  • Publication number: 20170011099
    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.

  • Publication number: 20160314636
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coin processing device (10) and a corresponding method for classifying coins using the coin processing device (10). For this purpose, the coin processing device (10) comprises at least one computerized controller (9), which has a storage unit (36), and at least one coin channel (34) for guiding a coin (35). The at least one coin channel (34) comprises at least one sensor (37) which is suitable for measuring a passage time of the coin (35) and is connected to the computerized controller (9). Furthermore, an accelerating device (43) for the coins (35) is provided, said accelerating device (43) likewise being connected to the computerized controller (9) and being designed to accelerate the coin (35) in a reproducible manner. A target speed value for a specified coin (35) is stored in the storage unit (36), said target speed value being comparable to an actual speed value of the coin. The actual speed value is calculated on the basis of the transport time detected by the sensor (37).

  • Publication number: 20160187264
    Abstract: A testing device for testing an inner surface of a rotationally symmetrical cavity in a workpiece has a measuring head which defines an axial direction, and on which an optical system is situated. The optical system is in image transmission connection with an image recorder and a downstream evaluation apparatus. The testing device also has an illumination arrangement for illuminating an imaging area of the inner surface which is detected by the optical system. The illumination arrangement is designed and configured for illuminating the inner surface which is detected by the optical system. The illumination arrangement can illuminate the inner surface to be tested from different illumination directions in order to generate shadow images of the topography of the inner surface. The evaluation apparatus is designed and configured for determining the topography based on the shadow images recorded by the image recorder.

  • Publication number: 20160063081
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150370919
    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer-readable storage medium for a traversal of a property graph, are provided. The edge table of the property graph is divided into a plurality of fragments. A first fragment is selected for traversal using a set of selected vertices, where the traversal identifies a set of edges. Based on the set of edges, a set of adjacent vertices is determined during the traversal. A set of discovered vertices in the property graph is determined based on the set of selected vertices and the set of adjacent vertices.

  • Publication number: 20150370838
    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and computer-readable storage medium for generating a block-based index, are provided. A block index is generated where the block index comprises a plurality of blocks and a block corresponds to a section of a graph column that stores a value. A block range vector is also generated for the index where the block range vector includes range information for the block that corresponds to the section of the graph and where the block-based index facilitates traversal of the graph column that searches for the value by constraining the traversal to the section of the graph.

  • Publication number: 20150292941
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a modal decomposition of a laser beam are disclosed. The method includes the steps of performing a measurement to determine the second moment beam size (w) and beam propagation factor (M2) of the laser beam, and inferring the scale factor (wO) of the optimal basis set of the laser beam from the second moment beam size and the beam propagation factor, from the relationship: wO=w/M2. An optimal decomposition is performing using the scale factor wO to obtain an optimal mode set of adapted size. The apparatus includes a spatial light modulator arranged for complex amplitude modulation of an incident laser beam, and imaging means arranged to direct the incident laser beam onto the spatial light modulator. Fourier transforming lens is arranged to receive a laser beam reflected from the spatial light modulator.

  • Publication number: 20150251745
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are disclosed for controlling the flow of a fluid over the window of an optical instrument housing in a freestream flow field. For example, the flow upstream of the housing may be split to create a flow region over the window that is conducive to successful operation of the instrument. The flow region may be maintained for various rotations of the housing about yaw, pitch, and roll axes. The disclosed features in some embodiments induce flow regions with reduced spatial and temporal density gradients of the flow over the window.

  • Patent number: 8508743
    Abstract: In a crankshaft testing method for the classification testing of at least one bearing surface of a crankshaft or the like, a reflection of a reference object at the bearing surface to be tested (reflection image) is detected by at least one sensor, using a sensor system. The detected reflection image is evaluated with regard to its contrast, and the crankshaft is classified as “unsatisfactory” when the contrast is below a predefined or predefinable threshold value.
