Abstract: A query may execute on stored original stream data obtained from stream data received from at least one data source. The original stream data may be deleted in association with new stream data being received. At least one operator of the query may be duplicated to obtain at least one duplicated operator, and the stored original stream data may be duplicated to obtain duplicated stream data. The at least one duplicated operator may be modified to obtain at least one modified operator and, thereby, a modified query. Original results may be determined based on execution of the at least one operator, and modified results may be determined based on execution of the at least one modified operator. The at least one operator and the original stream data may be replaced with the at least one duplicated operator and the duplicated stream data, to thereby obtain an integrated query for execution.

Abstract: A dual clutch for coupling an engine-side input shaft with a first transmission-side and/or a second transmission-side output shaft. A first dutch has a first pressure plate, which is axially mobile relative to a first counter plate, for coupling with a first dutch disk connected to the first output shaft. A second dutch has a second pressure plate, which is axially mobile relative to a second counter plate, for coupling with a dutch disk connected to the second output shaft. A dutch cover is connected to the first and second counter plates. An actuator displaces the first and/or the second pressure plate. The actuator is radially supported on the input side on the input shaft by the clutch cover and a torsional vibration damper, which is connected to the clutch cover and is radially mounted on the output side on one of the output shafts and/or on a transmission housing.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to visualize measuring and dosing operations are described herein. In various embodiments, a computer user interface including a gauge bar, a progress bar, and a target value in combination with a weighing device may be used to measure and dose elements. In one embodiment the method ensures precise and fast dosing when weighing an element. In various embodiments, configuring a mapping function allows numerous combinations of a speed of progress of a progress bar when weighing an element. A progress bar, in combination with acceptable weight values, such as a target value, a primary minimum value, and a primary maximum value allows for color representation when a progress bar enters and exits acceptable weight values. Configuring a set or a plurality set of secondary minimum and maximum values is possible for additional acceptable weight values.

Abstract: Deployment plans, to service execution environments, of component services associated with a composite service associated with an analysis of data generated by one or more data sources, may be determined, the composite service including an ordering of execution of the associated component services for the analysis of the data. An evaluation of each of the deployment plans of the component services may be determined based on a first metric associating one or more weighted values with a consumption by the each deployment plan of one or more respective resources associated with each of the first and second network nodes and on a second metric associating one or more weighted values with a measure of connection availability of one or more network links included in a communication path between the first and second network nodes. A recommendation including one or more of the deployment plans may be determined based on the evaluation.

Abstract: A process for structuring a surface layer of an object includes applying bio-components to the surface of the object that carry away surface material. The bio-components are contained in at least one of a nutrient and osmotic protective medium. The at least one of a nutrient and osmotic protective medium having the bio-components contained therein is removed after the surface material is carried away from the object surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a microporous plastic product using a plastic source material, a physical and/or chemical propellant and further using especially exfoliated nanoparticles. The plastic source material is treated with the propellant in a preceding process steps in the presence of nanoparticles, thereby producing microporous foamed molded plastic articles having a large number of pores and an even pore distribution. The inventive plastic molded articles are not subject to shrinkage or warpage and have an optically appealing, smooth surface as well as advantageous shock and sound absorption properties. The invention also relates to plastic source materials that contain nanoparticles and propellants.

Abstract: In a method for examination of the surface of an object for a topographic and/or a chemical property, the object-surface is impinged with surface-structure selective biocomponents for examination of a topographic property and/or with chemoselective biocomponents for the examination of a chemical property, together with a nutrient medium and/or an osmotic protective medium for the biocomponents. The biocomponents contained in the nutrient medium and/or the osmotic protective medium are in contact with the object-surface or are spaced from the object surface by less than the detection range of the biocomponents. The object surface is then examined with the biocomponents contained in the nutrient medium and/or the osmotic protective medium by determining at least one examination measurement value. The examination measurement value is compared with a reference measurement value, and conclusions can be drawn about the topographic and/or chemical properties of the object from the result of the comparison.
