  • Patent number: 10997363
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobile data analysis system generates mobile reports. In this context, a mobile report represents information collected by a mobile device user and provided as input to a report form displayed by an associated mobile device. The collected information may, for example, include information relating to an activity or event, information relating to a particular person, entity, or location, or any combination thereof. A mobile report may be based on a report template. A report template defines one or more data fields and other property information to be included in a mobile report. A mobile report may be sent to a server to generate one or more data objects, and one or more data object links between the data objects from a first mobile report, the data objects from a second mobile report, and exiting data objects that are maintained at the server.

  • Publication number: 20200324971
    Abstract: A storage system as disclosed can maximize storage capacity whilst remaining scalable. A transporting device is arranged to form a cluster with a reconfigurable physical topology. A transporting device can cooperate with a portion of a surface, and with at least one other transporting device in a cluster with a reconfigurable physical topology. An item receiving space and a relocating unit permit relocation of the transporting device within the cluster by way of interaction with the portion of the surface.

  • Publication number: 20200084162
    Abstract: A packet processing node and method in which an input of the node receives data and control packets, and an output of the node sends data and control packets. A node includes a control plane function to process control packets, and a forwarding function configured to receive data and control packets via the input, to forward received data packets to the output, and to forward received control packets to the control plane function. The control plane function is configured to receive the control packets, and to determine which control packets are to be processed by the control plane function, and which control packets are to be processed externally.

  • Patent number: 10025680
    Abstract: A data processing system configured to store a plurality of data entities in volatile memories of multiple different computing devices. The data processing system comprises a first computing device having a first volatile memory configured to store a first data entity; and a second computing device having a second volatile memory configured to store a copy of the first data entity. The first computing device is configured to perform: receiving an indication to update the first data entity; after receiving the indication, updating the first data entity in the first volatile memory, and providing to the second computing device an indication to update the copy of the first data entity; and providing an indication that the first data entity has been updated, after receiving information from the second computing device indicating that the copy of the first data entity has been updated in the second volatile memory.

  • Patent number: 9846732
    Abstract: In some aspects, a method includes connecting over a network to a data storage system, the data storage system storing data objects. A dataflow graph that includes nodes representing data processing components connected by links that represent flows of data access an interface of the data storage system. The interface provides functions for accessing the data objects. At least one of the data processing components performs operations on a received input flow of data that enable the functions provided by the interface to modify one or more stored data objects, and performs operations in response to functions provided by the interface to generate an output flow of data.

  • Patent number: 9638025
    Abstract: A measurement-while-drilling servo-actuator for use in mud-pulse telemetry, which determines linear position of a poppet valve therein without counting revolutions of a stepper motor which positions said poppet valve. A sensor senses a magnetic field intensity value, or an inductance value, which is proportional to the position of the poppet valve relative to the sensor. A look-up table of reference outputs corresponding to known position of the poppet valve is used to determine the position of the poppet valve. A method of determining a position of a poppet valve in a mud pulser is further disclosed.
