Abstract: A query processing system operates by: determining a query for execution that indicates a join expression and further indicates a threshold maximum number of output rows for the join expression; determining a query operator execution flow for the join expression that includes performance of two join operations based on the threshold maximum number of output rows for the join expression, wherein a union of output of the two join operations is semantically equivalent to an output of the join expression; and executing the query based on: performing the two join operations in parallel upon sets of input rows; and based on determining a set of output rows outputted by the two join operations has reached the threshold maximum number of output rows, finalizing execution of the query before at least one of the two join operations has finished processing its input rows.

Abstract: A database system is operable to generate query output based on executing a plurality of operators of a query operator execution flow for a query. Executing each operator can include generating a set of output query rows based on processing a set of input query rows, maintaining execution tracking data for the each operator that includes at least one counter tracking at least one event type, and generating a set of execution tracking rows based on sampling the execution tracking data. The query output includes a final set of rows corresponding to a query resultant and a final set of execution tracking rows generated by at least one final operator based on an aggregation of a plurality of sets of execution tracking rows generated by the plurality of operators.

Abstract: A database system is operable to determine a query for execution. The database system can execute a left join operation for the query based on receiving a plurality of left input rows, and forwarding all of the plurality of left input rows are forwarded. It is determined whether any right input rows match with each given left input row based on a hash map. When one right input row is identified as matching with the given left input row, a value of right input row is copied and emitted in conjunction with the given left input row. When no right input rows are identified as matching with the given left input row, a null value is emitted in conjunction with the given left input row.

Abstract: A tubular structure (1) formed by a plurality of circumferentially continuous tubes (11, 12) of fibre reinforced plastics material. The structure (1) comprises an outer shell (14) and at least one internal web (15). The plurality of tubes (11, 12) are bonded together and comprise a plurality of inner tubes (12) located inside an outer tube (11) such that they form each of the outer shell (14) and the internal web (15) with a pair of laminated layers of fibre reinforced plastics material bonded to one another.

Abstract: A database system is operable to determine a query that includes a join expression for execution. A set of input rows are dispersed for processing via a plurality of parallelized join processes in conjunction with executing the join expression based on identifying a first proper subset of the set of input rows based on a null-handling strategy. First rows in the first proper subset are dispersed for processing across the plurality of parallelized join processes in accordance with the null-handling strategy. second rows in a set difference between the set of input rows and the first proper subset are dispersed across the plurality of parallelized join processes in accordance with a join key-based assignment strategy. The set of input rows are processed via the plurality of parallelized join processes.

Abstract: A control system and method for automatically adjusting the height of an external ventricular drain from a patient. The height of a pole supporting the bag into which the fluid is drained can be varied, increased or decreased, as driven by a motor. A drip chamber and collection bag that receive the fluid from the patient are attached to the height variable pole. An external fluid pressure tube is coupled to the patient at one end and to a pressure sensor at the other. The pressure sensor is coupled to the height variable pole. The system includes a feedback loop that adjusts the height of the external ventricular drain (EVD) to match the height of the patient's head. As the patient's head moves up or down, the variable height pole moves up and down a corresponding distance to maintain the patient's intracranial or intraspinal pressure, and therefore the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage rate, at a preset value.

Abstract: A fluid chamber for a shoe may be formed using pressure channels in a forming mold, eliminating the need to insert a nozzle or needles into the chamber for inflation. A fluid chamber so formed may have a smaller seal area than a chamber formed using an inflation needle, making the chamber more visually pleasing. Apparatus and methods for forming a fluid chamber in this fashion are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a lens function using supervised learning techniques are disclosed. The systems and methods described herein can utilize labeled training data having a first dimensionality to train a model comprising a plurality of layers. At least one of the layers of the model can be a bottleneck layer. After training the model with labeled training data, weight values can be extracted from the one or more neurons in the bottleneck layer. The weight values can be used to generate one or more lens functions for an unsupervised learning technique. The lens functions can accurately calculate segmentation information for unlabeled data having the first dimensionality, such that relevant information is preserved for unsupervised learning and irrelevant information is does not affect analysis after segmentation.
