Abstract: A labelling apparatus for labelling a tray while the tray is conveyed by a conveyor means. A label feeder device is configured to place a label onto a top surface of the tray. A first tucker device is arranged sidewise to the conveyor means and includes an applicator block. A first moving mechanism is configured to move the applicator block in a back and forth direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the tray. The applicator block is movable from an initial position to a labelling position where the applicator block presses the portion of the label exceeding a side surface of the tray such that the applicator block follows the shape of the side surface of the tray via a rotational movement of the applicator block around the rotation axis.

Abstract: The present disclosure advantageously provides a system cache and a method for storing coherent data and non-coherent data in a system cache. A transaction is received from a source in a system, the transaction including at least a memory address, the source having a location in a coherent domain or a non-coherent domain of the system, the coherent domain including shareable data and the non-coherent domain including non-shareable data. Whether the memory address is stored in a cache line is determined, and, when the memory address is not determined to be stored in a cache line, a cache line is allocated to the transaction including setting a state bit of the allocated cache line based on the source location to indicate whether shareable or non-shareable data is stored in the allocated cache line, and the transaction is processed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamically switching between synchronous and asynchronous communication channels. A communication request can be received from an application, and a request identifier can be generated for the communication request. The communication request can be transmitted to an edge server application via a first communication channel. The first communication channel can be selected from a plurality of communication channels based at least in part on a policy. In an instance in which a condition specified by the policy is detected in the transmission of the communication request, a second communication channel can be selected from the plurality of communication channels. The communication request can be transmitted to the edge server application using the second communication channel.

Abstract: This patent specification relates to systems and methods that use networks of standardized time series and models in a generic and extensible platform. More particularly, this patent specification relates to standardizing time series and models, using standardized time series and models in a network of time series (NOTS), and creating networks of time series in a NOTS platform. In addition, this patent specification relates to use of nodes that can be arranged in any user defined order, and each node is evaluated to return a time array that may be used to populate a time series. A layering framework may be used to define how each node is evaluated.

Abstract: This document relates to electricity management using modulated waveforms. One example modulates electricity to obtain modulated electricity having at least two different alternating current frequencies including a first alternating current frequency and a second alternating current frequency. The example delivers the modulated electrical power having the at least two different alternating current frequencies to multiple different electrical devices, including a first electrical device configured to utilize the first alternating current frequency and a second electrical device configured to utilize the second alternating current frequency. The modulated electricity can be delivered at least partly over an electrical line shared by the first electrical device and the second electrical device.

Abstract: A fuel nozzle apparatus includes: an outer body having an exterior surface and a plurality of openings in the exterior surface. An inner body is disposed inside the outer body, cooperating with the outer body to define an annular space. A main injection ring is disposed in the annular space and includes an array of fuel posts extending outward therefrom, each fuel post including a perimeter wall defining a lateral surface and a recessed floor. Each fuel post is aligned with one of the openings and separated from the opening by a perimeter gap defined between the opening and the lateral surface. A main fuel gallery extends within the main injection ring. The main injection ring includes plurality of main fuel orifices, each main fuel orifice communicating with the main fuel gallery and extending through one of the fuel posts.

Abstract: There is provided an interconnect for transferring requests between ports in which the ports include both source ports destination ports. The interconnect includes storage circuitry for storing the requests. Input circuitry receives the requests from the plurality of source ports, selects at least one selected source port from an allowed set of said plurality of source ports, and transfers a presented request from the at least one selected source port to the storage circuitry. Output circuitry causes a request in said storage circuitry to be output at one of said plurality of destination ports. Counter circuitry maintains counter values for a plurality of tracked ports from amongst said ports, each counter value indicating the number of requests in said storage circuitry associated with a corresponding tracked port that are waiting to be output by said output circuitry and filter circuitry determines whether or not a given source port is in said allowed set in dependence on said counter circuitry.

Abstract: Technology is described for mapping virtualized infrastructure resources and associated flows in a virtualized infrastructure of a service provider environment. An application dataflow involving a virtualized infrastructure resource may be described using a swim lane model. Controls within the virtualized infrastructure to enforce segmentation and security of the application dataflow may be deduced from how the application dataflow is secured into a corresponding swim lane. An infrastructure mapping service may use information that identifies virtualized infrastructure resources and describes application dataflows in the virtualized infrastructure to generate a map of the virtualized infrastructure in the form of a graph. The graph may provide a visual representation that is easy for an auditor or engineer to understand.

Abstract: Waste heat generated by devices as a byproduct of their operation is utilized to increase and maintain the temperature of non-potable water to neutralize biological contaminants, thereby rendering such water potable. The potable water can then be utilized for evaporative cooling of the devices. A temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the non-potable water and a controller controls the pump to provide sufficient time for the water to remain in the heat exchanger above a predetermined temperature to neutralize biological contaminants and render such water potable. To the extent that different devices generate different quantities and intensities of waste heat, multiple heat exchangers are utilized, with lower intensity waste heat serving to preheat the water and, thereby, reduce the amount of time needed to reach the target temperature in a primary heat exchanger. Waste heat not utilized to generate potable water can be utilized for other heat-driven processes.
