Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed maintaining playback of content at a target or desired playback time. A playback device may be configured to compare a current playback time of a content asset to a target playback time of the content asset and to determine, for each comparison, whether a difference between the current playback time and the target playback time has reached a threshold. Based on determining that the difference between the current playback time and the target playback time has reached a threshold, the playback device may seek to the target playback time of the content asset. The playback device may be configured to repeatedly perform the comparing, determining and seeking operations in order to maintain the current playback time of the content within the threshold of the target playback time.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for processing data using data pipelines. For instance, a first version of data may be read from one or more databases for processing by a data pipeline. Stages of the data pipeline may then process the data, such as by transforming, validating, or changing the data, in order to generate additional versions of the data. These versions of the data are passed through the subsequent stages of the data pipeline. Additionally, metadata may be generated for one or more stages of the data pipeline, where the metadata represents information describing the processing by the one or more stages. This metadata may also be passed through the subsequent stages of the data pipeline. Based on the last stage of the data pipeline processing the data, the versions of the data along with the metadata may then be written into the one or more databases.

Abstract: A beverage syrup pump system is disclosed including a pump housing having an internal pumping chamber, a pump motor, and a pumping mechanism driven by the motor within the pumping chamber. The pumping mechanism receives a syrup fluid at a first pressure and discharges the fluid at a second pressure which is greater than the first pressure. Connected to the pumping chamber is a cylindrical space with a spring and a plunger having a magnet. The plunger is in contact with a quantity of the fluid at a second pressure and moves along the cylindrical space against the biasing force of the spring. Once the second pressure exceeds a predetermined pressure, the corresponding fluid pressure in the cylindrical space exerts enough force on the plunger to move it past a predetermined point within the cylindrical space such that the magnet causes a reed switch in a first position switch to move to a second position and send a signal to a controller.

Abstract: An OT-IT (operational technology-information technology) service of a provider network allows operators to configure gateway connectors for data sources (e.g., machines at an industrial site) and allows developers to specify workflows that consume data from the data sources. To do so, the OT-IT service provides an operator interface to receive topology data for the client's remote network. The OT-IT service configures connectors for data sources based on the topology data and deploys the connectors to gateway devices. The OT-IT service also provides a developer interface to present available data sources and to receive specifications for workflows that consume data from the data sources. The OT-IT service deploys the workflows to execution locations. The OT-IT service then configures the gateways to send tagged data from the connectors to the workflows for processing.
