A self-propelled wrapping machine movable around a load, for wrapping the load with a film of plastic material, includes a self-propelled carriage with a guide, a column fixed to the carriage and slidably supporting an unwinding unit of the film, a sensor to detect surfaces and/or external edges of the load in their total extension and along a detection direction and process related signals. The wrapping machine also includes a control unit to receive the signals from the sensor, calculate a peripheral outline of plan maximum overall dimension of the load based on the surfaces and/or external edges detected by the sensor, and process a wrapping path of the wrapping machine around the load based on the peripheral outline so as to avoid collisions with the load. The control unit controls the guide to guide the wrapping machine along the wrapping path.

Digital decoupling

This document described digital decoupling architectures that enable existing computing systems to run in parallel with new computing technologies. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, by a digital decoupling system and from a source computing system, one or more updated data sets that each include data that has been updated at the source computing system. A source data entry of a source table of a database of the digital decoupling system is updated based on each updated data set. In response to detecting the change to the source table, a target data entry that includes data of the updated source data entry is added to a target table of the database. An adapter module obtains the data of the target data entry and generates an event that specifies the data of the target data entry. The event is sent to one or more destination computing elements.

Index and storage management for multi-tiered databases
11494359 · 2022-11-08 · ·

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing index and storage management for multi-tiered databases. An embodiment operates by receiving a request to create an index on a multi-tiered database including both an in-memory store and a disk store. A multi-store table associated with the index is determined, wherein the multi-store table includes both a first set of data stored on the memory store and a second set of data stored on the disk store. Either the first set of data or the second set of data on which to create the index is selected based on the request. The index for the selected set of data of the multi-store table is generated. The index is stored on either the disk store or the memory store as corresponding to the selected set of data for which the index was generated.

System and method for artificial intelligence based data integration of entities post market consolidation

This disclosure relates generally to data integration, and more specifically to artificial intelligence based data integration of entities post market consolidation. The method includes extracting, using one or more text mining models, metadata associated with at least one category of each of the participating entities of the deal, from data sources associated with the entities. The disclosed system dynamically configures an assessment for the at least one category based on the metadata by using a set of Natural Language Processing (NLP) rules. The assessment includes parameters associated with the data integration of the entities. Response to the assessment is obtained from users belonging to the entities. An artificial intelligence (AI) based processing model assigns a similarity score to the responses, where the similarity score is indicative of extent of match between distinct responses obtained from the entities. A recommendation engine recommends a data integration model based on the similarity score.
