Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for printing, and methods of using to prepare printed articles (such as films suitable for use in electronics applications).

Abstract: A network computer system provides interactive graphic design system instructions for performing fragment-based design search. The network computer system receives a search query specifying a representation of one or more design elements. The network computer system matches one or more embeddings associated with the representation to a set of embeddings for a set of design fragments, wherein each of the one or more design fragments corresponds to a subset of one or more hierarchical structures representing one or more design interfaces. The network computer system generates a set of search results using the set of embeddings and outputs the set of search results in a response to the search query.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises receiving, by a processor, search requests to search a database; receiving a reindex request to reindex information in the database based on a new ontology for the database or a new number of shards for a first index server; initiating, by the processor, generation of a second index for the database while a first index managed by the first index server continues to be used live for responding to received search requests; completing the generation of the second index during a certain period when no search request is sent to the first index server; and in response to the completing, using the second index live for responding to received search requests.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for graphical user interfaces that enable users to graphically design nodes and interconnections of pipelines for preprocessing data later ingested into an indexing system. The preprocessing can include receiving messages published to a first publish-subscribe messaging system, the messages containing raw machine data generated by one or more components in an information technology environment, performing one or more processing operations on at least some of the messages to generate preprocessed messages, republishing the preprocessed messages to a second publish-subscribe messaging system, and providing to the indexing system, a subset of the messages from the second publish-subscribe messaging system. Nodes in the pipeline can specify the preprocessing operations, and interconnections in the pipeline can represent data flow through the nodes of the pipeline.

Abstract: Systems and methods for live reindexing include receiving, at a dispatch server, a request to reindex a database, wherein, at the time the request to reindex is received, the dispatch server is configured to send queries for information in the database to a first index server, the first index server comprising a first index of information in the database. The systems and methods further include, responsive to receiving the request to reindex and while the database is live, generating a second index of the information in the database, storing the second index at a second index server, and configuring the dispatch server to use the second index server as a live index server and to no longer use the first index server as a live index server.
