Abstract: An electrical termination unit or feedthrough which may be used for routing electrical conductors through a chamber wall, or otherwise across a barrier between isolated atmospheric conditions. The electrical termination unit may have aluminum as the interface material to the chamber interface and may utilize a ceramic insulator. The electrical termination unit may have the aluminum used as the interface brazed directly to a ceramic surface of the insulator. The aluminum that forms the chamber interface may be formed within a hollow ceramic tube in the same process step that brazes the aluminum to the ceramic tube with a hermetic joint. Machining subsequent to the brazing of the aluminum to the ceramic insulator may allow for achievement of the final form desired. A method for manufacturing such an electrical termination unit.

Abstract: A plant grow tray system comprising a plurality of trays comprising at least one upper tray and at least one bottom tray is provided. The upper tray is placed inside the bottom tray with upper tray supports between the upper tray and the bottom tray creating a space between the trays. The upper tray and the bottom tray comprise a sealing mechanism to seal the upper tray to the bottom tray. The upper tray has a corrugated profile with crest and trough portions, air holes on the corrugated surface, a drain basin, drain flange, and drain pipe. The bottom tray has an air-flow modifier, air flange, and a drain hole. The system is designed to allow air to be ducted or exhausted from the space between the upper tray and the bottom tray enabling the delivery of conditioned, fresh, or recirculated air directly to a plant.

Abstract: An online system receives data and processes the data in a data processing pipeline. To data loss in the data processing pipeline, the online system determines a time interval during which each item of data is received and associates a set of counters with each time interval. For each time interval, an input counter is incremented for each data item received during the time interval and an output counter is incremented for each data item received during the time interval that was processed by the data processing pipeline. The online system compares an input number from the input counter and an output number from the output counter for each time interval. Based on a difference between the input number and output number for a time interval, the online system determines if a loss of data received during the time interval occurred. Lost Data are identified and processed.

Abstract: An online system processes data in a distributed processing system. To detect loss and corruption of data, the online system periodically stores information describing states of data processed during various time intervals and updates the information to include changes occurring within a predetermined period. Based on states of data described by information stored at a time, the online system performs a modified process on data received or processed during a time interval. For each item of data on which the modified process was performed, the online system compares a modified state of the data item to a state described by information stored at an additional time to determine if data was lost or corrupted. Lost or corrupted data is identified and processed based on the state of data described by the information stored at the time.

The ribs are arranged in intersecting paths and a passage is defined in the interior cavity of the blow molded structure at the intersection of two ribs such that fluid flows through the passage during molding.

Abstract: A report execution engine processes reports for evaluating advertising campaigns. The report execution engine maintains a plurality of generators, each generator including instructions to generate execution plans for one or more columns of a report. The report execution engine uses different generators for generating sub-plans for processing columns of the report. A generator generates a sub-plan for processing a column of the report and invokes other generators for generating sub-plans for remaining columns of the report. The generator receives a sub-plan for the remaining columns of the report from another generator and generates a combined execution plan based on the sub-plans. An execution plan comprises a hierarchical structure of nodes, each node representing a portion of computation of the report. The report execution engine generates the report based on the execution plan and sends the results for presentation.
