Abstract: A method for performing a multi-fragment index scan operation included in a query pipeline of a query accessing a database table may include performing an index scan on a first chunk of a first fragment of the database table and a second chunk of a second fragment of the database table. A first output of the index scan on the first chunk of the first fragment of the database table and a second output of the index scan on the second chunk of the second fragment of the database table may be merged to generate a partial result set for ingestion by a next operation in the query pipeline. The multi-fragment index scan operation may continue with index scans on subsequent chunks of the first fragment and second fragment of the database table. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: A method for executing a query may include generating a partition value identifier for a partitioned table. The partitioned table may include a main fragment including a main dictionary storing a first value and a main value identifier corresponding to the first value and a delta fragment including a delta dictionary storing a second value and a delta value identifier corresponding to the second value. The partition value identifier may be set based at least in part on the first value and the second value. The generated partition value identifier and a corresponding one of the main value identifier and the delta value identified may be maintained as part of a mapping. A query to group data stored in the partitioned table may be received. The query may be executed by at least using the mapping.

Abstract: A method for controlling a technical system, in particular of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A circuit configuration for a data processing system for predicting a coordinate for at least one operation to be carried out is provided, the prediction being connected to at least one input signal and being a function of a predefined first time value and at least one predefined first value which represents another physical variable. Upon each change of the at least one input signal, a second time value is calculated in each case from the first value, and to subtract the first time value from the second time value to form a third time value, and/or to calculate a second value from the first time value, and to subtract the first value from the second value to form a third value, in order to determine from the third time value and/or the third value a state in which the at least one operation is to be carried out.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a data processing system is configured to process data in multiple modules. The circuit arrangement is configured to provide a clock as well as a time base and/or a base of at least one further physical quantity for each of the multiple modules. The circuit arrangement also comprises a central routing unit, which is connected to several of the multiple modules. Via the central routing unit, the modules can periodically exchange data based on the time base and/or on the base of the at least one further physical quantity. The several modules are configured to process data independently of and in parallel to other modules of the several modules.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a data processing system is configured to process data in a plurality of modules. The circuit arrangement is configured such that each module is provided with at least one clock pulse, a time base and a base of at least one additional physical variable. The circuit arrangement also comprises a central routing unit to which the plurality of modules are coupled and via which the plurality of modules can periodically exchange data amongst themselves, based on the time base and/or the base of other physical variables. Each module is configured independently and parallel to other modules of the plurality of modules in order to process data. The circuit arrangement is employed in a corresponding method.

Abstract: For mobile radio receivers (MTm) which are used in a cellular radio telecommunications system, in order to allow interruption-free relaying of a telecommunications link, in particular even if stationary radio transmitters (U-BS, H-BS) which are arranged in the cellular telecommunications system are not synchronized (asynchronous radio telecommunications system), the mobile radio receiver (MTm) has, in particular, first to third devices (FKT, SST, BMC, ZST, &mgr;P, SPGM, SWS). Using these devices, it is possible to receive all those radio messages which are transmitted for possible radio links at frequencies, in time slots and/or in channels by the radio transmitter (U-BS, H-BS) and allow radio links to be set up. In consequence, the mobile radio receiver is able to set up, in addition to a first radio link which is used as a telecommunications link, at least one second radio link, which is intended to be used as a telecommunications link, in the background.

Abstract: A cordless mobile part and method that detects selection features for a number operating modes. The mobile part also controls functional sequences specific to the mobile part and identifies the operating modes specific to the mobile part, the operating modes include a first operating mode for operating on a convenience charging station; a second operating mode for operating on a standard charging station; a third operating mode for operating on a headset fourth operating mode for operating as a handset. A controller connected to the detection system is designed in such a manner that interrogation is performed at all the branch points in each decision level on the basis of a selection feature in accordance with a decision tree having a plurality of decision levels and level-immanent branch points.
