  • Publication number: 20240184803
    Abstract: Herein is high availability for online transaction processing with redundancy and redo for a federation of pluggable databases and container databases. In an embodiment of a federation of container database management systems that includes a first container database, first redo data of a first pluggable database in a second container database is obtained based on a database dictionary in the first container database. To the first pluggable database in the first container database, the first redo data of the first pluggable database in the second container database is applied. Based on the database dictionary in the first container database, second redo data of a second pluggable database in a third container database is obtained. To the second pluggable database in the first container database, without modifying content of the first pluggable database in the first container database, the second redo data of the second pluggable database in the third container database is applied.

  • Patent number: 11313498
    Abstract: A profiled clamp for assembling on pipe ends, having a first half-shell and a second half-shell, each of which has a clamping head at a first end and a connection geometry at a second end for releasably connecting the second end. The clamping heads are connected to a clamping element, and at least one of the two half-shells can be tilted relative to the clamping element. A spring element is arranged in the region of the clamping heads, said spring element pushing the second ends of the half-shells apart under pretension. Contact regions of the spring element can be positioned on the pipe ends in a frictionally locking manner when connecting the two ends.

  • Patent number: 7686958
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing at least one chemical reaction product by chemically reacting one or several reactants that is/are optionally dissolved in one or several solvents and is/are supplied as a feed stream by bringing the same in contact with a heterogeneous catalyst in a continuously operated fixed-bed reactor which is filled with a particle bed, a continuous annular chromatograph (CAC) that is filled with the particle bed being used as a fixed-bed reaction in which the at least one reaction product is formed and purified while the at least one purified reaction product as well as optionally provided secondary products and/or non-reacted reactants are withdrawn at a different, predetermined azimuthal position of the annular chromatograph, respectively. The inventive method is characterized in that only one type of particle material is used in a single particle bed as both a formation catalyst and a chromatographic medium for purifying the at least one reaction product in the particle bed.

  • Publication number: 20060139031
    Abstract: A sensor for sensing an electric field includes a movable sensor probe including one or more pair, typically three pair, of electrically conductive electrodes, and may include one or more pair of selectively switchable auxiliary electrodes. The probe is movable and may be mounted on a vehicle or trailer. A processor may process electric field signals from the probe for providing a human perceivable indication of the electric field. The processor may perform a Fast Fourier Transform of the electric field signals to produce an indication of the magnitude of the electric field, and may perform unweighted and/or weighted averaging in relation to processing electric field data, setting a comparison threshold, providing a human perceivable indication, or a combination of the foregoing. A speed at which the sensor probe is moving may be utilized in processing the data.
