20080298965 | Wind Drum - The Wind Drum is a cylinder shaped wind utilization machine primarily used for electricity generation. Instead of a solid wall attaching the top and bottom circular plates are eight rods spaced equally around the circumference of the top and bottom circular plates.

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 |
