Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media. A system includes one or more processing circuits to identify a modification or update of unstructured data stored in an upstream source, determine a new schema of the unstructured data using a function, the function based on at least one of a pattern, a transformation, an inference, or a correspondence between the unstructured data and a previous schema, determine a difference between the new schema and the previous schema, generate structured data corresponding to the unstructured data, and store the structured data as a representation within the database of the modification or update of the unstructured data.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for maintaining data integrity (e.g., of a database, a data lake, etc.). In some embodiments, one or more processing circuits identify an update, insertion, or deletion of unstructured data stored in an upstream source. The processing circuits determine a new schema of the unstructured data using an inferring function and further determine a divergence between the new schema and a previous schema of the unstructured data based on comparing the new schema to the previous schema of the unstructured data. In an example, the processing circuits store the structured data in a database. The database includes an established data channel between the database and a downstream source, and the structured data is a unique representation within the database of the update, insertion, or deletion of the unstructured data.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for delivering a substantially homogeneous and substantially transparent single film coating comprising siloxane-containing precursor materials onto a substantially transparent substrate surface on large components via atmospheric pressure plasma deposition techniques.

Abstract: A shaping assembly for producing a discrete spiral shaped food product includes a die that defines at least one aperture that is centered on an aperture axis. The at least one aperture extends to an aperture exit and allows for the movement of a stream of food mass through the aperture and out the aperture exit. A shaping tool includes at least one slicing blade that is disposed over at least a portion of the aperture exit to slice the stream of food mass into a plurality of food mass portions. A coupling arrangement engages the shaping tool to facilitate rotation of the slicing blade to spin the plurality of food mass portions into a spiral shaped stream of food mass. The slicing blade simultaneously slices and spins the stream of food mass to create the spiral shaped stream of food mass. A crimper is used to cut the spiral shaped stream of food mass into the discrete spiral shaped food products.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing a substantially spiral shaped food product is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a die defining a plurality of apertures disposed in a circle about a center. The apparatus also includes at least one cutting blade disposed for rotation about the center and operable to intermittently pass fully across each of the apertures during rotation. The apparatus also includes a plurality of slicing blades arranged for individual rotation about one of the plurality of apertures. The plurality of slicing blades are also arranged for continuous extension less than fully across the one aperture. The apparatus also includes a planetary coupling arrangement operably disposed to facilitate reciprocating rotation between the at least one cutting blade and the plurality of slicing blades.

Abstract: A gas assisted co-extrusion apparatus includes a co-extrusion die in communication with an extruder. A nozzle that is defined by a bore in the co-extrusion die extends about a nozzle axis to a nozzle exit of the co-extrusion die. An injector extends through the bore of the co-extrusion die along the nozzle axis. The injector and nozzle together form a dough into a rope that is tubular with a wall portion and an inner cavity surrounded by the wall portion as the dough is extruded out of the nozzle exit and about the injector. A compressed gas source provides a compressed gas out of an injector outlet and into the inner cavity of the rope to radially stretch the wall portion of the rope as the rope is dispersed from the injector. The co-extrusion die is spaced from the extruder to define a void therebetween. A delivery system delivers an entrainable material to the compressed gas in a pipe. The pipe is connected to an injector inlet of the injector in the void.

Abstract: A filter includes a metallocene for removing oxygen from a gas stream. The filter further includes a support for the metallocene.
