Abstract: A database system includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a transaction request comprising one or more transaction blocks in an order. The processor is configured to evaluate each transaction block of the one or more transaction blocks in the order by: determining in the order whether a condition expression of a transaction block of the one or more transaction blocks is true; and in response to the condition expression of the transaction block being true, adding in the order one or more associated action sets of the transaction block to a transaction context; and in response to each of the transaction blocks being evaluated, cause the transaction context to be executed as an atomic transaction.

Abstract: An optical waveguide device for use in a head up display. The waveguide device provides pupil expansion in two dimensions. The waveguide device comprises a primary waveguide and a secondary waveguide, the secondary waveguide being positioned on a face of the primary waveguide. The secondary waveguide has a diffraction grating on a face opposite to the face which contacts the primary waveguide. The diffraction grating diffracts light into more than one diffraction order. Rays diffracted into a non-zero order are trapped in the secondary waveguide by total internal reflection.

Abstract: A system for determining a quota comprises an input interface and a processor. The input interface is configured to receiving a current workload. The processor is configured to: determine whether the current workload less than or equal to target workload; and in response to the current workload being less than or equal to target workload: indicate no modification to input values; set output values to input values; and provide the output values.

Abstract: A file system interface receives, from one or more clients, file system operations over a network. In response to receiving a file system operation for a file, a file-object manager calls an object storage interface to store, via an application-level network protocol, a log object indicating the file system operation into a file system log in the object storage system and creates or updates a file object in a file object construction buffer in volatile system memory. To evict the file object, the file-object manager calls the object storage interface to store the file object into a file object store in the object storage system. The file-object manager does not have access to local persistent storage. After power failure, the file-object manager calls the object storage interface to retrieve log objects from the file system log and replays file system operations to restore file objects in the volatile system memory.

Abstract: A glare visor (13) for reducing ambient light intensity perceived by a wearer viewing a head-up display (3) employing display light (7) including a given wavelength(s) of light. The visor includes a visor body comprising optically transparent material which is partially absorbing of light of visible optical wavelengths thereby to reduce the intensity of ambient light transmitted therethrough to the wearer. A transparent optical coating (12) is formed upon a surface of the visor body which is partially transmissive of light of visible optical wavelengths amongst which it is preferentially transmissive of light of a sub-range of wavelengths for including therein the wavelength(s) of display light. This permits a perceived enhancement of contrast between display light (7) relative to ambient light (8).
