Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for improved design and implementation of data access metrics for automated physical database design. An example method includes identifying a database workload for which index advisor access counters are to be tracked. Each SQL statement in the database workload is executed. For each SQL statement, attribute sets are determined for which a selection predicate filters a result for an SQL statement. An output cardinality of each selection predicate is determined. A logarithmic counter for an attribute set corresponding to the selection predicate is determined based on the output cardinality of the selection predicate. The determined logarithmic counter is incremented. Respective values for logarithmic counters of the determined attributes are provided to an index advisor. The index advisor determines attribute sets for which to propose an index based on the logarithmic counters of the respective attribute sets.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, methods and systems may be associated with a cloud computing environment. A workload prediction framework may receive observed workload information associated with a database in the cloud computing environment (e.g., a DataBase as a Service (“DBaaS”)). Based on the observed workload information, a Statement Arrival Rate (“SAR”) prediction may be generated. In addition, a host variable assignment prediction may be generated based on the observed workload information. The workload prediction framework may then use the SAR prediction and the host variable assignment prediction to automatically create a workload prediction for the database. A physical database design advisor (e.g., a table partitioning advisor) may receive the workload prediction and, responsive to the workload prediction, automatically generate a recommended physical layout for the database (e.g., using a cost model, the current physical layout, and an objective function).

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for efficient shared bulk loading into optimized storage. One example method includes identifying a data set on a client to load to a server. Load steps that can be performed either on the client or the server are identified. Values for load factors are determined. Load rules are determined that are based on load factors and are for determining processing locations for the load steps. A processing location of either the client or the server is determined for each load step, based on the load rules. Load steps that have a processing location of the client are executed on the data set, on the client. The data set is transferred from the client to the server, over a network. Load steps that have a processing location of the server are executed on the data set, at the server.

Abstract: A process can be used for producing methacrylic acid or a methacrylic acid ester. The process involves producing acrolein, reacting the produced acrolein with hydrogen to produce propanal, reacting the propanal with formaldehyde to produce methacrolein, and oxidizing the methacrolein in the presence of an oxygen containing gas and optionally an alcohol, to obtain methacrylic acid or methacrylic acid ester.

Abstract: A stator of an electric motor has a number of radially directed stator teeth, onto each of which an insulating coil carrier for a coil of a multiphase rotating field winding is or can be placed. The stator teeth are connected to one another on the outer circumference on a yoke side, forming stator grooves. On the inner circumference, on a pole shoe side, a groove gap is respectively formed between adjacent stator teeth. Stiffening is provided on the inner circumference on the pole shoe side of the stator teeth, in the form of a stiffening element that projects into the or each groove gap.

Abstract: A stator contains a stator assembly having a number of stator teeth, which are provided with coils of a multi-phase stator winding, and a contact device for interconnecting axially orientated coil ends of the coils with a number of phase connections. The contact device has an interconnection ring fitted on the stator assembly on the end side and has integrated bus bars for interconnecting the coils with the phase connections. The contact device has a ring cover fitted on the interconnection ring. The interconnection ring has a number of axial through-openings corresponding to the number of coils ends, through which the coils ends are guided. The bus bars have contact tabs at the ends of the bar, which are arranged in a region of the through-openings, and on which a respective coil end is contacted. The ring cover covers the coil ends and contact tabs.

Abstract: A method for controlling the movement of a vehicle in an automatic driving operation involves, during the automatic driving operation, the vehicle capable of being operated both in a regular operating mode and in an emergency operating mode. When a functional impairment of the regular operating mode is established, a switch from the regular operating mode to the emergency operating mode is carried out. In the emergency operating mode, the vehicle is guided automatically to an emergency stop position. In the emergency operating mode, the vehicle is braked with a deceleration profile which contains three deceleration phases, namely a first deceleration phase with a momentary strong braking, a second deceleration phase with a somewhat longer moderate braking, and a third deceleration phase with a strong braking lasting until the vehicle has come to a standstill or until the vehicle driver of the vehicle takes over a vehicle guidance of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method, a transmitter and a computer program product for processing data units at the transmitter are disclosed. In one embodiment, data units are transmitted to a receiver according to a protocol and with respective sequence numbers. The protocol indicates that the receiver is to use a reordering window to determine whether a data unit which is newly received from the transmitter is a new or repeated data unit the data stream by comparing the sequence numbers of the newly received data unit and a previously received data unit. A status report is received and based thereon, the sequence number of a next data unit to be transmitted in a new cell following a handover is selectively adjusted such that the next data unit will be determined to be a new data unit. The next data unit is transmitted with the adjusted sequence number to the receiver.
