Publication number: 20240111757Abstract: A method may include receiving a first transaction inserting a record into a database and a second transaction deleting the record from the database. A validity period for the record may be determined based on a first commit time at which the first transaction is committed and a second commit time at which the second transaction is committed. A current table and/or a history table of a system versioned table may be updated to include the record based on the validity period of the record. One or more temporal operations may be performed based on the system versioned table. For example, a time travel operation may be performed to retrieve, based on the system versioned table, one or more records that are valid at a given point in time.

Publication number: 20210033100Abstract: A blower filter device (3) is connectable to a voltage supply unit (2) and includes a blower unit (5), a filter mount (14), an internal energy storage unit (7), an energy interface (9), a current limitation device (13), a sensor array (16, 17, 18) and a control device (6). The current limitation device is activated upon disconnecting the energy interface from the voltage supply unit. The activated current limitation device limits the intensity of a current from the energy interface to the internal energy storage device. Upon the voltage supply unit being connected to the energy storage device and a predefined deactivating event is detected, the control device deactivates the current limitation device. The deactivating event is based on a charging voltage of the internal energy storage unit and/or on a time period that has elapsed since the connection. A process is provided for operating such a blower filter device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2019Publication date: February 4, 2021Inventors: Achim VOLMER, Martin SCHULZE
