20150199325 | Dropping Columns from a Table with Minimized Unavailability - Dropping of columns from a table with data availability, where the columns in the table are each associated with a column number, includes: executing a statement to drop a given column in the table and deferring an application of the statement until a reorganization of a current data set including the table. When the reorganization of the current data set is performed, the reorganization includes: updating column numbers for columns in each row of the table using a mapping data structure to remove the given column; loading the plurality of data rows with the updated column numbers into a shadow data set; applying to the shadow data set any changes to the table that are concurrent with the reorganization; updating a schema definition of the table with the updated column numbers; and switching the current data set to the shadow data set. | 07-16-2015 |

20150286532 | POINT IN TIME RECOVERY SUPPORT FOR PENDING SCHEMA DEFINITION CHANGES - Recovering data to a point in time before pending definition changes are materialized in a relational database management system. One or more definition changes to a database schema are received. Original data base schema attributes are saved and maintained as point in time metadata in a catalog table until the one or more definition changes have been materialized. During recovery processing, it is determined for each object being recovered whether the object is being recovered to a point in time prior to which the one or more definition changes were materialized. In response to determining that an object is being recovered to a point in time prior to which the one or more definition changes were materialized, the saved point in time metadata is used for the object in the recovery process. | 10-08-2015 |

20120025660 | MULTIPLE CONDUCTOR WINDING IN STATOR - An electric machine includes a stator disposed about an axis in register with the rotor. The stator has a plurality of slots parallel to the axis. A plurality of windings with generally rectangular cross sections is provided with each winding having a first portion disposed radially inward of a second portion relative to the axis. At least two of the plurality of windings are at least partially inserted into each of the plurality of slots. The plurality of generally rectangular windings in each of the plurality of slots is configured to reduce resistive loss within the stator. | 02-02-2012 |
20120190250 | HIGH ALTITUDE, HIGH VOLTAGE TERMINAL BLOCK ASSEMBLY - A method of installing the terminal block assembly onto a generator includes the step of providing a terminal block with multiple terminal studs. Protrusions that are integral with the terminal block are aligned with corresponding bores in a generator housing. The terminal block is mounted on the generator housing with the protrusions received in the bores. A terminal lead assembly is inserted through the protrusion, and a terminal pad of the terminal lead assembly is arranged over the terminal stud. A terminal lug is fastened to the terminal stud. A terminal cover is secured to the terminal block over the terminal with a boss of the terminal block received in a corresponding recess of the terminal cover. | 07-26-2012 |

20140175936 | PHASE SEPARATOR INSULATOR FOR ELECTRIC MACHINE STATOR - An insulating phase separator is used in an electric machine to separate phase windings in a stator assembly. The insulating phase separator includes first and second endturn portions and first and second leg portions. The first and second endturn portions each have a curved outer surface and a tabbed portion located opposite the curved outer surface. The first and second leg portions extend between the first and second endturn portions and are integral with the first and second endturn portions. | 06-26-2014 |
