  • Transaction log management
    Patent number: 8341125
    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.

  • METHOD OF CONTROLLING DRUM TEMPERATURE TRANSIENTS
    Publication number: 20120247406
    Abstract: An evaporator system comprises an evaporator; a drum; and a pump that are in fluid communication with each other. The pump is operative to create a temporary pressure gradient during start-up of an evaporator system and transport a fluid from the evaporator to the drum prior to the fluid reaching its boiling point in the evaporator. Following the fluid reaching its boiling point in the evaporator, the fluid naturally circulates in the evaporator system.

  • VARIABLE FREQUENCY TAG
    Publication number: 20120176225
    Abstract: An antenna assembly is operative for receiving interrogating radiation at a variable frequency tag and generating a corresponding received signal, and for receiving a signature signal and radiating corresponding response radiation. A logic unit is operative for receiving the received signal and outputting the signature signal in response, the signature signal including a signature code for use in identifying the tag. A voltage controlled oscillator is operative for controlling a rate at which the signature code is output; and a power supply is operative for providing an electrical potential difference for energizing the tag. The voltage controlled oscillator is operable to output the signature code at a rate which is governed by the magnitude of the received signal.
