  • Patent number: 11551184
    Abstract: A method of inventory data aggregation and delivery over a distributed network comprises generating inventory data with respect to plural disparate sources, and publishing that data over a distributed network to an event processor. The method further includes receiving the published inventory data through subscription to the event processor and distributing it to a plurality of requesting devices, e.g., client devices, over the distributed network. This can include aggregating and filtering by locale or product-type the inventory data in response to requests received from those devices. This can further include reducing the aggregated, filtered data to accommodate inventory reserves, e.g., of retail outlets.

  • Patent number: 11216444
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for event sourcing datastores are provided. Events are sent to an event sourcing datastore (ESDS) from an external service, and the events are appended to an event log. The ESDS maintains the event log in one table and the events are automatically aggregated via streaming. The ESDS is linearly scalable, and enforces uniqueness, consistency, and user-defined constraints when appending events to the event log. The aggregate state is computed asynchronously and transparently cached, which provides increased read throughput and reduced latency. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20070254522
    Abstract: A strain relief device is disclosed for securely holding a wire in a manner restraining the wire from being pulled longitudinally out of a housing. The housing has an opening therein extending along a longitudinally axis from a mouth portion to a chamber bottom. The opening has a narrow mouth portion sized large enough to receive a wire and a chamber portion located deeper in the opening and sized significantly larger than said mouth portion. A strain relief member is positioned in the chamber portion near the location of a junction of the mouth portion and the chamber portion along a first side of a wire inserted into the opening. The strain relief member provides a structure around which a wire inserted into the opening may be bent from a straight wire to a wire having at least one angled bend therein. A wire bending member is movable from a first position located outside of the opening to a second position located inside said opening.

  • Publication number: 20050064759
    Abstract: An electrical connector provides an electrical connection to an unstripped end of an insulated electrical cable of the type having an outer sheath within which an insulated hot wire, an insulated neutral wire, and a ground wire are enclosed. The connector has a body formed of an electrically insulating material and a cavity in a first body end sized to receive an unstripped end of the cable. A lid is pivotally connected to the body which is adapted to rotate around an axis of rotation between and open position and a closed position. A hot blade conductor, a neutral blade conductor, and at least one ground blade conductor are positioned in the lid. The blade conductors each have at least one downwardly depending blade and an outlet portion. The blades conductors are spaced apart. When the lid is in open position, the blades do not extend within said cavity. When the lid in a closed, the blades do extend within the cavity and make an electrical connection with the hot, neutral and ground wires of the cable.
