Abstract: Cloud-based systems and methods are provided for managing data uploaded from gateway devices at different sites. One method involves a platform service obtaining telemetry data from a gateway device, assigning a first subset of the telemetry data having first temporal characteristics to a first processing pipeline, and assigning a second subset of the telemetry data having second temporal characteristics to a second processing pipeline based at least in part on metadata associated with the telemetry data. The first processing pipeline is configurable to write the first subset of the telemetry data to a data storage element concurrent to the second processing pipeline writing the second subset of the telemetry data to the data storage element. The first and second subsets of the telemetry data are mutually exclusive, and the first temporal characteristics and the second temporal characteristics are different.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising—polycarbonate; -(meth)acrylic polymer; and-?1.0 and ?10.0 wt % polyalkylene glycol with regard to the total weight of the polymer composition. Such polymer composition can be produced by for example a conventional compounding process using melt extrusion, wherein polycarbonates and PMMA can be converted into a polymer composition having the desired properties without need for using dedicated process equipment.
