Abstract: The invention discloses a DCS/WCDMA dual frequency multiplexer. On one hand, the multiplexer utilizes distributed parameter type capacitors in place of conventionally used capacitors. On the other hand, within the multiplexer, a direct circuit and a RF circuit are isolated from each other physically. All components including capacitors co-exist together physically. Similarly, the invention further discloses a dual frequency multiplexer with large application range. It also utilizes the distributed parameter type capacitors like the DCS/WCDMA dual frequency multiplexer. Because the invention has redesigned the entire construction of the multiplexer, it results good effects such as small size, less differential loss, large power capacity, as well as high isolation degree between circuits.

Abstract: A method of data loading for large information warehouses includes performing checkpointing concurrently with data loading into an information warehouse, the checkpointing ensuring consistency among multiple tables; and recovering from a failure in the data loading using the checkpointing. A method is also disclosed for performing versioning concurrently with data loading into an information warehouse. The versioning method enables processing undo and redo operations of the data loading between a later version and a previous version. Data load failure recovery is performed without starting a data load from the beginning but rather from a latest checkpoint for data loading at an information warehouse level using a checkpoint process characterized by a state transition diagram having a multiplicity of states; and tracking state transitions among the states using a system state table.

An ordered structure of one or more nodes is generated using the one or more computational elements. Each of the one or more nodes represents one or more computational elements.

The sorting pass includes: (a) reading blocks of the table from a storage medium into a memory using an aggregation method until the memory is substantially full or until all the data have been read into the memory; (b) determining a number k of blocks to write back to the storage medium from the memory; (c) selecting k blocks from memory, sorting the k blocks, and then writing the k blocks back to the storage medium as a new sublist; and (d) repeating steps (a), (b), and (c) for any unprocessed tuples in the database table. The merging pass includes: merging all the sublists to form an aggregation result using a merge-sort algorithm.

Abstract: A system and method for ensuring large and frequent updates to a data warehouse. The process leverages a set of temporary staging tables to track the updates. A set of intermediate steps are performed to accomplish bulk deletions of the outdated changed records, and perform modifications to the map tables for models such as snowflake. Finally, bulk load operations load the updates and insert them into the final dimension tables. The process ensures performance comparable to insertion-only schemes with at most only slight performance degradation. Furthermore, a modified process is applied on the newfact data warehouse dimension model. The process can be readily adapted to handle star schema and other hierarchical data warehouse models.
