20080197186 | Settlement server, settlement request server and settlement execution terminal - An object of the present invention is to, in settlement by electronic money, reduce burden on an electronic money server and enhance convenience for users. The function of generating transaction numbers is transferred from the electronic money server to affiliated store servers, so that the transaction numbers are generated by the affiliated store servers. The transaction numbers are each associated with transaction information calculated in accordance with a calculation rule confidential to third parties, such that the electronic money server can detect the presence of alteration of the transaction information based on the transaction number. Furthermore, at the time of generating a transaction number, a seed, which is time-limited secret information confidential to third parties, is inputted to the calculation rule along with the transaction information and used for calculating the transaction number, whereby it is possible to further enhance the level of security. | 08-21-2008 |

20090013936 | MATERIAL FOR TREATING EXCRETION OF PET - A pet excreta treating material made mainly of a ground material of plant origin and having a higher water absorbency in the third measurement than in the first measurement, a water absorbency of 3% to 30% by weight in the third measurement, and a specific gravity of 0.8 to 1.2 measured before the first water absorbency measurement. The water absorbency is measured by immersing a dried excreta treating material in 25° C. water for 3 seconds and calculating the weight increase by the equation below, which is taken as water absorbency (%). In the second and following measurements, the excreta treating material immediately after the preceding measurement is dried and immersed in 25° C. water for 3 seconds to obtain a water absorbency in the same manner. | 01-15-2009 |
20090104972 | Gaming Machine - A slot machine executes a special effect process when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the special effect process, a main CPU changes a display style of a stopped multi symbol from a first display style to a second display style, while displaying an effect character image on a variable display portion. Further, the effect character image is displayed while being overlapped with a part of symbol display areas, while maintaining a state in which most of figures of stopped symbols can be seen. | 04-23-2009 |

20120011098 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING REPLICATION OF DATA - Data replication management which enables rapid retrieval while increasing the performance of the entire system, and maintaining data synchronization regarding successively updated data is performed. There are steps which comprises a step that when a slave node which has received an instruction for retrieval does not receive a return massage from a master node within a predetermined time period (Ts | 01-12-2012 |
20120254138 | DATABASE MANAGEMENT METHOD - The present invention realize a method of managing a database capable of hierarchically building master nodes, and efficiently performing the update of the master nodes. A lower-level master node sends, to a higher-level master node, a write set expanded in its own memory including a shadow copy of its own database and a heaptuple map, and the higher-level master node that received the write set verifies whether the update has already been executed and sends the record of this update to the lower-level master node as a transaction log, whereby the database can be updated efficiently and consistently from the lower-level master node to the higher-level master node, and from the higher-level master node to the lower-level master node under its control. | 10-04-2012 |
20130013556 | METHOD OF MANAGING DATABASE - A multi-master node model database management technology involves notifying a higher-level master node of a transaction minimum value as a minimum value of an implementation-underway transaction in a snapshot from a lower-level master node, comparing the transaction minimum value with minimum values retained by the respective master nodes and thus updating a node minimum value and a cluster minimum value. Then, the lower-level master node transmits a write set containing a shadow copy of its own database, a heap tuple map deployed on its own memory and the transaction minimum value to the higher-level master node, and the higher-level master node receiving the write set updates the database by use of the write set if the transaction minimum value is equal to or larger than the cluster minimum value, and aborts the write set if the transaction minimum value is smaller than the cluster minimum value. | 01-10-2013 |
20130179397 | DATABASE MANAGEMENT METHOD - A lower-level master node sends, to a higher-level master node, a write set expanded in its own memory including a shadow copy of its own database and a heap_tuple map, and the higher-level master node that received the write set verifies whether the update has already been executed and sends the record of this update to the lower-level master node as a transaction log, whereby the database can be updated efficiently and consistently from the lower-level master node to the higher-level master node, and from the higher-level master node to the lower-level master node under its control. | 07-11-2013 |
20130179416 | DATABASE MANAGEMENT METHOD - A lower-level master node sends, to a higher-level master node, a write set expanded in its own memory including a shadow copy of its own database and a heap_tuple map, and the higher-level master node that received the write set verifies whether the update has already been executed and sends the record of this update to the lower-level master node as a transaction log, whereby the database can be updated efficiently and consistently from the lower-level master node to the higher-level master node, and from the higher-level master node to the lower-level master node under its control. | 07-11-2013 |
