Abstract: A multiple mirror for multiplying a single incident wavefront of electromagnetic radiation into a plurality of outgoing wavefronts, including at least one first mirror, onto which the incident wavefront first falls, and a second mirror, on which the wavefront is last reflected, wherein the mirror planes are superimposed in the direction of movement of the first wavefront. The first mirror is partially transparent to the electromagnetic radiation and the second mirror is fully reflective.

Abstract: A measuring arrangement for non-destructive measurement of an object surface by interferometric measuring methods, wherein light strikes the measuring arrangement as a light beam reflected from the surface, including a diaphragm with an aperture; mirror arrangement with two mirrors having mirror surfaces; a camera lens and camera; wherein the incoming light beam passes the diaphragm and diffracts before hitting the mirror arrangement and splits and deflects into two partial beams, which reach and interfere in the camera; wherein the light beam passes the camera lens in front of the camera in beam direction; and wherein one mirror of the mirror arrangement is rotatable relative to the other; and wherein the camera includes a camera chip with a local sampling frequency and the diaphragm diffracts the incoming light beam as it passes through such that its spatial frequency corresponds at most to the maximum camera chip local sampling frequency during detection.

Abstract: Techniques for resegmenting a partition in a distributed stream-processing platform are provided. The techniques include receiving a trigger to move a partition of the distributed stream-processing platform from a first broker on a first set of physical resources to a second broker on a second a set of physical resources. In response to the trigger, the partition is allocated on the second broker, and the first broker is configured to redirect, to the second broker, requests for new messages after a last offset in the partition without replicating older messages before the last offset to the second broker. Idempotent produce metadata for the partition from the first broker is then merged into the second broker. Finally, metadata for processing requests for the partition is updated to include the second broker.
