Abstract: A laminate with a decorative layer over an electrical functional layer such as a touch sensor panel, which provides for example a touchpad functionality, as well as a production method for it. It is possible for the first time to perform an individualization of prefabricated laminates with functionality such as touch functionality of a touch sensor in an uncomplicated manner. This is achieved by supplementing a functional laminate with a laser protective layer between the electrical functional layer and a decorative layer which can be lasered and written on with simple measures.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a system includes a query engine configured to obtain a multi-provider query model for a query specifying a filter to be applied on provider partitions. The obtained multi-provider query model incorporates a pruning plan. The query engine includes a query optimizer configured to execute the pruning plan during optimization of the multi-provider query model. The pruning plan determines if each of the provider partitions includes content that is required to execute the filter based on pruning information. The query optimizer configured to reduce a scope of the query by excluding at least one provider partition that is determined as not required to execute the filter.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a system for moving a filter in a query model to ensure query semantics includes a query engine configured to obtain a query model for a query to be executed on a database. The query engine includes a query optimizer configured to instantiate the query model by merging the query with the query model. The query optimizer includes a filter mover configured to move a filter to a point within the instantiated query model such that semantics for the query within the instantiated query model is ensured.

Abstract: As part of query processing within a distributed execution environment framework, available resources taken into account when generating an execution plan and/or executing an execution plan to determine whether to parallelize any operations. Related apparatus, systems, methods and articles are also described.

Abstract: A query is received by a database server from a remote application server. The query is associated with a calculation scenario that defines a data flow model that includes one or more calculation nodes. The calculation nodes each define one or more operations to execute by a calculation engine on the database server. Thereafter, the database server instantiates a runtime model of the calculation scenario by accessing a local settings object stored with the calculation scenario that specifies local settings for the calculation scenario. Subsequently, the database server executes the operations defined by the calculation nodes of the instantiated calculation scenario to result in a responsive data set. The data set can then be provided by the database server to the application server.

Abstract: A method for storing data in a replicated data storage system according to the invention comprises the steps of: partitioning the data into data blocks; and storing multiple replicas of a data block in a machine readable medium.

Abstract: Liquid compositions containing one or more anionic surfactants in combination with one or more polydiallyl dialkyl ammonium compounds or derivatives or copolymers thereof, these compositions being suitable for the production of liquid laundry detergents, preferably for dye-transfer-inhibiting liquid color-protecting detergents.

Abstract: The invention relates to liquid water-based compositions containing anionic surfactants in combination with polydiallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride or derivatives thereof, these compositions being suitable for the production of liquid laundry detergents, preferably for liquid color detergents.

Abstract: A liquid dispersant concentrate stable against clouding at a temperature of 10.degree. C. to 35.degree. C. containing: (a) from 20% to 50% by weight of the degradation products of polysaccharides containing uronic acid units; and (b) the remainder, water, all weights being based on the weight of the concentrate.
