Abstract: A full floor sweep system having a skeletonized head section to facilitate removal of grain from a grain bin. The sweep system having an elongated body extending a length between an inward end and an outward end and having a leading side and a trailing side. The elongated body is connected to a pivot point at the center of the grain bin and is configured to rotate around the pivot point. An agitator is connected to the outward end of the elongated body and is configured to agitate grain as the elongated body rotates around the pivot point. The agitator includes an impeller that is connected to a shaft that extends through the elongated body. A scraper is positioned at the outward end of the elongated body and is configured to move grain into the path of the elongated body.

Abstract: A quick-release ballistic plate assembly for a protective vest includes an outer chassis configured to attach to a chest and/or back panel of the vest. The outer chassis has an open lower end leading to an inner cavity, wherein a ballistic plate and sleeve subassembly inserts upward into the cavity. An emergency release handle depending downward from the subassembly may be pulled to overcome a retention mechanism and jettison the subassembly in case the wearer ends up in a body of water or alternative situation requiring such function. This avoids the need to shed the entire protective vest which typically has numerous pockets for a variety of tools, survival gear and ammunition. The assembly may be built into the protective vest at the OEM level, or may be retrofit to existing vests.

Abstract: Technologies for enabling remote direct memory access (RDMA) transport of serialized objects in streaming pipelines are described. One method of a first computing device that stores a serialized object in a first memory can generate a remote descriptor associated with the serialized object. The remote descriptor uniquely identifies the location of the serialized object and a reference count token. The first computing device sends the remote descriptor to a second computing device in the data center over a network fabric. The second computing device uses the remote descriptor to obtain the contiguous block from the first memory for storage at a second memory associated with the second computing device. The value of the reference count token can be updated by receiving a message from the second computing device, and the remote descriptor can be released responsive to the value of the reference count token satisfying a threshold value.

Abstract: Technologies for batching remote descriptors of serialized objects in streaming pipelines are described. One method of a first computing device generates a streaming batch of remote descriptors. Each remote descriptor uniquely identifies a contiguous block of a serialized object. The first computing device sends at least one of the remote descriptors to a second computing device before the streaming batch is completed. At least some contents of a contiguous block are obtained for storage at a second memory associated with the second computing device before the streaming batch is completed.

Abstract: Technologies for enabling downstream components to update upstream states in streaming pipelines are described. One method of a first computing device receives a remote promise object assigned to a first serialized object from a second computing device in the data center over a network fabric. The remote promise object uniquely identifies a first contiguous block of the first serialized object stored in a memory associated with the second computing device. The method obtains contents of the first contiguous block and sends contents of a second serialized object back to the second computing device to release the remote promise object.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented that provide an asynchronous task scheduling framework in which tasks are asynchronously scheduled for performance by a server system. Scheduling of a task is performed by marshalling the task (units of work converted to bytes) and storing the task in queues and retrieving the task from the queues and unmarshalling the retrieved tasks (bytes to units of work). The unmarshalled task is sent to a service (e.g., an email service) for performance. Examples of the approach introduce wrapping a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)/remote procedure call (RPC) call and brokering it transparently through a high-throughput message queue system.

Abstract: A demolition system includes a frame, a plurality of outriggers, a demolition apparatus, and a water reservoir. The frame includes a frame base, a plurality of support members coupled to the frame base, a platform coupled to the plurality of support members, and one or more lifting ears extending from the platform. The plurality of outriggers are coupled to the frame base. The demolition apparatus is coupled to and supported by the frame base. The demolition apparatus includes a main body rotatably coupled to the frame base, an arm extending from the main body between two of the plurality of support members, one or more gripping members coupled to the arm, and a motor configured to selectively rotate the main body relative to the frame base. The water reservoir is coupled to and supported by the platform of the frame. Additionally, the water reservoir provides water to the demolition apparatus.
