Patent number: 11947516Abstract: The updating of a definition layer or schema for a large distributed database can be accomplished using a plurality of data store tiers. A distributed database can be made up of many individual data stores, and these data stores can be allocated across a set of tiers based on business logic or other allocation criteria. The update can be applied sequentially to the individual tiers, such that only data stores for a single tier are being updated at any given time. This can help to minimize downtime for the database as a whole, and can help to minimize problems that may result from an unsuccessful update. Such an approach can also allow for simplified error detection and rollback, as well as providing control over a rate at which the update is applied to the various data stores of the distributed database.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ankit Kumar, Alazel Acheson, Jasmeet Chhabra, Luke Edward Kennedy, Daniel Stephen Popick, Weixun Wang

Patent number: 11604131Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and systems to measure and calibrate an optical particle spectrometer for reporting mass concentration. In one embodiment, an optical particle spectrometer is used to measure a concentration of particulate matter in a sampled particle-laden airstream. A particle diverter, in fluid communication with the spectrometer, diverts at least a portion of the particle-laden airstream at predetermined intervals. In one example, a mass filter receives the portion of the particle-laden airstream and filters a fraction of the particles within the airstream that are above a predetermined particle size. A mass sensor measures a mass of the fraction of the particles received from the mass filter or from the particle diverter and uses a calibration communication loop to provide the measured mass to the spectrometer to apply a correction factor to report mass concentration from the optical particle spectrometer. Other methods and systems are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2018Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: TSI IncorporatedInventors: Kenneth Farmer, Thomas Edward Kennedy

Patent number: 11425126Abstract: A policy management service receives a request to associate a version of a computing resource policy as a default version of the policy. In response to the request, the service identifies, from a policy database, an entry for the default version of the policy. The service updates the entry in order to associate the version specified in the request as the default version of the policy. This results in the version of the policy becoming applicable to control access to the computing resources associated with principals associated with the default version of the policy.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Per Mikael Horal, Bradford Taylor Lyman, Luke Edward Kennedy, Ritwick Dhar, Anders Samuelsson

Patent number: 11100129Abstract: A consistent view of associations between independently replicated data objects may be provided. Data objects may be stored in separate data stores. Copies of the data stores may also store the data objects. The copies of the data stores may independently receive the data objects to be stored as part of independently replicating data stores to one or more copies of the data stores. An association can be created between objects in the different data store. If when the association is created it is determined that a referenced object is not yet stored in a copy of a data store, then both the association and the referenced object may be stored in the same data store so that the association and the referenced object are replicated together to a copy of the same data store.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Stephen Popick, Alazel Acheson, Jasmeet Chhabra, Luke Edward Kennedy, Meng Li

Publication number: 20150093509Abstract: Compositions and methods for changing the color of non-wood substrates. A one step method uses a solution of a water soluble pigment or dye and a metal salt. The non-toxic solution can be sprayed on a primed or unprimed substrate without wiping. The method can produce an even color on a smooth substrate, or a simulated woodgrain pattern or color on a textured substrate. The composition and method can be used on substrates as varied as fiberboard, fiberglass, steel, vinyl, plastics, metals, concrete, brick, stone, and stucco. The composition can include a resin which is emulsified when added and subsequently demulsifies. A two step method includes the additional step of applying a gall ink to the substrate. The compositions can be distributed as kits containing multiple packages of dry or concentrated ingredients, which make the final composition(s) when hydrated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Edward A.
