Publication number: 20230134573Abstract: A system and method for automatically routing datasets based on input and output requirements of information is disclosed. The example method includes obtaining a list of modules executing on one or more processing devices, each module to generate an output dataset of a respective output requirement based on an input dataset of a respective input requirement. The method also includes establishing connections between the modules based on the input requirements and output requirements, including a first connection between a first module and a third module and a second connection between a second module and the third module. The method also includes receiving a first output dataset from the first module and receiving a second output dataset from the second module and, responsive to determining that the first module reported an error, routing the second output dataset to the third module without routing the first output dataset to the third module.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Alexander Hess, Terry Marc Hardie

Patent number: 11494182Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating a dependency graph based on input and output requirements of information. The method includes obtaining, by a processing device, an object representing a plurality of modules executing on one or more processing devices. The plurality of modules is associated with a plurality of input requirements and a plurality of output requirements. Each module is configured to generate an output dataset of a respective output requirement of the plurality of output requirements based on an input dataset of a respective input requirement of the plurality of input requirements. The method includes generating, by the processing device, a dependency hierarchy of the plurality of modules based on the plurality of input requirements and the plurality of output requirements. The dependency hierarchy indicates one or more routes for the output datasets between at least a subset of the plurality of modules.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2022Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Snowflake Inc.Inventors: Alexander Hess, Terry Marc Hardie

Publication number: 20220298368Abstract: A system and method for production and implementation of a photonic crystal forming, aqueous solution, may include: a block polymer mixture and at least one solvent, wherein the at least one solvent comprises water. The “color” of the photonic crystal solution may be set either through a single, or multiple, brush block copolymer mixtures (i.e., premixed coloring) or through layering of multiple layers of distinct single, or multiple, brush block copolymer mixtures. The system functions as an aqueous structural color (i.e., a photonic crystal) precursor, wherein applying the water-based color solution to a substrate, functions to provide a desired photonic crystal object arrangement possessing color reflective properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Matthew D. Ryan, Ryan M. Pearson, Alexander Hess, Luke Whitson

Publication number: 20220259447Abstract: Systems and methods used for or in connection to production and printing of a photonic crystal forming ink solution, which involve use of a block polymer mixture and optionally a solvent, wherein the color of the printed ink solution may be set either through a single or multiple block polymer mixtures (i.e. premixed coloring) or through printing multiple layers of distinct single or multiple block polymer mixtures (i.e. post print coloring). The composition(s) used by the systems and methods function as a structural color (i.e., a photonic crystal) precursor, wherein forming, loading, printing, and optional post-print processing of the ink solution on a substrate, function to provide a desired photonic crystal print object possessing reflective coloration properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Matthew D.
