Abstract: An intake manifold is provided having a base plate with discharge ports and an elongate pipe section extending along a face of the base plate. The pipe section has a front end with an intake port and progressively narrows at least adjacent a rear end. A first port in the rear end enables back-flushing of the manifold, and a second port in the rear end is angled relative to the base plate and enables insertion of a probe. Fork-lift openings extend between the base plate and the pipe section enabling the manifold to be lifted and positioned with a lift truck. Side ports extend through the pipe section and are angled relative to the base plate and adjacent one of the discharge ports to enable visual inspection of the discharge port. The side ports may include side ports located on both sides of the pipe section.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a scaling quota for a database system have been developed. The method defines a product that is defined by a client using a quota application programming interface (API). A report is created for the defined product with the quota API that is unique to the defined product and specifies a product quota and a limit endpoint for the report. The product quota is managed with a message broker by keeping an updated quota count for each report and product quota. An approval or rejection message is generated by the message broker for the client once the updated quota count reaches the limit endpoint. Finally, a response to the approval or rejection message from the client is generated for the database client by a limit provider application programming interface (API).

Abstract: A device for detecting a driving event of a vehicle, having a triaxial acceleration sensor and a processing unit. The device may be fixedly installed on the vehicle. The processing unit is configured to detect a plurality of acceleration values within a specific time span using the acceleration sensor, carry out a wavelet transform of the acceleration values to determine first coefficients, and compare the first coefficients at least to stored second coefficients. The second coefficients represent a predefined driving event. The processing unit is configured to detect the driving event represented by the second coefficients as an occurred driving event when the first coefficients are in agreement with the second coefficients, and is configured to determine characteristic parameters of the detected acceleration values, to ascertain a specific mother wavelet as a function of the characteristic parameters, and to carry out the wavelet transform based on the ascertained mother wavelet.
