Abstract: A method and apparatus for an indoor horticultural system that utilizes a wired network to control lighting. The wired interface is used to relay both analog and digital intensity control information, whereby an analog signal is used to control the intensity of all LED arrays in each lighting fixture during a first mode of operation and a digital signal is used to control the intensity of each individual LED array in each lighting fixture in a second mode of operation. Both the analog and digital signals utilize the same physical interface.

Abstract: A data-driven, unsupervised system (“owner inference module”) has been created that collects information from different data sources and infers ownership of an asset by discerning signals conveying ownership and using them to identify likely owners of assets. The owner inference module creates a graph of direct and indirect relationships among the asset and entities based on the collected information (i.e., the data and metadata). The owner inference module processes the graph and accounts for the varying strengths of different ownership signals based on any one or more of observations, expert knowledge, and preferences. The owner inference module quantifies the different signals of ownership of an entity and aggregates these values into an ownership likelihood score.

Abstract: A system and method for performing real-time conversion of data which is present in the form of messages on JMS-compliant or other messaging systems into database transactions; which can then subsequently be applied to multiple heterogeneous databases or other systems. In accordance with an embodiment, the invention provides a means by which data can be read from messages in a messaging system, and converted to a set of database operations that are then stored as a persistent trail file. The operations can then be routed via a network and applied to target systems as required, for example to maintain a replicated set of information at one or more different or heterogeneous systems. The data in the message can be formatted in a variety of ways, for example, as fixed width, delimited, or XML data, and the system can be configured to convert this data as appropriate.

In accordance with an embodiment, the invention provides a means by which data can be read from messages, and converted to a set of database operations that are then stored as a persistent trail file (for example, as an Oracle GoldenGate trail file). The operations, as recorded in the trail file, can then be routed via a network and applied to target systems as required. In accordance with an embodiment, the data can be read in real-time from the messaging system, and written out as quickly as it can be consumed to the persistent trail files.
