Abstract: A database definition language (DDL) description of a database table can be copied to create a temporary copy of the database table as part of a table upgrade to change a structure of the database table to an upgraded structure. The temporary copy of the database table can be renamed, and the DDL description in the temporary copy of the database table can be changed to an intermediate state while a runtime object and a database object of the database table remain in original states. The changed DDL description can be activated in the temporary copy of the database table such that the runtime object and the database object are updated to the intermediate state, and the temporary copy of the database table can be renamed to an original name of the database table, thereby activating the temporary copy as the database table with the upgraded structure.

Abstract: A system and method for database migration is provided. In an example embodiment, the database migration technique may include a first connection to a relational database, a second connection to an in-memory database, and a migration framework to analyze the data structures of the relational database so as to identify first and second subsets of data structures. The first subset of data structures is migrated to the in-memory database during an uptime period of the relational database, and the second subset of data structures is migrated to the in-memory database during a downtime period of the relational database.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production of a coating of a porous electrically conductive support material (1) with a dielectric (18), particularly for use in a capacitor. The production method comprises the steps: infiltrating the support material (1) with a solution (2) which contains precursor compounds of the dielectric (18) and at least one solvent (12), and which has a boiling temperature TS and a crosslinking temperature TN, and drying the support material (1) infiltrated with the solution (2) at a drying temperature, which is lower than the boiling temperature TS and lower than the crosslinking temperature TN of the solution (2), until more than 75 wt.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a coating of a porous, electrically conductive substrate material with a dielectric by using a solution of precursor compounds of the dielectric with a concentration of less than 10 wt. %, expressed in terms of the contribution of the dielectric to the total weight of the solution, and to the production of capacitors using this method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a capacitor having a porous electrically conductive substrate on whose inner and outer surfaces a first layer of a dielectric and an electrically conductive second layer are applied. The invention also relates to a method for the production of such capacitors and to their use in electrical and electronic circuits.

Abstract: The autonomous avatar driver is useful in association with language sources. A sourcer may receive dialog from the language source. It may also, in some embodiments, receive external data from data sources. A segmentor may convert characters, represent particles and split dialog. A parser may then apply a link grammar, analyze grammatical mood, tag the dialog and prune dialog variants. A semantic engine may lookup token frames, generate semantic lexicons and semantic networks, and resolve ambiguous co-references. An analytics engine may filter common words from dialog, analyze N-grams, count lemmatized words, and analyze nodes. A pragmatics analyzer may resolve slang, generate knowledge templates, group proper nouns and estimate affect of dialog. A recommender may generate tag clouds, cluster the language sources into neighborhoods, recommend social networking to individuals and businesses, and generate contextual advertising.

Abstract: Process for preparing an alkenylphosphonic acid derivative by reacting a phosphonic acid derivative with an alkyne in the presence of a catalyst complex system, wherein the catalyst complex system comprises (a) nickel, (b) a phosphine having at least two trivalent phosphorus atoms and in addition (c) a phosphine having one trivalent phosphorus atom.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a virtual avatar with migrational ability, and brokering information, are provided. The persistent avatar exists in a plurality of virtual environments and includes attributes generated by an attribute generator, an enabler for enabling virtual environments to access the stored attribute data, and a migrator for allowing the avatar to migrate from one virtual environment to another while the attributes of the persistent avatar remain substantially constant. The enabler utilizes at least one client based on protocol suite. Stored attribute data is modifiable by experiences in any virtual environment. User of the persistent avatar is notified when events occur in any virtual environment, or within real life, by monitoring for events with a monitor, assessing importance of the event with an assessor, and notifying the owner with an informer of the event if it exceeds a threshold of importance.
