Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for proving feedback on database instructions, identifying, for example, existing patterns and providing suggested replacement instructions. This may have the effect of improving the efficiency of instructions used to create and/or manipulate databases. According to some aspects, these and other benefits may be achieved by parsing received instructions into an organizational structure, traversing the organizational structure for known patterns, and suggesting replacement patterns. In implementation, this may be effected by receiving one or more sets of known patterns and corresponding replacement patterns, parsing received instructions, comparing the known patterns with the parsed instructions, and providing suggested replacement patterns based on one or more known patterns matching the parsed instructions. A benefit of may include reducing Cartesian products during the merging of tables.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile device (AMD) includes an active braking circuit able to quickly stop the movement of the AMD. For example, the device may stop to avoid an obstacle, upon determining a failure of an internal component, upon receipt of a command, and so forth. Responsive to a signal to stop, an active braking circuit uses sensor data from a driving motor moving with a first rotation to actively commutate that motor to an opposite rotation, bringing the AMD quickly to a stop. In some implementations, the active braking circuit may include an independent power source and motor drivers and operate as a backup to a primary braking system.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for managing transactions between data consumers and data providers using a blockchain. In some embodiments, a blockchain network receive smart contracts that govern access rights to data sets provided by blockchain members and smart contracts that execute blockchain transactions based on the usage of data sets. When a data set is provided to a blockchain member through the blockchain network, usage of the data set may be tracked. Responsive to detecting usage of the data set, one or more smart contracts may execute one or more blockchain transactions within the blockchain network.

Abstract: An electronic device with a flexible display subassembly is provided. The display stack may use two layers of adhesives having different elastic properties to improve mechanical impact resistance, with a first adhesive layer made of a viscoelastic material and a second adhesive layer having a low modulus of elasticity. The display stack may also include a hot melt protective sheet (HMPS) covering the display subassembly. The HMPS may be wrapped around the two side edges of a rigid substrate to attach directly to the substrate, thereby aiding in the adhesion of the display stack to the substrate. The display stack may also includes a patterned back protective sheet in which the protective backing layer is removed along the curved portions of the display stack.

Abstract: Direct steam injection (DSI) heating techniques can use a heater to heat a process stream in bitumen froth treatment. The DSI heater can include a diffuser with multiple side-by-side rows of outlets perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the diffuser, and a piston plug that moves axially within the diffuser to selectively cover rows of outlets to vary steam injection. The piston plug has first and second annular seals and is moved between different axial positions in a stepwise fashion such that when one or more rows of outlets are completely covered, the first annular seal is located in between adjacent rows and the second annular seal abuts against the diffuser to inhibit passage of steam so as to prevent cavitation. The DSI heater can include various other features, such as particular seal unit constructions and diffuser outlet configurations.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for a configuration-monitoring service of a service provider network to provide users with the ability to access to configuration data across multiple accounts using a single account or other centralized access point. The configuration-monitoring service may allow users with multiple accounts registered with the service provider network to designate a central account (or “aggregator account”) through which the users can access and review configuration data across multiple accounts (or “source accounts”) and/or multiple regions (or “source regions”). After determining an aggregator account, the configuration-monitoring service may begin collecting configuration data from the source accounts and/or source regions, and transporting the configuration data to the aggregator region to be accessed using the aggregator account.

Abstract: A processor configured to reduce the amount of time necessary for a mobile device to resume from a hibernation state is described. While in the hibernation state, power to all components of a mobile, except a motion sensor, may be powered off. The processor, upon receiving a signal from a wakeup sensor, causes the mobile device to initiate a transition from the hibernation mode to an awake mode. A validation sensor on the mobile device detects a user contact with the mobile device or user proximity with respect to the mobile device. Upon receiving a validation signal confirming validation of the transition from the hibernation state to the awake state, the processor resumes the transition to the awake mode. In the awake mode the mobile device may detect user input indicative of activating the mobile device. Upon receiving a signal indicating user input to activate the device, the processor may cause the device to become fully active, and ready for user interaction.
