Abstract: An arrangement includes a gas measuring device (100) and an expansion module (20, 21). A process configures the gas measuring device. The gas measuring device includes a base part (1), a gas sensor, an evaluation unit and a reader (17). The gas sensor measures a detection variable that correlates with the concentration of a target gas. The evaluation unit determines the target gas concentration based on a detection variable measured value. The expansion module is detachably connectable to the base part and has an identifier stored in a data memory (19, 24) of the expansion module. With the expansion module connected to the base part, the reader reads the data memory without contacting the expansion module. Depending on a signal from the reader, the gas measuring device determines whether the expansion module is connected to the base part or not and if connected triggers a procedure.

Abstract: In an approach, a processor receives a data manipulation request on a target database. A processor sends the data manipulation request to a source database. The source database attempts to persist a data manipulation action relating to the data manipulation request. Responsive to a successful attempt to persist the data manipulation action: the source database sends a log position of the data manipulation action to a data replication engine; a processor replicates the data manipulation request triggering the data manipulation action in the target database; and a processor confirms to the target database that the data manipulation action in the target database has been completed.

Abstract: A technique for logging tasks in a computer system. Tasks are logged into the computer system by executing at least one task at the computer system. A set of log metadata and a set of log levels of log records of the at least one task may be determined from an execution log output of the at least one task. Execution outputs of a further task may be determined according to the determined set of log metadata and associated set of log levels.

Abstract: Implementations for monitoring seismic data recorded in a marine survey of a subterranean formation for coverage gaps are described herein. Implementations include computing Fresnel sum operators for Fresnel zones of the subterranean formation based on a Kirchhoff migration impulse response at horizons of a representative plane layer model of a survey area of the subterranean formation. Implementations also include computing an acceptability map of the survey area based on the Fresnel sum operators. The acceptability map reveals coverage gaps in the survey area. Geoscientist may use the acceptability map to infill seismic data in areas of the survey area that correspond to the coverage gaps.

Abstract: Methods are presented for classifying responses to communications. One method includes presenting, in a first user interface (UI), a message from a sender to a recipient requesting a response. The first UI includes response options of a first classification, a second classification, and an entry field for entering a free text message. Another operation is for receiving a recipient response with a selection of: (a) the first or the second button and (b) the free text message entered in the text entry field. The method further includes generating a featurized recipient response based on the free text message and the selection. An acceptance machine-learning (ML) model calculates a classification value of the recipient response from a set of possible classification values based on the featurized recipient response. The method further includes presenting, in a second UI for the sender, an indicator for the message and the calculated classification value.
