Abstract: In some examples, a system determines whether a chain of functions violates a constraint, based on accessing a tracking structure populated with entries as the functions are invoked by respective server processes launched during execution of a database operation, where each entry of the entries of the tracking structure identifies a respective invoked function that is associated with a corresponding program instance, and detecting, using the tracking structure, related functions that form the chain, the related functions being identified as related if associated with a same program instance. In response to determining that the chain of the functions violates the constraint, the system blocks an invocation of a further function to be added to the chain.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a dental hygiene appliance, a pad usable in such an appliance, and a method of using such an appliance. The dental hygiene appliance comprises a plurality of mushroom-shaped bristles, wherein the mushroom-shaped bristles comprise a material with Shore 00 hardness between about 50 and about 100. The mushroom-shaped bristles comprise a stipe, a pileus, and optionally a brim. The dental hygiene appliance may be a monolithic body, or comprises a monofacial pad, or bifacial pad, that is held by a dental hygiene appliance frame. The advantage of having a brim is that it offers a larger area for dental hygiene appliance to interact with the tooth surface, and the brim allows the brim to get into crevices of teeth that are too small for pileus to enter. The interstitial space between the mushroom-shaped bristles may also comprise a dentifrice composition.

Abstract: A bow for a musical instrument is provided where the bow includes a bowstick having a proximal end configured to be grasped by a user and a distal end remote from the proximal end, the distal end being provided with a stylus configured for use with a capacitive touch screen. The stylus may include a touch screen contact portion for contacting a touch screen and a bow attachment portion for attachment to a bow of a musical instrument. The stylus allows a musician using the bow to interact with a touchscreen device without having to release the bow.

Abstract: A seal assembly for use with a door within a frame of a galley of an aircraft includes a seal configured to be movably coupled to the door and a seal holder holding the seal. The seal assembly includes a biasing mechanism coupled to the seal holder and configured to hold the seal in an open position by applying a biasing force to the seal holder. An activation mechanism is operably coupled to the seal holder that overcomes the biasing force to move the seal from the open position to a sealed position.
