20090292729Method and Apparatus for Maintaining and Processing Provenance Data in Data Stream Processing System - Techniques are disclosed for maintaining and processing provenance data in such data stream processing systems. For example, a method for processing data associated with a data stream received by a data stream processing system, wherein the system comprises a plurality of processing elements, comprising the following steps. A portion of data associated with the data stream is maintained. The maintained data comprises inputs to each processing element that contributed to an output of each processing element. In response to an alert generated by one of the processing elements, a scheduler is triggered to determine when a pre-calculation of a prospective query related to the alert should be executed. In response to the scheduler, at least a portion of the maintained data is used to determine a set of data that contributed to the alert such that the alert-contributing set of data can be used to respond to the prospective query upon arrival thereof.11-26-2009
20090292818Method and Apparatus for Determining and Validating Provenance Data in Data Stream Processing System - Techniques are disclosed for determining and validating provenance data in such data stream processing systems. For example, a method for processing data associated with a data stream received by a data stream processing system, wherein the system comprises a plurality of processing elements, comprises the following steps. Input data elements and output data elements associated with at least one processing element of the plurality of processing elements are obtained. One or more intervals are computed for the processing element using data representing observations of associations between inputs elements and output elements of the processing element, wherein, for a given one of the intervals, one or more particular input elements contained within the given interval are determined to have contributed to a particular output element. In another method, intervals are specified, and then validated by comparing the specified intervals against intervals computed based on observations.11-26-2009

20080307104Methods and Apparatus for Functional Model-Based Data Provenance in Stream Processing Environments - Techniques for deriving a provenance of one or more of a plurality of output data elements generated from a given output port of a PC are provided. At least one dependency function is created that relates the one or more output data elements to a set of one or more input ports of the PC and a corresponding plurality of input data elements. The dependency function comprises an encoding of at least one of one or more temporal filters and one or more sequence filters relating to the plurality of input data elements. The at least one dependency function is stored. A history of stream-level bindings of one or more input streams to one or more input ports of the processing component and one or more output streams from one or more output ports of the processing component is stored. The plurality of input data elements belonging to the one or more input streams and the plurality of output data elements belonging to the one or more output streams are stored. The set of one or more input data elements from the plurality of input data elements are determined that relate to the one or more output data elements in accordance with at least one dependency function and the history of stream-level bindings.12-11-2008

20100025192LIFTING ARM SYSTEM FOR CONVEYOR - The lifting system includes a lifting portion and a hinging portion for lifting a conveyor The lifting portion is fixed to a structure and extends from the structure to mate with the conveyor at a lifting point. The lifting portion moves the conveyor vertically upward and downward at the lifting point with no horizontal movement at the lifting point. The hinging portion is pivotally connected to the conveyor at a conveyor pivot and extends from the conveyor to engage the structure. The hinging portion is further pivotally connected to the structure to allow for controlled movement in an arced path at the conveyor pivot of the conveyor. The controlled movement of the conveyor along the arced path at the conveyor pivot varies the angular position of the conveyor and maintains the position of the conveyor over the transportable container as the lifting portion moves the conveyor vertically at the lifting point.02-04-2010
