Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to facilitate exploratory data analytics for an enterprise. A storage area network, for a column-oriented relational database management system, may contain electronic records that store enterprise information. A query engine may receive, from a user via an interactive user interface, query parameters associated with the enterprise information. The query engine may then automatically generate an approximate query for exploratory data analytics using query-time sampling, the approximate query being associated with at least one of: (1) a stratified sampler with randomized row access, and (2) a hash-based, outlier aware join sampler. The approximate query may then be executed in connection with the enterprise information in the storage area network, and results of the executed approximate query may be provided to the user via the user interface.

The upper end portion and the lower end portion are respectively provided with an interface connected with a culture medium line, and the upper end portion and the intermediate portion, and the intermediate portion and the lower end portion are detachably connected in a sealed manner through a connecting mechanism; when the number of the intermediate portions is ?2, the adjacent intermediate portions are detachably connected in a sealed manner through a connecting mechanism; and the chamber also comprises a cell carrier for cell attachment growth.

Abstract: The technology relates to generating a wireless network access point model for determining locations within an area. In one example, a plurality of scan vectors, each scan vector representing a set of signal strengths for a set of wireless network access point identifiers and being associated with a location within the area at which a mobile device moving through the area measured the set of signal strengths are received. A set of clusters is generated by iterating through a split phase until the number of clusters in the set of clusters equals a maximum number of clusters or there are no bad scan vectors identified. A bad scan vector may include a vector having a vector difference from a center of a cluster to which that vector is assigned is less than a minimum similarity value. The set of cluster is then used to generate the model of the area.
