  • Publication number: 20210149898
    Abstract: Data transformation and access generation for data sets is provided herein. Access generation for a data set can include generating one or more new access modes for the data set. An access mode can include a transformed data set and one or more search definitions or a search model for the transformed data set. Transforming the data set can include transforming a linear data set to a relational data set by determining structural information for the linear data, generating a relational schema based on the structural information, and loading data from the linear data set into the generated relational data structure. Transforming the data set can include sanitizing the data, restructuring the relational data set based on functional dependencies, and reformatting the data set. One or more search definitions can be generated for the relational data. A search model can be generated based on the search definitions.

  • Publication number: 20210133191
    Abstract: Crux detection in search definition sets is provided herein. Crux detection can include generating a hierarchical representation of a search definition set. The hierarchical representation can be reduced by removing search definitions unrelated to a target search definition. The search definitions in the reduced hierarchical representation can be focused by removing inapplicable elements or operations in the search definitions. Focusing the search definitions in the reduced hierarchical representation can include removing context-irrelevant elements and/or removing search-definition-irrelevant elements. The focused reduced hierarchical representation can be analyzed to identify implementation cruxes in the search definitions. Cruxes can include performance-impacting elements of the search definitions. The cruxes can be tagged and provided for redevelopment or analysis.

  • Patent number: 10967843
    Abstract: A control valve for applying a spring-loaded brake pressure to spring-loaded parts of a rear-axle wheel brake is pneumatically activated as a function of a parking-brake braking demand and a service-brake braking demand. A first control chamber is connected via a first control piston to a control arrangement in the control valve. During an adjustment of the first control chamber via the service-brake control pressure, the spring-loaded brake pressure at the working output is a function of the service-brake control pressure or of the parking-brake control pressure. The first control piston is connected to a third control chamber, wherein the pressure in the first control chamber acts on the first control piston in one direction, and the pressure in the third control chamber acts on the first control piston in the opposite direction. The first control chamber is selectively connectable to the third control chamber via a switchable bypass valve.
