  • Publication number: 20240123132
    Abstract: A drain cassette for a dialysis unit has a fluid channel between venous and arterial connection ports, and a valve may controllably open and close fluid communication between a drain outlet port and the venous connection port or the arterial connection port. A blood circuit assembly and drain cassette may be removable from the dialysis unit, e.g., by hand and without the use of tools. A blood circuit assembly may include a single, unitary member that defines portions of a pair of blood pumps, control valves, channels to accurately position flexible tubing for an occluder, an air trap support, and/or other portions of the assembly. A blood circuit assembly engagement device may assist with retaining a blood circuit assembly on the dialysis unit, and/or with removal of the assembly. An actuator may operate a retainer element and an ejector element that interact with the assembly.

  • Patent number: 11200212
    Abstract: This disclosure describes documenting modifications to configuration file that can affect (e.g., change) behavior of a component of a service provided by a database management system. The service can collect metadata associated with a request to modify a configuration file affecting the behavior of the component of the service. The service can modify the configuration file in response to the request. The modification can change the behavior of the component of the service. The service can generate data representing documentation of the modification to the configuration file and the metadata. The data can represent the documentation being configured for storage by the database management system. Related apparatuses, systems, methods, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10977266
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing ad-hoc analytical queries of graph data. An embodiment operates by receiving a graph pattern for a subgraph of interest. The facts of interest are then selected from graph data based on the received graph pattern. Dimensions are then defined based on a dimension seed pattern and a set of level expressions, and measures are defined based on a computation function and an aggregation function. A graph cube is formed based on the selected facts and the defined dimensions and measures. Because the facts, dimensions, and measures of interest are defined at the time of an analytical query, a user does not have to define such facts, dimensions, and measures, or know which analytical queries will be of interest, at the time of data collection.

  • Patent number: 10831771
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for interactive exploration of graph data. An embodiment operates by compiling a data query in any database-readable language based upon an input parameter. A data query of a graph data set is then conducted but is halted when a breakpoint generated from the input parameter is reached. Halting the data query includes partitioning a data subset from the graph data set. The data subsets is then displayed.
