Abstract: The present invention relates to a glass having a surface with improved water-repellency or hydrophobicity and low reflectance, and a fabrication method thereof. A technology is employed, in which a thin film containing silicon or silicon oxide is formed on the glass surface, the nano-structures are formed by selective etching treatment using a reactive gas such as CF4 or the like to provide superhydrophobicity and low reflectance properties, and a material with low surface energy is coated onto the nano-structures. The fabrication method of the low-reflective and superhydrophobic or super water-repellent glass may execute deposition and etching processes for the glass having the superhydrophobicity and the low reflectance, and provide excellent superhydrophobicity and low reflectance to the surface of the glass which was difficult to be treated. Also, the method is sustainable due to non-use of a toxic etching solution during these processes.

Abstract: Embodiments of radio frequency (RF) systems include a plurality of power amplifiers having a primary winding and a secondary winding. Each of the power amplifiers may be configured to process signals of different frequency bands. The primary winding for one power amplifier can be detuned while another power amplifier is being used in a transmit mode. By detuning the power amplifier, power coupling from the transmitting power amplifier can be reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: Technologies are described for performing synchronization within a database environment. A source host stores multiple database tables and a replica host stores copies of the multiple database tables. During synchronization, replication log replay is blocked at the replica node, and a multithreaded process locks the multiple database tables of the source hosts, reactivates replication log generation for each of the multiple database tables, and then unlocks the database tables. A synchronization timestamp is acquired and used to synchronize the multiple database tables with the copies of the multiple database tables. After synchronization, replication log replay is reactivated at the replica host for the copies of the multiple database tables.

Abstract: Technologies are described for facilitating transaction processing within a database environment having a coordinator node, a first worker node, and at least a second worker node. The first worker node sends a request from to the coordinator node for at least a first synchronization token maintained by the coordinator node. The first worker node receives the at least a first synchronization token from the coordinator node. The first worker node assigns the at least a first synchronization token to a snapshot as a snapshot ID value. The snapshot is executed at the first worker node. The first worker node forwards the snapshot ID value to the at least a second worker node.

Abstract: A method may include receiving a query for data to be provided by a database server, wherein the query includes an indication of a maximum lag. The method may further include determining whether a hint is available to apply to the query, wherein the hint affects an execution of the query. When no hint is available, a baseline database server may be selected to be the database server. When the hint is available, a replication server or a cache server may be selected to be the database server based on the hint and the maximum lag. The query may be processed at the selected database server.
