Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for aggregating database runtime information and analyzing application performance. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for aggregating database runtime information, comprising: aggregating said database runtime information based on queries; and aggregating, based on objects, said database runtime information that is aggregated based on queries.

Abstract: The application relates to a tool and a method for customizing hint. According to the invention, provided is at least one hint service adapter configured to collect relevant information of different database platforms, validate customized hint on real database platforms and provide feedback, and deploy the customized hint on database platform. Also provided is hint defining means configured to customize hint independently of database platforms, and providing customized hint to the at least one hint service adapter.

Abstract: Barrier layers and methods for forming barrier layers on a porous layer are provided. The methods can include chemically adsorbing a plurality of first molecules on a surface of the porous layer in a chamber and forming a first layer of the first molecules on the surface of the porous layer. A plasma can then be used to react a plurality of second molecules with the first layer of first molecules to form a first layer of a barrier layer. The barrier layers can seal the pores of the porous material, function as a diffusion barrier, be conformal, and/or have a negligible impact on the overall ILD k value of the porous material.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) comprises an insulative housing (10), a conductive member (20) received in the insulative housing, and a Flexible Printed Circuit Cable (70) electrically connecting with the conductive member. The FPC has one end electrically connecting with the conductive member, and the other end comprising a plurality of golden fingers (72) opposite to the insulative housing, and wherein the FPC forms a pair of wings (73) adjacent to the golden fingers, and adapted for preventing excessive insertion of the golden fingers.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) comprises an insulative housing (10) and a conductive member (20). The conductive member is assembled in the insulative housing, and comprises a plurality of first conductive pads (21) and a plurality of second conductive pads (22) arranged in a lateral direction of the conductive member, each first conductive pad comprises a contact sections (211) and a guiding section (210), each contact section is located behind corresponding guiding section alternatively aligned with the second conductive pads and the second pads in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to the lateral direction, and electrically separated with corresponding guiding section.

Abstract: Various embodiments or the invention may use changes in the quantity of responses received from an RFID-tagged object to derive parameters that indicate probably movement or the object. In some embodiments, multiple RFID tags and/or multiple RFID readers may be used in conjunction with one another to further refine the probability of movement and/or to indicate the probability of a particular type of movement.
