  • Publication number: 20240330298
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for deploying a plurality of data processing pipelines to execute contact grouping queries to upload contact data into contact records of contact group tables in a cloud-based, virtual data warehouse. Each contact grouping query is assigned to a data pipeline of a plurality of data pipelines based on characteristics of the contact grouping query and the count of contact records associated with the entity on whose behalf the contact records are being maintained. Additionally, the execution runtime is obtained for each contact grouping query so that an average execution runtime for the contact grouping query can be cached. An expected execution runtime of all contact grouping queries allocated to a specific data pipeline can then be calculated and used in determining whether additional data pipelines may be necessary to meet a service level objective that indicates a time interval during which a contact grouping query is to be executed.

  • Patent number: 11144690
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for implementing a general extensible layer mapping approach that maps between integrated circuit (IC) design database layers and process layers are described. A first IC design layout having in-design layers can be converted into a second IC design layout having derived layers, wherein said converting comprises mapping the in-design layers to the derived layers by applying a set of layer derivation rules to shapes in the IC design layout, and wherein the set of layer derivation rules implements a one-to-many mapping between the in-design layers and the derived layers. Next, a one-to-one mapping between the derived layers and process layers used in a parasitic extraction tool can be generated. Parasitic extraction on the IC design layout then be performed by providing the second IC design layout and the one-to-one mapping to the parasitic extraction tool.

  • Patent number: 8679501
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for inhibiting Treg cell functional activities by blocking Treg cell-mediated mast cell activation. It has been found IL-9 produced by Treg cells activates mast cells, which in turn mediate an amplification loop critical for graft tolerance and immune responses to tumors. Thus, a method for enhancing an immune response to a vaccine, such as a cancer vaccine, is also provided as is a method for increasing cell and humoral immunity in a subject.
