Publication number: 20240361993Abstract: A method performed by one or more processors comprises displaying code, receiving user selection of a portion of code, determining one or more settable data items, generating a template, displaying the template, receiving a user input value for the settable data items by the template, and executing the code with each of the settable data items set to the received user input value. A data processing pipeline is configured to pass a data item to a first transformer to provide first transformed data, store the first transformed data in a temporary memory, write the first transformed data to the data storage system, and pass the transformed data from the temporary memory to a second transformer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Eliot Ball, Matthew Jenny, Nicholas Gates, Erin Price-Wright, Kamran Khan, Gregory Manis, Emeline Wu

Publication number: 20240126032Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a cable jacket having an inner surface and an outer surface in which the inner surface defines a central bore along a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable and the outer surface defines the outermost extent of the cable. The optical fiber cable also includes at least one access feature disposed in the cable jacket between the inner surface and the outer surface. Further included are a first plurality of optical fiber bundles. Each optical fiber bundle includes a second plurality of optical fiber ribbons that has a third plurality of optical fibers arranged in a planar configuration. The optical fiber cable bends uniformly in all directions transverse to the longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Jessica Ruth Abercrombie, Kevin Nicholas Ball, Xiaole Cheng, Jason Clay Lail, Rebecca Elizabeth Sistare, Ellen Anderson Stupka
