  • Patent number: 11841852
    Abstract: A database system may receive a natural language query that is associated with a tenant of a multi-tenant system. The natural language query may be parsed into a set of tokens, and the set of tokens may be tagged, using a tenant specific tagging model associated with the tenant, the set of tokens with at least one pre-configured data type identifier that is configured for the plurality of tenants. A global tagging model that supports the plurality of tenants of the multi-tenant system may tag the set of tokens with at least one category identifier. The global tagging model may use the natural language query and the pre-configured data type identifier to identify the at least one category identifier. The system may execute a database query on a database associated with the tenant using the at least one pre-configured data type identifier and the at least one category identifier.

  • Patent number: 9941562
    Abstract: A microwave-frequency filtering structure includes two dielectric layers separated by a conducting layer that is etched in the pattern of a filter, the upper and lower exterior faces of the stack being covered over the larger part of their surface by a conducting plane constituting ground planes of the structure, which are interlinked by a metallization of the periphery of the structure; two identical devices, an input and an output transition device, each allowing the passage from a microstrip mode to a stripline mode and vice versa, configured so that the geometry of the transition device is optimized to minimize the standing wave ratios at the ports of the filter, and to minimize the excitation and the coupling of the TE10 mode, two conducting pillars perpendicular to the plane of the structure and situated close to its principal axis, without being coupled with the filter, and linking the upper and lower ground planes.
