Patent number: 12067419Abstract: Load balancing processes are performed in an observability pipeline system comprising a plurality of computing resources. In some aspects, the observability pipeline system defines a leader role and worker roles. A plurality of computing jobs each include computing tasks associated with event data. The leader role dispatches the computing tasks to the worker roles according to a least in-flight task dispatch criteria, which includes iteratively: identifying an available worker role; identifying one or more incomplete computing jobs; selecting, from the one or more incomplete computing jobs, a computing job that has the least number of in-flight computing tasks currently being executed in the observability pipeline system; identifying a next computing task from the selected computing job; and dispatching the next computing task to the available worker role. The worker roles execute the computing tasks by applying an observability pipeline process to the event data associated with the respective computing task.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2023Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Cribl, Inc.Inventors: Dritan Bitincka, Ledion Bitincka, Nicholas Robert Romito, Clint Sharp

Patent number: 9140267Abstract: A compressor housing defines a gas inlet flow path and a gas outlet and a rotatable impeller wheel between the gas inlet flow path and the gas outlet. An inner wall of the housing defines a surface in close proximity to radially outer edges of impeller wheel vanes that sweep across the surface as the wheel rotates. An opening is provided in the inner wall at the surface. A port is provided in the housing in gas communication with the opening for diverting gas in a direction away from the inlet flow path during relatively low flow conditions. A gas displacement device is disposed outside of the inlet flow path and connected to the port, wherein the pump is operable to remove gas selectively through the opening and the port in a direction away from the inlet flow path.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2009Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Cummins Turbo Technologies LimitedInventor: Nicholas Sharp

Publication number: 20140012754Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for providing a financial document processing system. The system receives an image of a financial document, such as a check, and identifies at least a transaction amount from the financial document. Then the system determines account information associated with the financial document. The system may identify a routing and account number on the financial document or identify the document based on a name on the document. Once the transaction amount and account information are known, the system determines a prospective balance for a financial account based on the account information and the transaction amount. If there are funds at least equal to the transaction amount in the financial account, the system validates the transactions. In some embodiments, the system also immediately updates the balance of the account and/or offers to complete the transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2012Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Carrie Anne HANSON, Scott R.
