Abstract: A transaction request compliant with a first version of a journal schema of a multi-data-store storage system is received at a journal manager. The journal schema indicates attributes of data objects which may be materialized at various data stores of the system. The journal manager stores an entry in the system's journal if the transaction meets acceptance criteria. Writes indicated in the entry are materialized at the data stores after verifying that the entry is compliant with the journal schema. After verifying that member data stores have approved a proposed change to the journal schema, another entry indicating a different version of the journal schema is added to the journal. Client-side components of the system obtain the current version of the journal schema to prepare the transaction requests.

Abstract: A fibrous propagation medium includes a volume of refined, acidic wood and/or bark fiber having about 2.3-5.0 vol. % of a particle size of 2.36-4.74 mm (sieve #8), based on the total volume of the wood fiber, moisture content of about 16-28 wt. %, and water holding capacity of about 50-95%, according to the NCSU Promoter Analysis.

Abstract: A journaled database system may comprise data nodes that maintain a collection of data structured in accordance with a schema. A change to the schema may be applied by a journal module while a journal consumer continues to operate using a prior version of the schema. A buffer may be formed and have stored therein records describing state change instructions according to the prior view of the schema. An index of correspondence between the records in the buffer and in the source journal may be maintained.

Abstract: A materialization configuration request is received via a programmatic interface from a client of a journal-based multi-data-store database. The request indicates a partitioning rule to be used to select, for respective writes indicated in committed transaction entries of a journal, the materialization node at which the writes are to be stored. A control plane component of the database verifies that a set of materialization nodes corresponding to the partitioning rule has been established, and initiates the propagation of writes from the journal to the materialization nodes by respective write appliers.

Abstract: A tool configured for use to assemble and install trim into a steam conditioning valve. These configurations can include a device that mounts in place of a bonnet and an actuator that technicians remove from the valve. The device can cantilever the trim assembly, essentially providing a platform on which technicians can slide the trim assembly into the valve body (or out of the valve body) to complete install or repair of the device. As an added benefit, technicians can also use the device to assemble the trim in proximity to the subject valve.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying instances of vulnerabilities on a computing network and generating a graph representing pathways that an attacking entity may take with respect to accessing one or more sensitive assets. For example, one or more systems disclosed herein collect network information and vulnerability information to generate a graph including nodes and edges representing at least a portion of the computing network associated with different vulnerabilities. The systems described herein may use graph theory to generate or otherwise identify pathways that an attacker is likely to use in accessing the sensitive asset(s). The systems additionally may further evaluate the pathways and associated likelihoods/risks to intelligently select one or more action items associated with a reduction of risk to the networking system.

Abstract: Documents may be maintained in a repository and retrieved based on searches that specify labels as criteria. Documents may be associated with groups of labels identified as topics. Searches may be performed using binary-encoded matrices specifying relationships between documents and topics, topics and labels and differential information indicating differences between topics and labels associated with documents. An initial result estimate may be based on forming a product of a documents-topics matrix and a topics-labels matrix. The initial estimate may be corrected by applying the differential information.

Abstract: To provide a hierarchical visual paradigm while maintaining the communication advantages of sibling extensions, a visual hierarchy simulation extension generates and maintains placeholders in a visually hierarchical manner, with the visual positioning of such placeholders informing the visual positioning of overlays of frames hosting the visual output of sibling extensions. Such a visual hierarchy simulation extension is utilized to layout and establish a desired visual hierarchy. One or more modules of computer-executable instructions are invoked to provide the relevant functionality, including the obtaining of the visual positioning of placeholders, the relevant visual translation between the visual positioning of placeholders and the visual overlaying of corresponding frames, the generation and movement of the corresponding frames, and the instantiation of extension content within the corresponding frames. The visual hierarchy simulation extension is hosted independently from the one or more modules.

Abstract: A transaction request compliant with a first version of a journal schema of a multi-data-store storage system is received at a journal manager. The journal schema indicates attributes of data objects which may be materialized at various data stores of the system. The journal manager stores an entry in the system's journal if the transaction meets acceptance criteria. Writes indicated in the entry are materialized at the data stores after verifying that the entry is compliant with the journal schema. After verifying that member data stores have approved a proposed change to the journal schema, another entry indicating a different version of the journal schema is added to the journal. Client-side components of the system obtain the current version of the journal schema to prepare the transaction requests.

Abstract: A query restriction descriptor indicating one or more attributes of a data object of a multi-data-store storage system is determined at a client-side component of the system. The query restrictions descriptor is used to prepare at least a read set descriptor of a proposed transaction. The read set of the proposed transaction includes a query with a predicate directed to the one or more attributes. A transformation function is applied to the predicate, and the result of the transformation is included in the read set descriptor. The proposed transaction is sent to a journal manager of the system, which performs read-write conflict detection using the read set descriptor and write set descriptors of one or more previously-committed transactions.

Abstract: A system for managing data for diverse legal projects. The system comprises a project creation user interface that is configured to receive data defining a legal project by a legal discipline and a project type. The system includes a data lake that is configured to store unstructured data and structured data. The structured data is in the form of relational tables that are specifically configured for a respective one of a plurality of legal disciplines and project types. A new relational table is instantiated upon creation of the legal project in the project creation user interface. The relational table is configured specifically for the legal project based on the legal discipline and the project type. The unstructured data is in a form of documents associated with the legal project.
