lifecycle event, the processor may store information about a role of a master node and timestamp information (e.g., on persistent storage). The processor may subsequently determine that a cluster deployment crash has occurred for the service. Timestamp information associated with multiple nodes may then be compared to establish one of the nodes as the master node. For example, the most recent timestamp may be used to establish the master node.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a process is introduced and acted upon a table prior to the rendering of the table. This process involves optimizing the display of the table by, among other things, automatically setting column widths to reduce extra white space, removing columns with no data, and/or generally reducing the size of the table to attempt to, if possible, remove the presence of a horizontal scroll bar.

Abstract: A data source integration architecture is provided for integrating application systems with an analytics system for user querying and data retrieval. The integration includes flexibly configuring base data sources as defined by an analytical model of an application system, such as an OEM application. In response to a query, metadata is fetched from an application server, where the metadata may contain a description of underlying artifacts of the structural part of the analytical model. During query generation, these specific views are injected into a query view and a parametrization is added for data source modulation. In addition, a flexible configuration of the final shape of the base data source specifically allows for the requirements of the OEM application to be addressed.

Abstract: Crux detection in search definition sets is provided herein. Crux detection can include generating a hierarchical representation of a search definition set. The hierarchical representation can be reduced by removing search definitions unrelated to a target search definition. The search definitions in the reduced hierarchical representation can be focused by removing inapplicable elements or operations in the search definitions. Focusing the search definitions in the reduced hierarchical representation can include removing context-irrelevant elements and/or removing search-definition-irrelevant elements. The focused reduced hierarchical representation can be analyzed to identify implementation cruxes in the search definitions. Cruxes can include performance-impacting elements of the search definitions. The cruxes can be tagged and provided for redevelopment or analysis.
