Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for querying data in cross-shard databases. The method includes: receiving a query request; querying statistics information of respective shard databases in which two tables used in an association operation are located; sending, according to the statistics information and the query condition, a driving table query request to a shard database in which a driving table is located, and receiving a first query result set returned by the shard database in which the driving table is located; deduplicating association field values in the first query result set, and sending a result set delivery request and deduplicated association field values to a shard database in which the non-driving table is located; and sending a non-driving table query request to the shard database; and receiving a second query result set returned by the shard database. Efficiency of querying data in cross-shard databases is improved.

Abstract: A releasable medical drape, and systems and methods having the same, includes at least a liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a soft-gel layer having a plurality of apertures. The soft-gel layer is configured to be disposed adjacent to a tissue site. A portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer extends through the plurality of apertures in the soft-gel layer to contact the tissue site. The soft-gel layer forms a good seal with the tissue site and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer extending through the plurality of apertures forms a firm—but releasable—coupling with the tissue site.

Abstract: Described herein are various antimicrobial soda lime glass articles that have improved resistance to discoloration when exposed to harsh conditions, including manufacturing conditions. The improved antimicrobial glass articles described herein generally include a SLG substrate that has a thickness, t; a compressive stress layer of about 0.15*t or greater; and an antimicrobial agent-containing region having an antimicrobial agent and a thickness less than the thickness of the compressive stress layer. Roughly 2 to 20 microns of the primary surfaces of the glass substrate can be removed prior to development of the compressive stress and antimicrobial agent-containing region. In some aspects, prior-annealed and tempered, or prior-annealed, SLG is employed as the substrate. In some aspects, the substrate includes tin at one surface. The improved SLG substrates experience substantially no discoloration when exposed to harsh conditions. Methods of making and using the glass articles are also described.
