Abstract: A system for transferring data includes an interface configured to receive data that is sent via a first link, and a processor coupled to the interface. The processor is configured to: receive data that is sent via a first link; determine whether there is discontinuity in the received data, the determination being based at least in part on information included in the received data; in the event that the received data includes a discontinuity, generate replacement data that repairs the discontinuity; and transmit at least a portion of replacement data to a second link such that a synchronization requirement associated with the second link is fulfilled.

Abstract: Techniques for managing data relationships are presented. A database element from a first database table is linked with a database element of a second database table via a Graphical User Interface as directed by a user. The link establishes a data relationship having attributes and properties. The relationship along with the attributes and properties are graphically presented to the user for inspection and analysis.

Abstract: Techniques for cross referencing data are presented. A first database object and a second database object are linked together. The linkage is automatically cross referenced to a third database object. Access to any of the database objects can be achieved via any of the remaining database objects and vice versa. Additionally, the link and cross reference can be visualized and visually manipulated and modified.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for bookkeeping of download stamps are described herein. An embodiment includes augmenting database table (or mobile business object) metadata with a synchronization (“sync”) key and assigning a unique identifier to each sync key. A sync key is assigned to one or more rows (or records) in the database table and a download timestamp is associated with each sync key. The embodiment further includes identifying a sync key associated with each row in the database table. Links between rows occurring in different database tables are maintained using sync keys. In this way, embodiments of the invention allow a server to record a download timestamp of database table subsets, where such subsets may include one or more rows in the database tables. This allows data to be downloaded by a client at subset granularity.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for rolling back protection processes. In one aspect, a method includes determining that a file is a malicious file, storing a duplicate of the file in a quarantine area, performing one or more protection processes on the file, if the determination that the file is a malicious file is a false positive determination, restoring the file by a pre-boot rollback process to a state prior to the one or more protection processes performed on the file, and booting the computer with the restored file, and if the determination that the file is a malicious file is not a false positive determination, not restoring the file to a state prior to the one or more protection processes performed on the file, and booting the computer.

Abstract: Harvesting assets for packaged application practices, in one aspect, may include obtaining one or more work products associated with deployment of packaged software applications, extracting content and style, enhancing content and style with models of work products, and storing assets in asset repository.

Abstract: A method for analyzing, querying, and mining graph databases using subgraph and similarity querying. An index structure, known as a closure tree, is defined for topological summarization of a set of graphs. In addition, a significance model is created in which the graphs are transformed into histograms of primitive components. Finally, connected substructures or clusters, comprising paths or trees, are detected in networks found in the graph databases using a random walk technique and a repeated random walk technique.

Abstract: A lithographic apparatus has an alignment system including a radiation source configured to convert narrow-band radiation into continuous, flat and broad-band radiation. An acoustically tunable narrow pass-band filter filters the broad-band radiation into narrow-band linearly polarized radiation. The narrow-band radiation may be focused on alignment targets of a wafer so as to enable alignment of the wafer. In an embodiment, the filter is configured to modulate an intensity and wavelength of radiation produced by the radiation source and to have multiple simultaneous pass-bands. The radiation source generates radiation that has high spatial coherence and low temporal coherence.
