Abstract: Systems and methods are described for configuring a data plane of an event streaming platform. An example method includes receiving a topology definition describing a topology of an event streaming platform, and generating a representation of a data plane of the event streaming platform.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for passing event messages between components of a computing cluster. An example method includes identifying, by an event sender, a receiving component to receive a record, determining, by a processing device, whether the receiving component is a protocol aware component, and upon determining that the receiving component is the protocol aware component, sending the record to the receiving component using a first protocol. Sending the record to the receiving component using the first protocol bypasses a dispatch service of the event sender.

Abstract: A converter includes a first inductor, a first power switch connected to the first inductor, and an auxiliary power supply coupled to the first inductor to provide an auxiliary voltage from bi-directional current flow in the first inductor. In response to negative current flowing in the first inductor, a duty cycle of the first power switch is increased.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for configuring a data plane of an event streaming platform. An example method includes receiving a topology definition describing a topology of an event streaming platform, and generating, based on the topology definition, a Directed Acyclical Graph (DAG) that represents a data plane of the event streaming platform. The method also includes generating, via a processing device, a simplified data plane pathway based on the DAG, wherein the simplified data plane pathway eliminates intermediate hops between an event source and a final event destination described by the topology definition.

Abstract: Data characterizing historical skills-based gaming metrics for a first user and historical skills-based gaming metrics for at least one second user is accessed. Using the accessed data and a set of rules, a targeted advertisement to present to the first user is determined. The targeted advertisement specifies at least one skills-based game and a characterization of the at least one second user's historical skills-based gaming metrics. The targeted advertisement is generated. Data characterizing the targeted advertisement is provided. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: A system for monitoring plant or soil characteristics in a crop field, the system comprising a prime mover comprising a base and a camera frame operably coupled to the base. The camera frame comprises a central frame, a rotatable frame rotatably attached to the central frame, at least one camera attached to the rotatable frame.

Abstract: An interactive system is configured to be extensible, allowing use of plugins that detect content entry input of each of the one or more users on a user-generated content of a canvas. In response to detecting each content entry input, (i) the interactive system (i) automatically triggers execution of a plugin, the plugin being implemented as a program that executes separately from the interactive system; and (ii) renders at least a first output generated by execution of the plugin with the user-created content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for passing event messages between components of a computing cluster. An example method includes obtaining, at an event sender, a record that contains an event, wherein the event sender is a data storage component of an event streaming platform. The method also includes identifying a receiving component that is designated as a receiver for the record, and determining, by a processing device, whether the receiving component is a native protocol aware component, wherein the native protocol is native to the event streaming platform. Upon determining that the receiving component is a native protocol aware component, the record is sent to the receiving component using the native protocol. Upon determining that the receiving component is not a native protocol aware component, the record is sent to the receiving component using Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Abstract: A method can include deploying into a well a fluid sampler tool including a fluid sampler, a sampler valve, a controller and a sensor, and the controller operating the sampler valve in response to a sensed well parameter being within a predetermined well parameter range. A fluid sampler tool can include a fluid sampler, a sampler valve, a controller and a carrier configured to connect the fluid sampler tool in a tubular string, the controller being enclosed within a chamber that is externally accessible on the carrier.
