Abstract: A dynamic tension control system is described herein for driving linear material off a roll in a controlled manner. The dynamic tension control system may include a frame, a shaft for holding a roll of linear material, a motor for driving the shaft, and a dancer tensioning control system for controlling the motor. The dancer tensioning control system may include an actuator assembly through which the linear material passes and a proximity sensor for detecting whether the actuator assembly is proximate to the proximity sensor. When the linear material is pulled from the roll, tension is created in the linear material, which lifts the actuator assembly away from the proximity sensor. The dynamic tension control system may be configured to command, based on detecting that the actuator assembly is not proximate to the proximity sensor, the motor to drive the shaft to unwind linear material from the roll.

Abstract: System, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for auto-scaling of a deployment based on resource utilization data for a workload executing on the deployment. A resource availability is determined based on the resource utilization data and a current resource allocation of the deployment. A severity of resource throttling of the workload may be determined based on the resource utilization data, and a scaling factor is determined based at least on the severity of resource throttling. In response to at least the resource availability satisfying a predetermined condition with a predetermined threshold, the deployment is scaled based on the scaling factor.

Abstract: Performing a distributed query across a data pool includes receiving a database query at a master node or a compute pool within a database system. Based on receiving the database query, a data pool within the database system is identified. The data pool comprises a plurality of data nodes. Each data node includes a relational engine and relational storage. Each node in the data pool caches a different partition of data from an external data source in its relational storage. The database query is processed across the plurality of data nodes. Query processing includes requesting that data node perform a filter operation against its cached partition of the external data source stored in its relational storage and return any data from the partition that matches the filter operation.

Abstract: A method of controlling a flow of a fluid through an inflow control device comprising a tubular within which a sliding sleeve having a longitudinal fluid passageway extends, the method includes longitudinally shifting the sliding sleeve, relative to the tubular, into a first, second, or third position, with each position associated with a different pressure differential between an external pressure applied to an external surface of the tubular with an internal pressure within the longitudinal fluid passage, and selecting a first, second, or third flow setting that corresponds with the first, second, and third pressure differential, respectively, at a surface of a well in which the inflow control device is received.

Abstract: Processing a database query over a combination of relational and big data includes receiving the database query at a master node or a compute node within a database system. Based on receiving the database query, a storage pool within the database system is identified. The storage pool comprises a plurality of storage nodes, each storage node including a relational engine, a big data engine, and big data storage. The database query is processed over a combination of relational data stored within the database system and big data stored at the big data storage of at least one of the plurality of storage nodes. The relational data could be stored at the master node and/or at one or more data nodes. An artificial intelligence model and/or machine learning model might also be trained and/or scored using a combination of relational data and big data.

Abstract: Automatically provisioning resources within a database system includes receiving, at a master service of the database system, a declarative statement for performing a database operation. Based on receiving the declarative statement, a control plane is instructed that additional hardware resources are needed for performing the database operation. Based on instructing the control plane, a provisioning fabric provisions computer system hardware resources for one or more of (i) a storage pool that includes at least one storage node that comprises a first database engine, a big data engine, and big data storage; (ii) a data pool that includes at least one data node that comprises a second database engine and database storage; or (iii) a compute pool that includes a compute node that comprises a compute engine that processes queries at one or both of the storage pool or the data pool.

Abstract: Performing a distributed query across a storage pool includes receiving a database query at a master node or a compute pool within a database system. Based on receiving the database query, a storage pool within the database system is identified. The storage pool comprises a plurality of storage nodes. Each storage node includes a relational engine, a big data engine, and big data storage. The storage pool stores at least a portion of a data set using the plurality of storage nodes by storing a different partition of the data set within the big data storage at each storage node. The database query is processed across the plurality of storage nodes. Query processing includes requesting that each storage node perform a query operation against the partition of the data set stored in its big data storage and return any data from the partition that is produced by the query operation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to devices, methods and instructions encoded on computer readable media for capturing motion and analyzing the captured motion at a portable computing device. In one exemplary embodiment, a motion capture and analysis application is provided. The application, when executed on a portable computing device, is configured to capture video of a subject (i.e., person) while the subject performs a selected action. The motion capture and analysis application provides various tools that allow an application user (e.g., trainer) to evaluate the motion of the subject during performance of the action.
