Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for improving performance within a multidimensional database computing environment. A multidimensional database, utilizing a block storage option, performs numerous input/output (I/O) operations when executing calculations. To separate I/O operations from calculations, a background task queue is created to identify data blocks requiring I/O. The background task queue is utilized by background writer threads to execute the I/O operations in parallel with calculations.

Abstract: A system for identifying genuine user-merchant association. The system includes one or more processors and/or transceivers individually or collectively programmed to check the validity or expiration of a certificate from a device from which a request originates to create a certificate score, analyze previous communication from the device from which the request originates across a plurality of entities and regions to create a previous communication score, and conduct a messaging protocol check to create a protocol score. The one or more processors and/or transceivers are also programmed to output a weighted final score comprising a determination of whether to accept or deny the request based at least in part on one or more of the certificate scores, the previous communication score, or the protocol score. The one or more processors and/or transceivers are also programmed to save the weighted final score.

Abstract: High-speed data communication devices, e.g., repeaters, interfacing between a host and a peripheral operate such that high-speed components except for a host-side squelch detector are set or maintained in a deactivated state during an idle period of a micro frame. In an example, a start of a micro frame is detected on a data bus during a first time period. In a second time period after the first time period, the high-speed communication device determines whether at least one data packet is contained in the micro frame. When it is determined during the second time period that no data packet is contained in the micro frame, active components, except a squelch detector, are controlled to be inactive during a third time period after the second time period.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for adding one or more annotations from a printed version of a document to a digital version of the document. The methods and systems include receiving the printed document with one or more annotations, which represent review comments of a reviewer. The printed document including one or more annotations is scanned to obtain a scanned document. Thereafter, the scanned document is compared with the original digital version of the document to identify the one or more annotations.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for re-balancing and healing of an SD-WAN in an unbalanced state and/or experiencing one or more failure states. In response to a request to connect to a new controller resulting from OMP load shedding from a first controller, the system can identify other controllers capable of handling the load requirements of the edge router. The system can incorporate the controller group preference of the edge router and select a second controller based on the identified other controllers and within the preferred controller group. If not possible, the system can temporarily assign the edge router to non-preferred controller groups and move them back to controllers in the preferred controller group once it becomes viable. The system further enhances OMP graceful restart (GR) logic to incorporate the load shedding effect and avoid unnecessary route retention that GR entails.

The housing defines a gap between a first edge of the housing and a second edge of the housing, the gap adapted to receive tissue. The first and second needles curved needles being articulable within the housing from a delivery position, at which the first and second needles are spaced from the gap, to a deployed position, at which the first and second needles extend through the gap. Actuation of the shaft simultaneously articulates the first and second needles and the first needle enters the gap before the second needle enters the gap.
