Abstract: In some examples, a database system includes a plurality of processing engines to process data for database operations, and instructions executable on at least one processor to insert first data into first objects stored in a remote data store coupled to the database system over a network, and select, based on a size of the first data, a first partition level from a plurality of different partition levels to associate with the first objects. Different partition levels define different quantities of hash buckets that correspond to different distributions of objects across the plurality of processing engines. The first partition level is associated with the first objects.

Abstract: In some examples, a database system includes a storage medium to store a materialized view (MV) that includes data satisfying an MV condition. At least one processor is to receive a query including a query condition, determine that the query condition partially matches the MV condition, and access a part of the data in the MV partially satisfy the query.

Abstract: In some examples, a database system includes a plurality of processing engines to access data over a network from a data store. In response to a join query to join a plurality of tables, a first processing engine retrieves tuples of a first table from a subset of objects of the data store, and adds content of the retrieved tuples to an in-memory table, where the objects are range partitioned across the plurality of processing engines based on respective ranges of values of at least one join attribute in the join query. The first processing engine retrieves, from the data store, tuples of a second table of the plurality of tables based on a range of values of the at least one join attribute in the retrieved tuples of the first table. The first processing engine performs an in-memory join of the plurality of tables based on the retrieved tuples of the second table and the in-memory table.

Abstract: Antibody molecules that bind to CD73 are disclosed. The anti-CD73 antibody molecules can be used to treat, prevent and/or diagnose cancer.

Abstract: A composite ash produced by thermally processing paper and/or carpet exothermic processing waste, the composite ash being an inorganic mineral product or oxidized material of common crystalline and amorphous non-crystalline composition comprising metakaolin and at least one of a group consisting of mineral oxide and mineral carbonate, the composite ash being reactive with a pH greater than about 7.0.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for generating sustainability insights and recommendations are presented. An asset disposition service may maintain a library comprising a plurality of software objects. Each of the software objects may correspond to a hardware computing asset and each software object may have a plurality of attributes associated with it related to the physical makeup of the asset, the software executed by the asset, regulatory issues associated with the asset, or contractual terms associated with the asset. The asset disposition service may apply various algorithms and/or machine learning models to one or more attributes of the software objects to generate sustainability insights and recommendations that can be utilized to identify best disposition paths for assets and for meeting sustainability goals.

Abstract: In some examples, a system stores data in a logically disconnected data store. In response to a query for data in the data store, the system accesses metadata of objects stored in the data store, the metadata including information of a respective range of values of at least one clustering attribute in data contained in each respective object of the objects. The system partitions the objects across the plurality of processing engines based on the information of the respective ranges of values of the at least one clustering attribute in the data contained in the objects. The system assigns, based on the partitioning, the objects to respective processing engines of the plurality of processing engines.

Abstract: A garment hanger and a sizer that can be removably mounted to the hanger are provided. The sizer includes a pair of inwardly extending fingers for mounting the sizer to a hook or a body of the hanger. The sizer can be manually or automatically removed from the sizer by a tool, by inserting the tool into a space between the hanger and a respective inwardly extending finger. The hanger and the sizer enable a method of reusing hangers and sizers, by automatically removing the sizers from the hangers, processing the removed hangers and sizers to provide reusable hangers and sizers. The reusable hangers and sizers are distributed to remote garment manufacturers for providing garment-on-hanger products.

Abstract: Providing digital video having customized graphics whose appearance and operation are specified by a graphics template expressed using one or more web-based protocols. One or more software modules, executing on a media server, identify, for a particular digital video, a markup language document which describes or identifies a customized appearance of one or more graphics to be incorporated into a presentation of particular digital video and shown to an identified audience. The markup language document may be an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document or a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) document. The media server streams the particular digital video having the one or more graphics to a member of the identified audience in accordance with the markup language document. An HTML rendering engine, executing on the media server, may pass through one or more audio streams to be incorporated into an output stream without re-encoding the one or more audio streams.

Abstract: An approach for tracking data stored in caches uses a Bloom filter to reduce the number of addresses that need to be tracked by a coherence directory. When a requested address is determined to not be currently tracked by either the coherence directory or the Bloom filter, tracking of the address is initiated in the Bloom filter, but not in the coherence directory. Initiating tracking of the address in the Bloom filter includes setting hash bits in the Bloom filter so that subsequent requests for the address will “hit” the Bloom filter. When a requested address is determined to be tracked by the coherence directory, the Bloom filter is not used to track the address.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for generating safety conditions for a cyber-physical system with state space S, action space A and trajectory data labelled as either safe or unsafe. In operation, the system receives inputs and ten minimizes loss functions to cause a neural network to become a barrier function. Based on the barrier function, the system can then determine if the cyber-physical system is entering an usafe state, such that if the cyber-physical system is entering the usafe state, then the cyber-physical system is caused to initiate a maneuver to position the cyber-physical system into a safe state.
