Abstract: A method of controlling a chemical reaction is disclosed. The method may include feeding a solution at a first flow rate into a reactor and detecting a sound in the reactor using a sound sensor that is adjacent to the reactor. The sound sensor may convert the sound into a sound signal. After the sound signal is acquired, it is compared to a stored sound signal or a stored sound threshold to detect a reaction event. The method may include adjusting the flow rate of solutions into the reactor in response to the reaction event.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for performing searches of event records by leveraging reference values in an inverted index. A method of searching comprises accessing a query associated with a first set of event records in a field searchable data store, each event record comprising a time-stamped portion of raw machine data. The method further comprises evaluating the query and generating results for the query by accessing an inverted index, wherein each entry in the inverted index comprises at least one field, a corresponding at least one field value and a reference value that identifies a location in the field searchable data store where an associated event record is stored. The method further comprises performing a search to filter out a second set of event records and retrieving the second set of event records from the field searchable data store using reference values in the inverted index.

Abstract: A system and method for simplifying the creation of documentation, and especially software documentation. A software application, referred to as a source metadata tagger and document compiler is used to add metadata to a final output document. This metadata contains identifiers that are associated with various source files. In this way, the system can easily determine which source file is being reviewed and/or flagged by the reviewer. This information can be used by the ticketing/notification system to create a work item for the appropriate developer or development group. This is vastly simpler than the current system, where human intervention is required to determine which source file is being flagged.

Abstract: A database management engine provides a user interface that allows users to access and modify employee information in a database. The database includes entries for employees, and each database entry includes identifying information about the associated employee. A user can request to modify data within database entries, for instance in order to update information associated with an employee. Responsive to the request, the database management engine identifies liabilities associated with the database modification stemming from associated tax laws. Based on the identified tax liabilities, the engine computes the aggregate tax liability owed by the employer and/or employee. Before modifying a database entry, the engine modifies the user interface to include interface elements detailing the computed aggregate tax liability. The user explicitly can be required to confirm the database modification in view of the aggregate tax liability.
