  • Patent number: 11143490
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adjusting element for a telescopic sight, with a base, a rotary actuating element, a display element that has along its circumference at least one scale visible from the outside with multiple scale markings that are read off in reference to a reference marking, wherein the display element acts to display the current setting of the rotary actuating element. The individual scale markings represent values of a main parameter, whereby at least two scale levels are formed to display a first ancillary parameter, which are placed axially spaced apart from each other on the display element, whereby the scale markings of the individual scale levels that represent the same value of the main parameter are displaced by a difference angle to each other and a first ancillary parameter can be set using the individual scale levels.

  • Patent number: 11061897
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for facilitating the distribution of tables and table data between a shared container and one or more tenant containers. The tables can include a sharing indicator that can designate a table (or a view on a table) as having a materializable type. Materializable types can initially be deployed in the shared container, and a tenant container can have read access to the table via a view. If the tenant attempts to modify the materializable table, the table can be materialized in the tenant container. Metadata for a materializable table can include materialization instructions. Techniques and solutions are also provided for converting between sharing types, and for updating shared containers or table schemas.
