| 20090083219 | SQL code generation for heterogeneous environment - This invention relates generally to a system for processing database queries, and more particularly to a method for generating high level language or machine code to implement query execution plans. In one preferred embodiment, the method begins by receiving a subject query, and then forming an execution plan corresponding to the subject query. The execution plan will typically have a sequence of component snippets or pieces and corresponding processes for implementing the pieces. For at least one piece in the plan, the process then (a) generates source code using different code generation techniques as a function of expected runtime processing machine types; and then (b) compiles the generated source code to form machine executable code for implementing the subject query. As a result, the query executed directly as machine executable code thereby avoiding runtime interpretation of the pieces in the execution plan. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090132475 | Optimized database appliance - A system and method from processing database queries allows for cost and locale based distribution for execution of database queries. The database queries are executed on execution engines that provide flexible configuration and overlapping functionality. The system reduces various costs, including elapsed time, required to perform database queries. The method provides processing of a database query using a database catalog comprising database table locality information, record locality information and execution engine information. A query optimizer receives the query and accesses the catalog to create a query execution plan comprising locality-based database operations. A central database operation processor providing a first execution engine executes the query execution plan by performing at least a portion of the locality-based database operations and distributing at least a portion of the locality-based database operations as a subplan. A second database operation processor providing a second execution engine executes the subplan received from the central processor. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20080212597 | Method and apparatus for filtering data packets - Disclosed is a method and apparatus for filtering received data packets. A hierarchical tree is maintained. The tree includes nodes organized in a plurality of levels. Each level above a root node of the tree has one or more of the nodes, with each of the one or more of the nodes corresponding to a particular value of a segment of an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The segment is the same for each node of a particular level of the tree. Each node at a particular level of the tree stores a number representative of the number of received packets having the same value for the segment of the IP address associated with the particular level. Some of the received data packets are filtered out based on the hierarchical tree. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20090142975 | Environmentally Friendly Hollow Wooden Surfboard - A surfboard, the construction of which makes a minimal impact on the environment, the components are readily available, and which, if disposed of, biodegrades. The surfboard delivers performance characteristics comparable to any currently commercially produced wave-propelled craft, with no significant increase in materials costs. The surfboard is composed of a pattern of wood veneers over a wooden framework, creating a hollow wooden body. All pieces used in construction are connected using food grade gelatin glue. Casein from skim milk added to the glue provides a general water-resistance to the structure. Fins attached to the bottom of the surfboard give stability to the craft in the water. Routed fin boxes incorporated into the body of the surfboard, supplied with a wooden locking mechanism, allow the fins to be quickly changed for various wave conditions. A wooden leash plug as part of the construction permits a leash to be connected to the surfboard. The whole is varnished with a waterproof combination of rosin and tung oil. | 06-04-2009 |
