Abstract: A distributed database system for handling transactions from multiple client systems. A database node receives a request to execute a transaction from a first client, involving a record modification. This record has an associated check-and-set (CAS) value that changes with modifications. The record is sent to the first client, which identifies the CAS value. Similarly, a second client sends a request for another transaction, receives the record, and identifies the CAS value. One of these clients attempts to stage a mutation based on their transaction. This includes sending the previously received CAS value. The system checks for a CAS value mismatch, indicating a conflicting mutation from another transaction. If a mismatch is detected, the transaction attempt is aborted to prevent conflicts. Otherwise, the mutation is staged, and the CAS value is updated.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for additively manufacturing an object. The system may include a support, and a print head operatively connected to and moveable by the support. The print head may include a first module configured to discharge a material, a second module configured to compact the material, and an actuator connected to the second module and configured to apply a force to the second module. The system may further include a controller in communication with the actuator. The controller may be configured to determine an operating parameter of the print head, and to selectively adjust the force applied by the actuator to the second module based on the operating parameter.

Abstract: A parking meter detects an object in proximity, based on a change in a proximity measurement at the meter, activates a directional sensor in response to detecting the object, receives sensor data at a meter processor from the directional sensor, wherein the received sensor data indicates a predetermined direction to the detected object relative to the meter. The parking meter determines a presence of the object, or lack thereof, in the predetermined direction based on the sensor data, and upon a positive determination of the presence of the object, stores an indication of the presence of the object along with a time of the positive determination.

The axial acoustic signal is captured using an axial sensor deployed in a structure in a subterranean surface. The axial acoustic signal is separated into a first wave region and a second wave region by applying velocity filtering. An axial symmetry of a portion of the structure is determined based on at least one of the first wave region or the second wave region.
