Abstract: Software for a distributed streaming platform receives an application. The application is structured as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with instances of operators as nodes and streams as edges between nodes. Multiple instances of an operator access a shared database. The software receives a pre-defined hint associated with the application. The pre-defined hint sets a maximum period of time for local caching of a result from a query of the database by each of the multiple instances. The software launches the application by assigning the instances of operators to one or more containers provided by the streaming platform and initiating the streams. Each container is associated with a local cache. The software then receives a request from the application to make a dynamic adjustment that increases the maximum period of time for local caching of a result from a query of the database by each of the multiple instances.

Abstract: Software for a distributed streaming platform receives an application that runs on a streaming platform. The application is structured as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with instances of operators as nodes and streams as edges between nodes. The application is associated with a pre-defined hint that is a key-value pair. The software launches the application by assigning the instances of operators to containers provided by the streaming platform and initiating the streams. Then the software reads a value for the pre-defined hint and transmits the value to the application through an application programming interface (API) exposed by the streaming platform. The software receives a request from the application through the API to make a dynamic adjustment. And the software makes the dynamic adjustment and re-launches the application using a recovery policy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a backlight inspection equipment comprising a carrying platform configured to dispose a backlight to be inspected and an inspection plate movably disposed relative to the carrying platform. The inspection plate moves from a first position to a second position. When the inspection plate is disposed at the first position, a first light emitting region of the backlight to be inspected is exposed and a second light emitting region which is a region other than the first light emitting region is blocked. When the inspection plate is disposed at the second position, a third light emitting region of the backlight to be inspected, which is different from the first light emitting region, is exposed, and a fourth light emitting region which is a region other than third light emitting region is blocked.

Abstract: The current document is directed to an electronic community-based translation service that includes a distributed computer system, electronic communications media and infrastructure, multiple user processor-controlled devices, and control components that control the distributed computer system, communications infrastructure, and processor-controlled user devices to provide an electronic community in which users can view and access translations, search for translations, and provide translations. Because the translation service is community-based, users accessing translations are able to determine various characteristics associated with community-provided translations and those who provide them. In addition, users can follow community use of translations, including determining who has used community-provided translations, shared community-provided translations with others, and rated translations.

Abstract: An example slip-ring interface may include a first section and a second section rotationally independent from the first section. At least one conductor path between the first section and the second section may be selectively associated with and dedicated to the transmission of signals with a first signal type. At least one conductor path between the first section and the second section may be selectively associated with and dedicated to the transmission of signals with a second signal type. If error conditions occur, the signal types associated with one or more of the conductor paths may be changed so that signals of both the first and second signal types are transmitted across the interface.
