20100318481 | Generating Test Data - Generating test data includes: reading values occurring in at least one field of multiple records from a data source; storing profile information including statistics characterizing the values; generating a model of a probability distribution for the field based on the statistics; generating multiple test data values using the generated model such that a frequency at which a given value occurs in the test data values corresponds to a probability assigned to that given value by the model; and storing a collection of test data including the test data values in a data storage system. | 12-16-2010 |
20120215992 | Sorting - Systems and techniques are disclosed that include in one aspect a computer implemented method storing a received stream of data elements in a buffer, applying a boundary condition to the data elements stored in the buffer after receiving each individual data element of the stream of data elements, and producing one or more data elements from the buffer based on the boundary condition as an output stream of data elements sorted according to a predetermined order. | 08-23-2012 |
20120215997 | MANAGING BUFFER CONDITIONS - Systems and techniques include, in some implementations, a computer implemented method storing a portion of data elements present in a first buffer in a second buffer in response to detecting an overflow condition of the first buffer, wherein the data elements in the first buffer are sorted according to a predetermined order, and inserting a proxy data element in the first buffer to represent the portion of data elements stored to the second buffer. | 08-23-2012 |
20130297904 | MANAGING BUFFER CONDITIONS THROUGH SORTING - Systems and techniques include, in some implementations, a computer implemented method storing a portion of data elements present in a first buffer in a second buffer in response to detecting an overflow condition of the first buffer, wherein the data elements in the first buffer are sorted according to a predetermined order, and inserting a proxy data element in the first buffer to represent the portion of data elements stored to the second buffer. | 11-07-2013 |
20150106341 | DATA PROFILING - Processing data includes profiling data from a data source, including reading the data from the data source, computing summary data characterizing the data while reading the data, and storing profile information that is based on the summary data. The data is then processed from the data source. This processing includes accessing the stored profile information and processing the data according to the accessed profile information. | 04-16-2015 |

20110179992 | CRYSTAL GROWTH METHODS AND SYSTEMS - Methods and systems related to an improved controlled heat extraction system for crystal growth, such as sapphire crystal growth are described, including methods and systems for mechanical probe-based and pyrometer-based inspection and automation processes, methods and systems for avoiding fusion of components, methods and systems for purging an inspection window, and methods and systems related to alternative crucible shapes. | 07-28-2011 |
20110253033 | CRYSTAL GROWING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF - Provided is a system and method for growing crystals. The method includes substantially fully covering a seed crystal in a charge material, using a heat source to melt the charge material, cooling the seed crystal to keep the seed crystal at least partially intact as the charge material melts, allowing at least a portion of the seed crystal to melt into the molten charge material, and continually growing the crystal by reducing the temperature of the heat source, moving the molten charge material and seed crystal from the heat source, and increasing a rate of cooling of the seed crystal. | 10-20-2011 |
20120055396 | INTERMEDIATE MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS - A system and method for growing crystals is described. The system includes a crucible, a shaft adapted to support the crucible, and an intermediate material between the crucible and the shaft having a coating directly applied to contact surfaces of the crucible and the shaft. The coating includes a compound, such as, a carbide, nitride, oxide, or boride. The method for growing a crystal includes providing an intermediate material between contact surfaces between a shaft and a crucible supported by the shaft prior to melting a charge material in the crucible. | 03-08-2012 |
