Abstract: A data structure for a jointly utilized memory device, in particular, for inter-process communication, in an application system. The memory device includes a memory cell. The data structure includes a management structure, the management structure being configured to hold a pointer object to the memory cell.

Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, e.g., monoclonal antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind to ENTPD2 (e.g., human ENTPD2 protein), and methods of using these antibodies or antigen-binding fragments. The present invention also relates to combination therapies comprising an anti-human ENTPD2 antibody or antigen binding fragment and at least one additional therapeutic agent, and methods of using these combination therapies.

Abstract: A method for providing a piece of data in a communication system. The method includes: allocating a memory means for updating data in the memory means, in particular by a producer, in particular in response to a request signal of the producer; updating the data in the provided memory means with the piece of data; providing the memory means for the purpose of being read out, in particular by a consumer, wherein, in the allocation step, the memory means is allocated as a function of a status of the memory means.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for providing transparent access to multi-temperature data are disclosed. A query for accessing data is received. The query includes at least one selection parameter for retrieval of data. The data is stored in a plurality of partitions of a database system. Each partition has a maximum data value per column, a minimum data value per column, and a predetermined date associated with the data contained in the partition. A determination is made whether at least one selection parameter is greater than the minimum data value per column and less than the maximum data value per column. The queried data is retrieved from the partition using the predetermined date associated with the data contained in the partition.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a computer-implemented method for executing a query on a table of a database, where the table has multiple partitions, can include receiving a query requesting a view on the table. The view on the table can be based on data included in a partition of the multiple partitions of the table. The method can also include determining a cached result to the query is not available in the database and generating a result to the query from, at least, the data of the partition of the multiple partitions. After the generating, the method can include building a cache including the result to the query, associating a transaction identifier for the query with the result to the query result in the cache; and returning the result to the query.

Abstract: In a femoral head cap implant having a cup-shaped cap component and a pin fixed to its concave inner surface, a pick-up coil is arranged in the latter, each respective terminal of the same being connected to a tissue electrode. One tissue electrode comprises a cap component, the other an electrode provided insulated on the pin or on at least one part of the pin which is electrically insulated from the cap component. By inducing a low-frequency alternating current in the pick-up coil by means of an external coil, this low-frequency alternating current flows from the two tissue electrodes through the femoral head bone provided with the implant, thereby promoting the maintenance of its vitality.

Abstract: A valve train for an internal combustion engine includes a camshaft with a cam unit for actuating a gas exchange valve. The cam unit has at least two cam paths arranged axially one behind the other and is arranged on the camshaft in a rotation-resistant and axially displaceable manner, and has an actuating profile interacting with a displaceable actuating element between a home position and an actuating position radially to the axis of the camshaft for axially displacing the cam unit on the camshaft. The actuating profile is formed by the lateral front face of the cam unit, and the actuating element has at least one displaceable actuating pin that interacts with a lateral front face of the cam unit such that an axial displacement of the cam unit takes place and in each axial position a different cam path is activated to actuate the gas exchange valve.

Abstract: A curl-suppressing device for a paper web in a paper processing machine has a stationary deflecting bar (1) that extends transversely to the direction of travel (A) of the paper, a deflecting roller (4) parallel to the deflecting bar (1) and arranged downstream of the deflecting bar (1) in the direction of travel of the paper and two supporting plates (3) that carry the ends of the deflecting bar and deflecting roller and may be displaced around a swivelling axis (A3) on a stationary support (9). The paper web (2) to be decurled runs in a S-shaped path between the deflecting bar (1) and the deflecting roller (4) and is frictionally drawn over the deflecting bar (1). A regulating motor is associated to one of the supporting plates (3) to swivel the supporting plate (3) until at least the deflecting bar (1) may be moved out of contact with the paper web (2).
