  • Publication number: 20240111757
    Abstract: 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. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

  • Patent number: 4640121
    Abstract: A method for determining the location of a leak in pressure-carrying vessels, including a plurality of probes spaced-apart on walls of the vessels for picking up high-frequency solid-conducted sound noises, and an amplifier connected to the probes, includes forming an r.m.s. value in the amplifier from the sound noises, comparing the r.m.s. value with a threshold value, issuing a signal if the r.m.s. value exceeds the threshold value, comparing the solid-conducted sound noises from at least two probes with each other for localizing the leak, placing the r.m.s. values of the solid-conducted sound noises in a relationship relative to the spacing between the probes based on the comparison, and determining the location of the leak as the location of the maximum solid-conducted sound noise from the relationship.
