Based on an insert/update/delete (IUD) feature being enabled, and based on receiving an IUD request at a massively parallel processing (MPP) database management system (DBMS) engine, identifying a partition optimized for the IUD request. A partition map is loaded corresponding to a partition optimized for only IUD requests. Based on the IUD request being an insert row operation, a new distribution key is calculated by hash. A new partition map is generated, the insert row operation is executed using the new partition map.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a speaker device may have a curved housing characterized by a vertical longitudinal axis. A layer of fabric may cover the curved housing. A touch sensor may be used to detect touch input on the layer of fabric. The touch sensor may include capacitive touch sensor electrodes including drive lines and sense lines. In some arrangements, the touch sensor is formed from conductive strands in the layer of fabric. In other arrangements, the touch sensor is formed from conductive traces on a substrate. The substrate may be formed from portions of the curved housing or may be formed from a layer that is separate from the housing. Light-emitting components and/or fabric with different visual characteristics may be used to mark where the touch-sensitive regions of the fabric are located. The touch-sensitive regions may be shaped as media control symbols.

Abstract: A coupling system of CO2 capture in flue gas and CO2 mineralization based on industrial solid waste includes: 1) an adsorption reaction device configured to treat flue gas with the embedded adsorbents, 2) a thermal decomposition device designed to decompose the first carbonate products to oxides and carbon dioxide, wherein the produced oxides are circulated to the adsorption reaction device, and 3) an industrial solid waste mineralization system configured to treat the deactivated oxides and the as-produced carbon dioxide.

Abstract: A method for selecting at least one connection pattern drivable by road users using a control device. Trajectory data are received from at least one area. On the basis of the received trajectory data, starting points and end points of drivable trajectories are determined. All the connection patterns between the starting points and the end points of the drivable trajectories are determined in the form of connecting lines. The determined connection patterns are filtered by at least one filter. Connection patterns remaining after filtering are compared with route profiles from the trajectory data. For each remaining connection pattern a number of route profiles which correspond to the connection pattern are counted. A connection pattern with the highest number of matching route profiles is selected. A control device, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium are also described.

Abstract: A method for creating map data having lane-specific resolution. Mapping data are initially received, the mapping data being transmitted by a vehicle, and including a vehicle trajectory and at least one object feature. Once the mapping data has been received, it is checked whether map data for local surroundings of the received mapping data are present. In the event the check indicates that no map data are present, map data are created from the mapping data and stored in a memory. In the event the check indicates that map data are already present, the map data are compared with the mapping data. If this comparison reveals that the mapping data differ from the map data, the map data are adapted, the adaptation taking place on the basis of a weighting factor. The adapted map data are subsequently stored in the memory.
