Publication number: 20240385409Abstract: A modular utility vault system can include a plurality of panels, a clip, and a cover panel. Each panel can include a first side including a first protrusion, a second side including a second protrusion, a lower side having a first length, and an upper side having a second length. The second length is less than first length. The first side of a panel of the plurality of panels is configured to abut the second side of a second panel thereby causing the first protrusion to abut the second protrusion. The clip can be configured to hold the first protrusion to the second protrusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: November 21, 2024Inventors: John P.

Patent number: 11231977Abstract: A method for distributed processing involves receiving a graph (G) of targets and of influencers, with each influencer related to at least one target, receiving an action graph of actions performed by one or more of the influencers, and key partitioning G across shards. The method further involves transposing the first graph (G) to obtain a first transposed graph (GT), value partitioning GT across the shards, storing the action graph on multiple shards, issuing, to a shard, a request specifying an influencer, to perform an intersection, receiving a response to the request of a set of influencers each of which is related to a target, and determining whether to send a recommendation to the target based on the response.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Twitter, Inc.Inventors: Ajeet Grewal, Siva Gurumurthy, Venumadhav Satuluri, Pankaj Gupta, Brian Larson, Volodymyr Zhabuik, Aneesh Sharma, Ashish Goel
