Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a method for optimizing workflow execution. The method may include receiving an event notification at a service controller, wherein the event notification is associated with a workflow deployed in a device ecosystem; performing, based on receiving the event notification, a workflow reconfiguration action comprising: providing a first workflow portion to a first platform controller in a first domain in the device ecosystem; transmitting a workflow reconfiguration action notification to a second platform controller in a second domain of the device ecosystem; identifying, by the second platform controller and in response to receiving the workflow reconfiguration action notification, a data transfer optimization action associated with data to be transmitted from the second domain to the first domain and used during execution of the first workflow portion; and transmitting the data from the second domain to the first domain using the data transfer optimization action.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a method for provisioning workflows with data transformation services. The method may include receiving, by a platform controller associated with a first domain, workflow information associated with a portion of a workflow to be deployed in a device ecosystem, where the portion of the workflow includes a first subportion of the workflow; identifying an output intent associated with data of the first subportion of the workflow; making a first determination that the output intent is associated with a data transformation of the data; making a second determination that the first domain is able to perform the data transformation; and establishing data transformation services using resources of the first domain; and initiating performance of the first subportion of the workflow, where executing the first subportion of the workflow includes executing the data transformation services.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a method for deploying workflows. The method may include receiving, at a service controller of a federated controller, a request to deploy a workflow in a device ecosystem; decomposing, by the service controller, the workflow into a plurality of workflow portions; performing, by the service controller, a search in a capabilities and constraints data construct to identify a domain in which to perform a workflow portion of the plurality of workflow portions; providing the workflow portion and workflow constraints to a platform controller in the domain; performing, by the platform controller, a subgraph similarity check to determine that a previously executed workflow portion was successfully executed on a subgraph in the domain; provisioning, by the platform controller, a set of devices in the domain based on the subgraph; and executing the workflow portion in the domain.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a method for deploying workflows. The method may include receiving, by a platform controller of a domain, a workflow portion and workflow constraints from a service controller of a federated controller, provisioning, by the platform controller, a set of devices in the domain to the workflow portion, executing the workflow portion in the domain using the set of devices, monitoring the executing of the workflow portion to determine an occupancy of the workflow portion, making a determination that the occupancy of the workflow portion exceeds an available capacity of the domain, providing, based on the determination, the occupancy to the service controller, and in response to the occupancy, performing, by the service controller, a remediation action.

Abstract: A vehicle brake cooling system is provided. The vehicle brake cooling system is configured to actively cool brake elements affecting one or more wheels of the vehicle during the periods of vigorous or prolonged application of a vehicle's brakes to prevent overheating. The system is filled with a suitable coolant fluid which is pressurized to flow through a nozzle or a system of nozzles onto a brake element during active braking, cooling the brake element. Manual or automatic operation is disclosed, including use of temperature or pressure sensors. A method of use of a vehicle brake cooling system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A mixing apparatus has a shaft, at least one arm radiating outwardly of the shaft, and a mixing element affixed to the arm away from the shaft. The mixing element has a generally frustoconical member with a wide opening at an end thereof and a narrow opening at an opposite end thereof. The mixing element also includes a throat section of a generally constant diameter connected to the narrow opening of the frustoconical member and a diffuser section having an end affixed to an end of the throat section opposite the frustoconical member. The mixing elements have a longitudinal axis extending at an acute angle to horizontal. A motor is cooperative with the shaft so as to rotate the shaft. Each of the mixing elements includes a Venturi.

Abstract: A nozzle for use with a diffuser has a body with a fluid passageway extending through an interior thereof and having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The body has an end surface formed at the fluid outlet. The body has an orifice formed through the end surface so as to communicate with the fluid passageway. The orifice has a first elliptical portion and a second elliptical portion. The elliptical portions are conjoined so as to communicate therebetween. The elliptical portions have major axes of equal length and minor axes of equal length. The nozzle is placed toward a mixing chamber of a jet pump.
