  • Patent number: 12001837
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for two-way synchronization of infrastructure-as-code templates and instances, including a method comprising detecting changes to a run-time state of a system and, in response to detecting a change, triggering an update of a current run-time state model. The method may further comprise, in response to updating the run-time state model, comparing the updated model to a current model using a template in a local repository instantiated as the current model. The method may further comprise, in response to the comparison determining a structural difference between the updated model and the current model, merging the updated model and the current model into a new model; and updating a local clone of a repository of the template with the new model. The method may further comprise, in response to the comparison determining no structural difference between the updated model and the current model, pushing changes to a remote repository.

  • Publication number: 20230159287
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for baggage or parcel handling. The system includes an automated bag unloading cell, a container roller deck positioned in the automated unloading cell. The container roller deck includes a roller deck base and a deck frame. The deck frame can selectively support and transfer a container housing a bag or parcel. The deck frame can selectively rotate about a deck frame axis of rotation relative to the roller deck base. The deck frame is operable to selectively release the bag or parcel from the container. The container roller deck can also include an index table in communication with the deck frame. The index table can be operable to receive the bag or parcel released from the container. The index table can include at least one index table conveyor operable to selectively advance the bag or parcel from the index table to a first transfer device.
