Abstract: A computer-implemented method for recovering data and concurrently rebuilding indexes for the recovered data in a database for a system configured to store fewer than all indexes in backup files may include copying data from one or more database files and storing the copied data to one or more backup files. A recovery manager executing on a processor may read the copied data from the one or more backup files and write the copied data to the one or more database files, wherein the data is recovered to the one or more database files. In response to the reading, an index manager executing on the processor may initiate a rebuilding of one or more indexes for the copied data at substantially the same time as the reading of the copied data.

Abstract: Data records may be managed in a relational database by monitoring, a record length for a first data record in a page of memory, an amount of free space in the page, and a page length. In response to receiving an operator command to replace the first data record with a second data record, a database management system may determine whether an estimated record length of a compressed second data record is outside of the amount of free space in the page. In response to determining the estimated record length of a compressed second data record is outside of the amount of free space in the page, the database management system may determine whether an estimated length of a compressed page is outside of the page length. In response to determining the estimated length of a compressed page is within the page length, the page may be compressed.

Abstract: Techniques which provide scalable techniques for managing multicast traffic in interconnected IP fabric data centers. More specifically, embodiments presented herein disclose an aggregated source technique used to address scalability issues for interconnected IP fabric data centers as well as disclose a secondary rendezvous point technique used to address backbone network (S, G) multicast state scalability. Additionally, embodiments disclosed herein include an approach for border leaf load balancing based on group destination addresses used by VTEPs.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes acquiring at a local network element information regarding a remote network element via a control protocol distribution method and refraining from instantiating the remote VTEP for the remote network element on the local network element until unicast traffic from the local network element to the remote network element via an overlay network has begun. The method may further include detecting unicast traffic from the local network element to the remote network element and subsequent to the detecting, instantiating the remote VTEP for the remote network element on the local network element. Some embodiments may include detecting cessation of the unicast traffic from the local network element to the remote network element and subsequent to the detecting cessation, uninstantiating the remote VTEP for the remote network element from the local network element.

Abstract: A battery connector (1) comprises a dielectric housing (2), a first conductive contact (3) and a second conductive contact (4). The dielectric housing (2) defines a cylindrical receiving cavity (20) for holding a battery therein. The first conductive contact (3), secured in said dielectric housing (2) on a side wall of the receiving cavity (20), comprises a contacting section (34) facing said receiving cavity (20). The second conductive contact (4), secured in said dielectric housing (2), comprises a first spring arm (41) inclining upwardly toward the center of said receiving cavity (20), and a pair of second spring arms (46) inclining downwardly from the upper end of the first spring arm (41) giving a reinforce spring strength to said upper end of said first spring arm (41).

Abstract: This invention provides a three-in-one water-supply pipe with accessories for quality-distinguished distribution of domestic water. This pipe contains three pipes arranged in a triangular combination to supply drinkable water, service water and recycled water at the same time. The diameter and thickness of the pipe walls of the three pipes depend on required water-supply volume and pressure. The accessories, including triangle shaped straight pipe, straight joint, 90-175 degree bending joint, tee joint and pipe clip are all made of contamination-free material, which can be assembled into a multi-pipe delivering system for separate supply of different domestic water to users. This three-in-one pipe system reduces manufacturing costs and provides good heat insulation to save energy. It is also easy for installation and maintenance.
