  • Publication number: 20240165630
    Abstract: Agitator mill including a grinding chamber containing grinding bodies and an agitator shaft, which revolves therein about a horizontal agitator shaft axis, which supports several grinding members, which are connected to it in a rotationally fixed manner and which are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the horizontal axis, preferably in the shape of grinding disks, which move the grinding bodies, whereby, on the outlet side, the agitator shaft has a basket, which is preferably studded with grinding members on its outer circumference and which overlaps the split tube-supporting outlet, characterized in that in the region of its free end, the basket has a section with an enlarged outer diameter.

  • Patent number: 10496643
    Abstract: One or more approximations of query output in a data analytics platform are controlled. The one or more approximations are controlled by generating values of error metrics associated with placements of samplers in one or more query execution plans associated with the query, and injecting a plurality of samplers into the query execution plans, using the determined values of the error metrics, in lieu of storing samples of input to the query prior to execution of the query.

  • Publication number: 20160182360
    Abstract: An enterprise computer system efficiently adjusts the number of middleboxes associated with the the enterprise, for example, with changes in demand, by transferring not only flows of instructions but also middlebox states associated with those flows. Loss-less transfer preventing the loss of packets and its state, and order-preserving transfer preserving packet ordering may be provided by a two-step transfer process in which packets are buffered during the transfer and are marked to be processed by a receiving middlebox before processing by that middlebox of ongoing packets for the given flow.
