摘要:
A resistive element in an electrochemical artificial neural network, includes a transition metal oxide thin film forming a working electrode, a pair of first electrodes connected to the working electrode, and a reference electrode for electrochemical doping of the working electrode. The biasing of the pair of first electrodes with respect to the reference electrode according to a determination of conductivity between the pair of first electrodes controls the resistance of the working electrode.

A method of naming documents according to a document naming convention (DNC) includes receiving, from any of a plurality of data processing applications (DPAs) within an enterprise, a request for a document name and generating a document name “infix” portion in compliance with the DNC for inclusion in the document name. The prefix may be descriptive of a characteristic of the document and the suffix may indicate a document type, a document format, or both. The infix may include a fixed portion and a modifiable portion. The fixed portion may include a datestamp and a document unification identifier. The infix may include a variable portion that can be modified by a DPA that creates a new or modified document, but the name of the modified document maintains the fixed portion of the original document.
摘要:
A usage model and the underlying technology used to provide sequence analysis as part of a relational database system. Included components include the semantic and syntactic integration of the sequence analysis with an existing query language, the storage methods for the sequence data, and the design of a multipart execution scheme that runs the sequence analysis as part of a potentially larger database join, especially using parallel execution techniques.
摘要:
An approach for providing compression of a database table that uses a compiled table algorithm (CTA) that provides leverage. Data within any given column in adjacent rows is often the same as or closely related to its neighbors. Rather than storing data in each column of each row as a specific integer, floating point, or character data value, a field reconstruction instruction is stored that when executed by a decompression engine can reconstruct the data value. The field reconstruction instruction may be bit granular and may depend upon past history given that the data compression engine may preserve state as row data is streamed off a storage device.
摘要:
A database appliance in which two or more internetworked data storage units are used to coordinate the storage and retrieval of database records. One or more central database processing units are also associated with the data storage units. A network infrastructure provides the ability for the central database processors and storage processors to communicate as network nodes, with the network infrastructure using a communication protocol. A software application for executing database operations executes in a distributed fashion with portions of the database application executing on at least one central database processor and other portions executing on the data storage processors. At least a portion of the database application is implemented within and/or coordinated by a communication process that is executing the communication protocol. This coordination takes place such that data blocks are passed between the communication process and at least one portion of the database application process by passing data block reference information. In accordance with other aspects of the present invention, the communication process may have at least portions of the database application process executing within it. These database application operations executing within the same context as the communication process may include database operations such as join, sort, aggregate, restrict, reject, expression evaluation, statistical analysis or other operations.

A method provides cross enterprise communication in which intermediary communication components carry out cross enterprise communication. The method at a first sending enterprise comprises: receiving a signed encrypted message from a sender within a first enterprise; validating the sender; decrypting the message; encrypting the message for receipt by a second enterprise; signing the encrypted message by the first enterprise; and sending the re-signed re-encrypted message to a second enterprise. The method at the second receiving enterprise comprises: receiving a signed encrypted message from a first enterprise; validating that the first enterprise is the sender; decrypting the message; encrypting the message for receipt by one or more recipients at the second enterprise; signing the encrypted message by the second enterprise indicating that the message is from the first enterprise; and sending the re-signed re-encrypted message to the one or more recipients of the second enterprise.
摘要:
A client computer system receives a file that is at least partially encrypted. The client computer also receives a file manager and user input. In response to the user input matching data stored in an encrypted user profile, the client computer uses the file manager to decrypt the file based on a key stored in the encrypted user profile. The file is unusable if copied to another client computer, and the file manager manages usage of the file based on one or more terms of usage.
摘要:
A method and system for distributing tasks from an external application among concurrent database application server instances in a database system for optimum load balancing, based on consensus among the instances. Each application instance identifies a task partition ownership by those in a membership group based on a time window and generates a new membership group and partition ownership based on the current partition ownership. The instance makes the new membership group and partition ownership known to other members by recoding them in the membership table and partition map. Each participation by an instance in the membership group is identified by a random number. The new membership group and partition ownership are generated and adjusted based on an average partition allocation to achieve consensus among the instances.
摘要:
An improved method of making interconnect structures with self-aligned vias in semiconductor devices utilizes sidewall image transfer to define the trench pattern. The sidewall height acts as a sacrificial mask during etching of the via and subsequent etching of the trench, so that the underlying metal hard mask is protected. Thinner hard masks and/or a wider range of etch chemistries may thereby be utilized.
