Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a method and system for blending multi-component granular compositions such as proppant used in hydraulic fracturing in well drilling. The system includes the control and management of an on-site storage system for each of the components, regulating the delivery of specified quantities of each component to a well site, and coordinating the flow of materials into and out of the blender.

Abstract: Processing a database query. A method includes receiving a database query from a user. The database query includes one or more imperative functions. The one or more imperative functions are converted to one or more declarative query representations. The one or more declarative query representations include standardized relational operators included in a relational query language. Further, the one or more declarative query representations are optimizable by a query optimizer of the database. The database query is optimized at the query optimizer to create a query plan by evaluating any declarative query representation originally in the database query received from the user and the one or more declarative query representations.

Abstract: Database systems are subject to automatic troubleshooting. Query execution data for individual queries executed by a database system can be collected. The query execution data can be evaluated automatically in conjunction with one or more detection metrics to determine whether or not a potential performance issue exists. After detection of a potential issue, the query execution data can be analyzed further to determine one or more causes by matching query execution data to one or more patterns that encode candidate causes. Subsequently, a root cause amongst multiple causes is determined based on causal dependency. Corrective action associated with a root cause can also be determined and optionally applied automatically.

Abstract: An apparatus monitoring calls of a system includes a processor and memory causing the apparatus to perform operations including capturing recordings of calls in real-time from recorded devices. The processor may further cause the apparatus to compare audio call data of the calls detected by a switch with audio content of recorded calls by recorder devices to determine whether the audio call data matches the audio content of recorded calls. The processor may further cause the apparatus to monitor conditions of recorder devices during calls to determine whether a component(s) of recorder devices or of communication devices exceeds a threshold. The processor may further cause the apparatus to monitor memory in which recorded calls are transferred for archiving to determine whether there is enough storage in the memory. The processor may further cause the apparatus to determine metrics impacting quality of recorded calls and perform analytics on the recorded calls.

Abstract: Extensions to a debugger are identified in a debugger database which is read automatically when the debugger loads. The debugger watches for trigger events in its execution environment and optionally for load conditions in a debuggee program's internal state. If a trigger event occurs and a load condition is met, then the debugger automatically loads an extension for use. Some extensions provide debugging routines that are specifically designed to support debugging of applications which use a specific programming model.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of traits, diseases and conditions that respond to the modulation of gene expression and/or activity, and/or modulate a gene expression pathway. Specifically, the invention relates to double-stranded nucleic acid molecules including small nucleic acid molecules, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA) molecules that are capable of mediating or that mediate RNA interference (RNAi) against target gene expression.
