20090019198 | Method and Apparatus for Effecting Database File Performance by Allowing Delayed Query Language Trigger Firing - Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for processing database triggers having delay attributes. In general, delay attributes may selectively introduce a delay between the firing of a trigger and the execution of the triggered action. The delay may be based on waiting for a specified time interval, waiting until a specified time, or reaching a predetermined threshold of a measure of system performance. The use of delay attributes may enable greater control over the timing of the execution of the triggered action, resulting in reduced impact on the performance of an underlying system. | 01-15-2009 |

20090187683 | ADAPTIVE LINK WIDTH CONTROL - A communications apparatus uses at least one logical communications link that comprises a plurality of lanes within a computerized hardware device. A data transfer monitor is connected to the logical communications link and measures the real-time data transfer bandwidth of the logical communications link. In addition, a link management unit or link width control unit (comparator) is connected to the lanes and to the data transfer monitor and continually compares the real-time data transfer bandwidth to a predetermined data transfer bandwidth standard.
