Abstract: An in-memory database server hosting a tenant of a multi-tenant software architecture can receive a definition of a custom data field that is unique to an organization having isolated access to the tenant. The custom data field can extend a standard table defined by central metadata stored at a system tenant of the multi-tenant software architecture. Tenant private metadata that includes the definition can be stored in memory accessible only to the tenant. A tenant-dependent table that includes the custom data field can be formed, for example by retrieving central metadata defining the standard table from the system tenant and adding the custom data field using the definition. The tenant-dependent table can be presented for access via a database client at the organization. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for minimizing table lock duration during lost change resynchronization between a source table and a replica table. An embodiment operates by detecting a restart at a source node or a replica node. A source table at the source node is then locked based on the detection. A database transaction is then created for a lost change resynchronization operation and the source table is unlocked. The database transaction is then compared to another database transaction based on its timestamp. Based on the comparison, either the database transaction for the lost change resynchronization operation or the other database transaction is executed.

Abstract: Technologies are described for performing replication within a database environment. For example, replication of database data can be performed using data manipulation language (DML) statements and logical logs. A database node can execute a DML statement, create a logical log comprising the DML statement, and insert the logical log into a logical log queue. The logical log can be sent to one or more other database nodes for execution of the DML statement stored within the logical log. Logical logs can be grouped for sending to other nodes. Logical logs can be executed on a first node and one or more other nodes within the same transaction boundary. Execution of DML statements can be decoupled from sending, receiving, grouping, and/or processing of logical logs.

The at least one slit may have a thickness that is less than a wavelength of sound emitted.

Abstract: An audio system, an audio outputting method, and a speaker apparatus are disclosed. The audio system includes a plurality of speaker modules connected to each other, a detection module configured to detect information of the plurality of speaker modules and user information, and a home control module configured to receive an audio signal, process the received audio signal based on the information of the plurality of speaker modules and the user information, and transmit the processed audio signal to the plurality of speaker modules.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a washing machine and a sound control method thereof that are capable of canceling noise generated during an operation of the washing machine and, at the same time, informing a user of information related to the operation of the washing machine using a sound. The sound control method includes operating the washing machine according to an inputted operation command, sensing noise generated during the operation of the washing machine, reading a sound to cancel the sensed noise, and outputting the read sound in a state in which the read sound is mapped with the noise. Consequently, it is possible mask the noise, thereby minimizing the noise. Also, it is possible to sense a start and an end of each operation and a change of the operation based on the noise pattern, sense a user's access to the washing machine, and output a feedback sound, thereby informing of the progress information of the washing machine.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a user interface device to set and control a function of an electronic apparatus, including a display unit configured to display screens for option groups of the function, a knob configured to enable a manipulation by a user, a depth sensor unit configured to sense depth of the knob, and a control unit, if the function is selected, configured such that an option group transition of the selected function is performed based on depth information according to the manipulation by the user, and a screen of an option group to which the option group transition is made is displayed.

Abstract: A channel tuning method and a broadcast receiving apparatus using the same are provided. The channel tuning method includes receiving a channel selection command from a user, tuning to a predetermined broadcast signal using channel index information corresponding to selected channel information, and displaying the tuned broadcast signal. The channel index information includes physical transmission channel (PTC) information, and program number information which is contained in a program map table (PMT). Therefore, it is possible to simultaneously manage a plurality of broadcast receiving apparatuses using separate channel index information corresponding to channel information input to the broadcast receiving apparatuses.

Abstract: In a broadcasting signal output apparatus and a method, an OSD processing unit produces a display-lock message if a display of contents is not permitted. A control unit determines whether the decoded video signal includes a copy protection signal for preventing the video signal from being reproduced, and if so, the control unit requests and receives a certification signal from the display device to determine whether the video signal can be transmitted to the display device through the video output terminal. The control unit then determines whether the certification signal corresponds with the reproduction preventing signal, and if it does not, prevents the decoded video and audio signal from being outputted, and controls the OSD processing unit so that the display-lock message is output to the display device (e.g., screen), so that the user knows when the currently received broadcasting signal is not displayed due to copy protection signal.
