Patent number: 11868348Abstract: The present invention relates to join acceleration. In an embodiment, a computer receives a request for a relational join of build data rows with probe data rows. Based on the request for the relational join, a particular kind of data map from many kinds of data map that can implement the relational join is dynamically selected. Based on the build data rows, an instance of the particular kind of data map is populated. A response is sent for the request for the relational join that is based on the probe data rows and the instance of the particular kind of data map.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Shasank Kisan Chavan, James Kearney, Weiwei Gong

Patent number: 11797539Abstract: The present invention relates to hash join acceleration. In an embodiment, a computer receives a request to join build data rows with probe data rows. Each data row is associated with a respective join key value. From multiple buckets of a hash table, a bucket is selected that contains entries of multiple respective join key values in respective locations within the bucket. Whether or not the bucket contains an entry of the join key value of a build data row is detected. While building, multiple locations within the bucket are concurrently inspected to find an empty location in which to store the entry of the join key value of the build data row. The bucket is concurrently probed to detect whether or not the entries in the bucket include an entry of a join key value of a probe data row. For the join request, a response is sent that is based on the concurrent probing of the bucket.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Shasank Kisan Chavan, James Kearney, Weiwei Gong

Patent number: 10349778Abstract: The present invention relates to a more efficient chafing dish basin or Bain Marie for the hotel/catering and hospitality industry, that has a first exterior basin with a heating element, a second basin comprising an insulating base, one or more heat conductive layers and a third food basin. The first exterior basin has a heating element that extends through the insulation base, and heat conductive layer(s) to contact the bottom of the food basin. The heating element can be heated by naked flames or electrically. Sufficient heat is transferred to the food basin to obviate the need for water or allows for significantly less water to be used, increasing the safety profile of these chafing dishes.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2015Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Catalytic Burners LimitedInventor: James Kearney

Patent number: 7447239Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides an ingress apparatus comprising a signal processing apparatus for receiving an incoming data frame and locating the position of path overhead, and a monitoring apparatus arranged to extract information from the located path overhead. The ingress apparatus further includes an insertion apparatus for receiving, from the monitoring apparatus, information extracted from the path overhead of one or more signal path, and being further arranged to insert the extracted information into a respective data frame component which occupies a fixed position in a data frame. Thus, information which would normally occupy a non-fixed position in a data frame is moved to a fixed position. As a result, the information can subsequently be accessed without having to employ relatively complex apparatus for locating information which occupies a non-fixed position.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Mark Carson, William Smith, James Kearney

Patent number: 5721458Abstract: The capability of base power units which have phase switching capabilities which can be controlled upon sensing the power condition and status of other base power units is taken advantage of to provide a modular scalable power assembly. The base power units, which are preferably identical, are inserted into a plurality of slots so as to be pluggable into a circuit backplane which automatically provides the requisite interconnections between the base power units. The power assembly of the present invention is particularly useful in supplying power to scalable parallel processing computer systems.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1995Date of Patent: February 24, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Daniel James Kearney, Steven John Ahladas, David Nicholas Ayd
