Abstract: Disclosed is a technique that can be performed in a distributed network. The technique can include a search service system that receives an indication of at least a portion of a search scheme to cause worker nodes to obtain search results from distributed data storage systems. The search scheme is defined by a data intake and query system. The search service system defines a search process based on the at least a portion of the search scheme and executes the search process to cause the worker nodes to obtain search results from the distributed data storage systems. The search service system receives a combination of search results based on the search results obtained by the worker nodes from the distributed data storage systems, and causes an output based on the combination of search results obtained by the data intake and query system in accordance with the search scheme.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique that can be performed in a distributed computer network. The technique can include a worker node that receives search instructions defined by a search service based on at least a portion of a search scheme defined by a data intake and query system, to cause the worker node to obtain search results from distributed data storage systems communicatively coupled to the worker node over a network. The distributed data storage systems include an external data storage system and/or an internal data storage system of the data intake and query system. The worker node obtains the search results by searching the distributed data storage systems in accordance with the search instructions, and communicating, over the network to the search service, a combination of search results based on the search results to cause an output by the data intake and query system in accordance with the search scheme.

The technique can include a data index and query system that receives a search query and defines a search scheme for applying the search query on distributed data storage systems including an internal data storage system of the data intake and query system and an external data storage system communicatively coupled to the data intake and query system over a network. The data index and query system communicates at least a portion of the search scheme to a search service for application on behalf of the data intake and query system, receives from the search service a search result of the search query obtained by application of the search scheme to the distributed data storage systems, and causes the search result or data indicative thereof to be displayed on a display device.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments also include monitoring and metering services of the data fabric service (DFS) system. Specifically, these services can include techniques for monitoring and metering metrics of the DFS system. The metrics are standards for measuring use or misuse of the DFS system. Examples of the metrics include data or components of the DFS system. For example, a metric can include data stored or communicated by the DFS system or components of the DFS system that are used or reserved for exclusive use by customers. The metrics can be measured with respect to time or computing resources (e.g., CPU utilization, memory usage) of the DFS system. For example, a DFS service can include metering the usage of particular worker nodes by a customer over a threshold period of time.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include techniques for exporting partial search results in parallel from peer indexers of a data intake and query system to the worker nodes. In particular, partial search results (e.g., time-indexed events) obtained from peer indexers can be exported in parallel from the peer indexers to worker nodes. Exporting the partial search results from the peer indexers in parallel can improve the rate at which the partial search results are transferred to the worker nodes for subsequent combination with partial search results of the external data systems. As such, the rate at which the search results of a search query can be obtained from the distributed data system can be improved by implementing parallel export techniques.

Abstract: Original transmitters of television broadcast content, such as national broadcasters, may tunnel various data such as SCTE-35 messages through a special closed captioning service before handoff to their local affiliates. The tunneled SCTE-35 messages may thus survive the re-encoding of both the local broadcaster to an over-the-air (OTA) retransmission, and re-encoding by any subsequent cable or satellite television providers as well. An uplink center and television service provider (e.g., a cable or satellite system) may receive the transport stream from the local broadcaster, may strip out the tunneled SCTE-35 messages from extra closed captioning streams at the uplink, re-create the SCTE-35, and then process it at the uplink of the satellite system, for example, by performing ad insertion, re-muxing the SCTE-35 for the satellite broadcast, and/or modifying it and sending it over the satellite broadcast on a separate PID to the set top boxes for those STBs for ad insertion.

Abstract: A sensor assembly comprises a device mounted on a surface of a vehicle and extending through at least one passage in the surface of the vehicle, and a sensor comprising a short range particulate (SRP) sensor, or a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) air data sensor. The sensor is co-located and integrated with the device mounted on the surface of the vehicle. No additional passages through the surface of the vehicle are needed to integrate the sensor with the device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and processor-readable media are provided for content distribution for a multi-channel content distribution system. A content item may be received by a video handling system. The content item may include video data, the content item corresponding to media for delivery to a television receivers via channel components. A metric of the content item may be detected as a function of time. Viewership data received from data sources may be processed, the viewership data indicative of one or more characteristics of viewers. The viewership data may be mapped to the content item. The content item may be qualified based on the viewership data to yield a qualification result for the content item. An encoding parameter to encode the content item may be determined based on the metric and the qualification result. Encoding of the content item may be specified in accordance with the encoding parameter.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for sorting items to a plurality of sort destinations. The items are fed into the apparatus at an input station having a scanning station. The scanning station evaluates one or more characteristics of each item. The items are then loaded onto one of a plurality of independently controlled delivery vehicles. The delivery vehicles are individually driven to sort destinations. Once at the appropriate sort destination, the delivery vehicle ejects the item to the sort destination and returns to receive another item to be delivered. A re-induction conveyor may be provided for receiving select items from the vehicles and conveying the items back to the input station for re-processing. Additionally, a controller is provided to control the movement of the vehicles based on a characteristic each item being delivered by each vehicle.

Abstract: Operators manufacture a wellscreen by forming a wire-wrapped screen on a base pipe. Rather than stopping and restarting winding, the desired length of screen is completed along the base pipe, and then the wire screen is segmented into a plurality of screen sections as required for the various zones and details of the implementation. Operators arrange the screen sections relative to one another on the base pipe, which can have different lengths with and without perforations. On the free ends of these separate screen sections, mating split ring components fit around the free ends and the base pipes. Male edges of one split ring component mate to complementary female edges of another to form the end ring around the screen section and base pipe, and longitudinal welds made in seams along the mating edges affix the split ring components together.
