  • Patent number: 11494369
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for retrying a query. A method includes receiving a query directed to database data and assigning execution of the query to one or more execution nodes of an execution platform, the one or more execution nodes configured to execute the query on a first version of a database platform. The method includes determining that execution of the query was unsuccessful. The method includes assigning a first retry execution of the query to the one or more execution nodes of the execution platform and determining whether a regression or an intermittent fault caused the execution of the query to be unsuccessful based at least in part on whether the first retry execution of the query was successful or unsuccessful.

  • Patent number: 11471039
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for obtaining high-resolution 3-D images of a sample over a range of wavelengths, optionally with polarisation-sensitive detection. In preferred embodiments a spectral domain OCT apparatus is used to sample the complex field of light reflected or scattered from a sample, providing full range imaging. In certain embodiments structured illumination is utilised to provide enhanced lateral resolution. In certain embodiments the resolution or depth of field of images is enhanced by digital refocusing or digital correction of aberrations in the sample. Individual sample volumes are imaged using single shot techniques, and larger volumes can be imaged by stitching together images of adjacent volumes.

  • Publication number: 20220327040
    Abstract: Techniques for automated query retry in a database platform include decoding, by at least one hardware processor, a query directed to database data from a client account of a database platform. The method further includes decoding, by the at least one hardware processor, an indication that execution of the query on at least one computing node of the database platform results in a failed execution. The method further includes configuring a processing loop with continuous retry executions of the query on the at least one computing node based on the indication. The method further includes exiting the processing loop based on detecting a retry execution of the continuous retry executions results in at least one successful execution of the query. The method includes logging each attempt to execute the query during the continuous retry executions in a query status log until the at least one successful execution of the query.

  • Patent number: 11433329
    Abstract: A method for simultaneous filtration and non-discharge backwash operation of a pool filter. Water is received from a pool of water and passed to a control valve having a backwash nozzle aligned with a first filtration chamber. The water is forced down through all of the filtration chambers except the first filtration chamber and forced up through the first filtration chamber. The backwash nozzle is aligned with a second filtration chamber. The water is forced down through all of the filtration chambers except the second filtration chamber and forced up through the second filtration chamber. The water is passed through the backwash nozzle and an internal backwash valve to a sedimentation collection and separation system, where sediment is settled out of the water and the water is filtered through a final filtration media within the final filtration chamber. The water is returned to the pool of water.

  • Publication number: 20220269573
    Abstract: Techniques for automated query retry in a database platform include assigning by at least one hardware processor a first execution of a query directed to database data to a first execution node of a plurality of execution nodes of an execution platform. The first execution node uses a first set of configurations during the first execution. The techniques further include determining that the first execution of the query by the first execution node results in a failed execution. The query is transferred to a second execution node of the plurality of execution nodes. A second execution of the query at the second execution node is caused. The second execution node uses a second set of configurations during the second execution. A cause of the failed execution at the first execution node is determined based on a result of the second execution of the query at the second execution node.
