  • Publication number: 20240134856
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for efficiently estimating the number of unique elements in a collection of elements comprises generating, via hash logic, hash values associated with the elements. The hash values specify bit positions within an array of bits. Hash values output from the hash logic conform to a geometric distribution such that bit positions of the array of bits corresponding to lower orders bits are more likely to be generated than bit positions corresponding to higher-order bits. Bits of the array of bits corresponding to the bit positions are set. The number of bits of the array of bits that are set is counted. Estimation logic estimates the number of unique elements of the collection of elements as a function of the number of bits of the array of bits that are set.

  • Publication number: 20240124120
    Abstract: Assemblies and methods for facilitating the assembly of aircraft wings to a fuselage are disclosed. In some embodiments, a wing unit includes features that are configured to define one of more parts of a pressure vessel that is partially defined by the fuselage portion. In some embodiments, the aircraft assemblies disclosed herein comprise one or more first structural interfaces that permit positional adjustment between the wing unit and the fuselage portion so that one or more second structural interfaces may be finished only after such positional adjustment. In some embodiments, the aircraft assemblies disclosed herein comprise one or more structural interfaces that are disposed outside of the wing unit in order to eliminate or reduce the need for assembly personnel to access the interior of the wing unit to carry out the structural assembly of the wing unit to the fuselage portion.

  • Publication number: 20240104099
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for efficiently estimating the number of unique elements in a collection of elements comprises generating, via hash logic, hash values for each element of the collection of elements. The method further comprises specifying, in a sketch-frequency table, a set of discrete statistical values associated with the hash values and, for each discrete statistical value of the set of discrete statistical values, information indicative of a frequency at which binary representations of the hash values are associated with the discrete statistical value. The cardinality of the collection of elements is estimated based on the sketch-frequency table.

  • Publication number: 20240095280
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a multi-tenant system that executes graph language requests using graph operations of a graph language. A graph language request—that configures tenant data for tenants in a multi-tenant system—is executed using a graph operations engine. The graph operations engine receives and parses a graph language request that includes a list of tenants and a definition of data operations. The set of data operations of the definition are executed on a tree of data operation nodes comprising a plurality of leaf nodes and a root node. Executing the data operations is based on graph language actions (e.g., composition, transformation, and aggregation) that support asynchronously returning results data associated with configuring the Tenant data. Executing the data operations of the definition causes generation of results data (e.g., root node results or leaf node results) configuration of the tenant data in the multi-tenant system.

  • Publication number: 20240085795
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method includes depositing a photoresist layer over a semiconductor wafer to be patterned by photolithography, the photoresist layer having a first height, and exposing the photoresist layer to a pattern of actinic radiation to form exposed regions and non-exposed regions of the photoresist layer. The method further includes depositing an agent-containing layer over the photoresist layer and executing a post-exposure bake of the semiconductor wafer. The post-exposure bake modifies portions of the photoresist layer to form soluble portions of the photoresist layer for development. The soluble portions of the photoresist layer include the exposed regions and top portions of the non-exposed regions. The method further includes developing the photoresist layer to remove selectively the soluble portions, remaining portions of the non-exposed regions forming patterned structures of the semiconductor wafer and having a second height that is less than the first height.
