| 20110258178 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING CROSS STORE JOINS IN A MULTI-TENANT STORE - Methods and systems for performing cross store joins in a multi-tenant store are described. In one embodiment, such a method includes retrieving data from a multi-tenant database system having a relational data store and a non-relational data store, receiving a request specifying data to be retrieved from the multi-tenant database system, retrieving, based on the request, one or more locations of the data to be retrieved, generating a database query based on the request, in which the database query specifies a plurality of data elements to be retrieved, the plurality of data elements including one or more data elements residing within the non-relational data store and one or more other data elements residing within the relational data store, and executing the database query against the multi-tenant database system to retrieve the data. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110258225 | Methods and Systems for Performing Transparent Object Migration Across Storage Tiers - In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for performing transparent object migration across storage tiers. In an embodiment and by way of example, a method for appending data to large data volumes is provided. The method embodiment includes a) setting a CustomEntityOption bit that determines (at object creation time) where the object is stored, either in the relational or the non-relational data store portion, b) loading the CustomEntityOption bit in a cached CustomEntityDefinition, c) showing the CustomEntityOption bit as EntityInfo, and d) allowing custom object definition and Metadata API functionality when the bit is shown. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110258242 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR APPENDING DATA TO LARGE DATA VOLUMES IN A MULTI-TENANT STORE - In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for appending data to large data volumes in a multi-tenant store. These mechanisms and methods for appending data to large data volumes can enable embodiments to provide more reliable and faster maintenance of changing data. In an embodiment and by way of example, a method for appending data to large data volumes is provided. The method embodiment includes receiving new data for a database. The new data is written to a temporary log. The size of the log is compared to a threshold. Then the log is written to a data store, if the size of the log is greater than the threshold. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20080263411 | Test Instrument and System Responsive to Execution Time Data - Test instruments constituting an automatic test system are characterized in terms of execution time data. The execution time data is composed of a set of execution times. Each of the execution times is the time required for the test instrument to perform a respective testing operation. The test instruments additionally have the ability to communicate their respective execution time data to such recipients as others of the test instruments, the system controller and recipients outside the automatic test system. Additionally, such test instruments have the ability to communicate test results to at least one other of the test instruments and the ability to process test results received from at least one other of the test instruments. Such characterization, communication and processing allows a system integrator to devise execution time-dependent test programs as part of a test suite that allows test throughput to be maximized. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080298254 | Time-Slotted Protocol With Arming - The method augments the time-slotted protocols with additional features that allow arming functions to be implemented as an inherent part of the protocol. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080298398 | Transparent Spider - A timing bridge device is used to gain boundary and transparent clock functionality using conventional network components on those network links that require good timing distribution. This timing path is invisible to the network component. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090109797 | METHOD, A DEVICE AND A SYSTEM FOR EXECUTING AN ACTION AT A PREDETERMINED TIME - A method of executing an action at a predetermined time by a device is disclosed. The device has a latency time between initiation of the execution of the action and the actual execution of the action. The method includes advancing the initiation of the execution of the action by the latency time. A device in which the method is implemented and a system including the device are also disclosed. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100148757 | METHOD OF CALIBRATING AN INSTRUMENT, A SELF-CALIBRATING INSTRUMENT AND A SYSTEM INCLUDING THE INSTRUMENT - An instrument including a device, a transducer and a calibration module is disclosed. The device produces a reference time and/or a reference frequency. The transducer converts the reference time and/or the reference frequency to a reference signal. The calibration module adjusts an output signal generated by the instrument and/or a result of a measurement taken by the instrument, based on the reference signal. A system including the instrument and a method of calibrating the instrument are also disclosed. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100150288 | Synchronization of Low Noise Local Oscillator using Network Connection - Two or more local-oscillator-equipped instruments connected to a network are disclosed. Among the instruments, one instrument is designated as the master instrument and the rest, slave instruments. A master clock signal generated by the local oscillator of the master instrument is used by the slave instruments, through the network, to discipline their own local oscillators to generate slave clock signals that are synchronized to the master clock signal. | 06-17-2010 |
