20100005124 | AUTOMATED METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING AND REPAIRING LOGICAL DATA DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN DATABASE REPLICAS IN A DATABASE CLUSTER - A method and system for monitoring and maintaining the consistency of replicated databases in a shared-nothing database cluster architecture is presented. The method involves the continuous monitoring of the database transaction logs that are maintained by the autonomous database managers that manage the individual database replicas in the cluster. In the event that data discrepancies are detected via the comparison of the transaction logs of the individual database replicas, remedial action is carried out according to configured rules in the main cluster controller. These remedial actions may include, but are not limited to, making a database node inactive within the cluster, or automatically repairing any data discrepancies that are detected among the database replicas in the cluster. Additionally, if the database management system running within each node of the cluster possesses a database history file that records key events pertaining to a database replica, such as the occurrence of non-logged bulk loads of table data, or the modification of tables, a method can be instituted for the monitoring of the history files for discrepancies between the database replicas. Finally, an enhanced relational database management system is described that: (a) tags each data change record in the transaction log for a given managed database with a unique transaction identifier that is associated with the transaction request that initiated the data change; and, (b) tags each data change record in the transaction log for a given managed database with a client identifier that identifies the client that submitted the transaction request that initiated the data change. The enhanced relational database management system also includes an extended client interface that makes the unique transaction identifier for each transaction request available to the client application that submitted the transaction request. | 01-07-2010 |
20120109906 | METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING LOGICAL DATA DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN DATABASE REPLICAS IN A DATABASE CLUSTER USING ENHANCED TRANSACTION LOGGING - A method and system for monitoring and maintaining the consistency of replicated databases in a shared-nothing database cluster architecture is presented. In order to improve the ability of the system to maintain data consistency between the various database replicas in the cluster, an enhanced relational database management system is described that: (a) tags each data change record in the transaction log for a given managed database with a unique transaction identifier that is associated with the transaction request that initiated the data change; and, (b) tags each data change record in the transaction log for a given managed database with a client identifier that identifies the client that submitted the transaction request that initiated the data change.

20090150874 | BINARY PROGRAMMABLE METHOD FOR APPLICATION PERFORMANCE DATA COLLECTION - A method for application performance data collection includes steps or acts of: customizing a performance tool for collecting application performance data of an application; modifying the application by inserting the performance tool while the application does not need to be rebuilt from the source; executing the application; and collecting the application execution performance data such that only interesting data is collected. Customizing the performance tool proceeds by implementing at least one configurable tracing function that can be programmed by the user; compiling the function(s) into an object file; and inserting the object file into the performance tool using binary instrumentation. | 06-11-2009 |

20120015534 | Portable Storage Device With Retractable Connector - A thumb drive includes a retractable USB connector sized to translate between an extended position beyond a housing and a retracted position into the housing. An actuator, such as a dial or a lever, is sized to actuate the USB connector to move the USB connector between the extended position and the retracted position. The USB connector is sized to translate to the extended position when the actuator is moved in one direction. The USB connector is sized to translate to the retracted position when the actuator is moved in an opposite direction. | 01-19-2012 |

20100141191 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING A COMMUTATION STATE FOR A BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR - A system for determining a commutation state for a brushless DC motor includes flyback detection circuitry that detects a flyback condition for each of a plurality of motor commutation states for the multiphase motor. The flyback detection circuitry provides a detection signal indicative of the detected flyback condition for each of a plurality of motor commutation states for the substantially stationary multiphase motor. A timer provides a time value based on the detection signal, the time value indicating a duration for the flyback condition for each respective motor commutation state. Logic is determines the commutation state for the multiphase motor based on the time value for each of the plurality of motor commutation states. | 06-10-2010 |
