  • Patent number: 10938934
    Abstract: Methods for managing dynamic configuration-based database connections using a proxy datasource are disclosed. In embodiments, a method includes: receiving, by a proxy datasource of a computing device, a connection request for a connection to a database from a software application of the computing device, wherein the software application is in an application container environment; obtaining, by the proxy datasource of the computing device, configuration data associated with the connection request; creating, by the proxy datasource of the computing device, a concrete datasource according to the configuration data; and returning, by the proxy datasource of the computing device, the connection to the database to the software application.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10938933
    Abstract: Systems for managing dynamic configuration-based database connections using a proxy datasource are disclosed. In embodiments, a computer program product is provided including a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to: send, by a software application of the computing device, a request for a connection to a first database to a proxy datasource of the computing device, wherein the request includes a database identifier and configuration data; pass, by a first concrete datasource of the computing device, a connection to the first database to the proxy datasource; return, by the proxy datasource of the computing device, the connection to the software application; and access, by the software application of the computing device, the first database via the connection.

  • Publication number: 20070282152
    Abstract: A process and apparatus are described for converting a feed that is substantially comprised of halogenated materials, and especially byproduct and waste chlorinated hydrocarbons as are produced from a variety of chemical manufacturing processes, to one or more higher value products via a partial oxidation reforming reaction step. These products can be in the form of a useful or salable acid product and/or a product synthesis gas comprised of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, or the reaction product including the same hydrogen halide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen components can be employed as a feed in the synthesis of a different useful or salable product.

  • Publication number: 20060004396
    Abstract: A torsional dissection tip and method of use comprising a longitudinal-torsional resonator having a cutting surface at a distal end with cutting teeth of a pitch optimized to the torsional or longitudinal displacement of the distal tip. The present art apparatus and method of use utilizes uniquely designed cutting surface geometries with the aforesaid pitch attributes for surgical applications. Utilization of the present art torsional dissection tip allows a surgeon to easily remove hard tissues such as bone without moving the present art instrument to any site except that which is to be dissected.
