  • Patent number: 12706819
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a method comprising, receiving, by a computing device, a first message for transmission to an endpoint from a messaging queue; determining, by the computing device, a first network to which the endpoint is connected; creating, by the computing device, an endpoint object corresponding to the endpoint, the endpoint object being configured with network specific information associated with the first network; receiving, by the endpoint object executing on the computing device from a subnetwork object executing on the computing device, an indication that the message can be delivered to the endpoint via the first network; and in response to the indication, transmitting, by the endpoint object, the first message to the endpoint using the first network.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20260064490
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclose a method comprising obtaining, by a node in a cluster of nodes, a message from a messaging queue; determining, by the node, a shard within the cluster that corresponds to the message based upon an identifier included in the message; determining, by the node, a responsible node associated with the shard; and forwarding, by the node, the message to the responsible node, wherein the responsible node delivers the message to a destination.

  • Patent number: 8466601
    Abstract: Operating method of a piezolinear drive having a group of piezo stack actuators which drive a rotor, in which the actuators constitute a multilayer ceramic arrangement situated on a common substrate, wherein a first stack part within the stack of the multilayer arrangement is formed as a longitudinal actuator, and a second stack part as a shearing actuator, and the latter being at least indirectly in clamping and shearing contact with the rotor, and at least two identical actuators being situated next to each other in order to perform alternate clamping and advancing movements in the step operation for a rough positioning operation in the step mode, wherein the adjacent actuators of the group are controlled to perform alternate clamping and advancing movements, with control signals being derived from a speed-proportional control variable.
