| 20080209432 | COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SHARING RESOURCES AMONG HIERARCHICAL CONTAINERS OF RESOURCES - Computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for sharing resources among a plurality of containers in a data processing system. A computer implemented method includes creating a shared container for at least one resource to be shared. Then the at least one resource to be shared is moved from an original container of the at least one resource to the shared container, and a link is created between the original container and the at least one resource to be shared in the shared resource container. A link can also be created between a subject resource container and a shared resource in the shared resource container to enable the subject resource container to access and use the shared resource. A shared resource can also be removed from the shared resource container and returned to an original resource container when sharing of the resource is no longer desired. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20100191713 | UNBUNDLED STORAGE TRANSACTION SERVICES - Systems (and corresponding methods) that unbundle the kernel or storage engine of a database system are provided. The unbundling separates transactional aspects from storage aspects. The two components of the storage engine resulting from the unbundling are a transaction component (TC) and a data component (DC). Data storage access methods are implemented in the DC without the added complexity of dealing with transactions, which are handled separately in the TC. The interface supported by the DC is a logical interface, e.g., record oriented, in which the way that records are mapped to disk pages (or flash memory blocks, etc.) need not be exposed. The TC then deals with logical locking and logging, meaning that it need know nothing about the way pages are used in the DC. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20080207294 | System and method for playing community hand poker games utilizing dealer qualifying criteria - A system and method for facilitating play of a poker game utilizing dealer qualification criteria that impact the manner in which the game proceeds. The player(s) and dealer ante, and starting hands are dealt to the player(s) and dealer. The player may fold and lose the ante, or place a bet. The dealer's starting hand must meet qualifying criteria, such as a particular poker rank. If it does not, the dealer does not qualify, and the player(s) win the dealer's ante amount. If the dealer's starting hand qualifies, the dealer calls the players' bets, and deals a community hand. Using their respective starting hands and the community hand, each of the players and the dealer arrives at a resulting hand. If a player's resulting hand beats the dealer's based on poker rank, that player wins. Multiple betting options and/or multiple dealer qualification criteria may be implemented to enhance gaming entertainment. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20090278315 | System and Method for Playing Community Hand Poker Games Utilizing Mathematical Dealer Qualifying Criteria - A system and method for facilitating play of a poker game utilizing mathematical dealer qualification criteria that impact the manner in which the game proceeds. The player(s) and dealer ante, and starting hands are dealt to the player(s) and dealer. The player may fold and lose the ante, or place a bet. The dealer's starting hand must meet mathematical qualifying criteria, such as a particular sum of point values assigned to each card. If the criteria is not met, the dealer does not qualify, and the player(s) win the dealer's ante amount. If the dealer's starting hand qualifies, the dealer calls the players' bets, and deals a community hand. Using their respective starting hands and the community hand, each of the players and dealer arrives at a resulting hand. If a player's resulting hand beats the dealer's based on poker rank, that player wins. | 11-12-2009 |
