Abstract: A syringe includes a barrel, a plunger, and a sealing member creating a seal between the plunger and the barrel. The barrel includes a first portion with a first inner diameter and a second portion with a second inner diameter that is larger than the first inner diameter. The sealing member engages the first portion of the barrel to give rise to a first contact pressure when the barrel is filled with product. The first contact pressure is sufficient to maintain a gas-tight seal over the expected temperature ranges ?25° C. to 40° C. A first force is applied to the plunger to overcome the first contact pressure and move the plunger out of the first portion and into the second portion to dispense product. The sealing member engages the second portion of the barrel to give rise to a second contact pressure that is lower than the first contact pressure.

Abstract: Techniques herein store database blocks (DBBs) in byte-addressable persistent memory (PMEM) and prevent tearing without deadlocking or waiting. In an embodiment, a computer hosts a DBMS. A reader process of the DBMS obtains, without locking and from metadata in PMEM, a first memory address for directly accessing a current version, which is a particular version, of a DBB in PMEM. Concurrently and without locking: a) the reader process reads the particular version of the DBB in PMEM, and b) a writer process of the DBMS replaces, in the metadata in PMEM, the first memory address with a second memory address for directly accessing a new version of the DBB in PMEM. In an embodiment, a computer performs without locking: a) storing, in PMEM, a DBB, b) copying into volatile memory, or reading, an image of the DBB, and c) detecting whether the image of the DBB is torn.
