  • TRANSACTION LOG MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20130185262
    Abstract: Managing a log-full condition of a transaction log in a transaction processing system, where the transaction log has a plurality of log records each associated with a particular transaction. When a log-full condition is detected, the active transaction having the oldest log entry of all active transactions is identified and logging for all transactions except for the identified transaction is temporarily suspended. A dynamic transaction backout of the identified transaction is initiated, with the writing of a backout record for the identified transaction to the log being delayed. Confirmation that the backout has completed is awaited before trimming the log. Then the delayed backout record for the identified transaction is written to the log, and normal logging is resumed.

  • DEVICE AND ACCESSORY WITH CAPACITIVE TOUCH POINT PASS-THROUGH
    Publication number: 20130181935
    Abstract: A touch sensitive input apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a panel with at least one capacitive touch sensor. A cover is positionable over part of the input panel. Within the cover is at least one capacitive touch point pass-through having an exposed first side and extending through the cover towards an opposite back surface of the cover, which faces the input panel. The side of the capacitive touch point pass-through opposite the front surface capacitively couples to at least one capacitive touch sensor of the input panel when the cover is positioned over the input panel. A method identifies the cover placed over the input panel, maps capacitive touch point pass-throughs of the identified to portions of the input panel, and configures displays to present visual content at locations corresponding to windows of the identified cover.

  • Memory controller
    Patent number: 8478947
    Abstract: A method of controlling a memory and a memory controller are disclosed. The memory controller is operable to control a memory, the memory being operable in a plurality of modes, the memory controller comprising: memory interface logic configurable to interact with the memory in each of the plurality of modes; and memory mode change logic operable, in response to a memory mode change request instruction specifying a predetermined one the plurality of modes being issued by the memory interface logic to the memory, to request the memory interface logic to be configured to interact with the memory in the predetermined one of the plurality of modes and to prevent interaction between the memory interface logic and the memory until the memory interface logic confirms that it is configured to interact with the memory in the predetermined one of the plurality of modes.
