  • Publication number: 20200285610
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution is used to provide for a highly efficient image dispatch system for container-based in-memory databases in a database-as-a-service framework that provides storage and bandwidth cost savings and introduces advanced features of container techniques. This solution makes best use of the advantages of the concurrent and distributed capabilities of in-memory databases in a database-as-a-service framework. A container operator manager provides operators for various uses, such as the “diff” operator and the “merge” operator. A dispatch manager acts as a centralized service for diff content maintenance, patch publication and management of dispatch worker nodes. A patch worker on each node has the capabilities to execute the specified patching and validation between the images located on each side of the in-memory database in the database-as-a-service framework.

  • Patent number: 10586156
    Abstract: Mechanisms for processing a knowledge canvassing request receive a request specifying an entity of interest from an originator of the request and analyze the request to extract a feature of the request. The mechanisms determine whether the request is a targeted natural language question to be answered or a knowledge canvassing request, based on the extracted feature. In response to determining that the request is a knowledge canvassing request, the mechanisms process the request by identifying entities represented in a knowledge graph data structure as being related to the entity of interest. The mechanisms output results of the processing of the request to the originator of the request.

  • Publication number: 20200035977
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an isolation board assembly and a battery module, the isolation board assembly comprises an isolation board and electrical connection pieces. The isolation board comprises: a plurality of supporting portions; a plurality of first limiting portions, each first limiting portion and the corresponding supporting portion form an interval. Each electrical connection piece comprises a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is received in the interval, clamped and fixed by the first limiting portion and the supporting portion, and the second end portion extends out of the supporting portion. The assembly manner is simple and fast, which improves the assembling efficiency. Because the first end portion is supported on the supporting portion, the second end portion extends out of the supporting portion, it makes the dimension of the isolation board is small, thereby decreasing the volume and weight of the isolation board.
