  • Publication number: 20240092579
    Abstract: A container conveying system including a controller, a first robot, and/or a second robot. A first container pickup mechanism is provided on the first robot. A second container pickup mechanism is provided on the second robot. The controller is configured to, in response to a container conveying request, send a first conveying instruction to the first robot if it is determined a target container to be conveyed based on the container conveying request has a size within a first size range; or send a second conveying instruction to the second robot if it is determined the target has a size within a second size range. In warehousing operation scenarios, by jointly using the two robots for operation, containers with various container sizes can be picked up and placed, thus improving utilization rate of a container storage space.

  • Patent number: 11106672
    Abstract: A system includes a database client, and a distributed database comprising database nodes. The distributed database may receive a database query from the client, determine that the query comprises a range of hash values of a table partition stored by a node of the distributed database, and determine that the range of hash values is not stored by other nodes of the distributed database. Responsive to determining that the range of hash values of the query is stored by the node and not by the other nodes, the database may generate an optimized distributed execution plan that includes the node that stores the range of hash values and excludes the nodes that do not include the range of hash values.

  • Patent number: 10999244
    Abstract: The techniques described herein enable a private connectivity solution between a virtual network of a service consumer and a virtual network of a service provider in a cloud-based platform. The techniques map a service (e.g., one or more workloads or containers) executing in the virtual network of the service provider into the virtual network of the service consumer. The mapping uses network address translation (NAT) that is performed by the cloud-based infrastructure. As a result of the techniques described herein, a public Internet Protocol (IP) address does not need to be used to establish a connection thereby alleviating privacy and/or security concerns for the virtual networks of the service provider and/or the service consumer that are hosted by the cloud-based platform.
