  • Patent number: 11907220
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for processing queries in a hybrid database system. A database management system of the hybrid database system obtains an estimated execution time of a query by an online transaction processing engine. The database management system further obtains an estimated execution time of the query by a database accelerator. Furthermore, the database management system determines a wait time (which could be zero) for the database accelerator to process the query. The database management system then determines whether the online transaction processing engine or the database accelerator will process the query using the estimated execution time of the query by the online transaction processing engine, the estimated execution time of the query by the database accelerator and the wait time (which could be zero) for the database accelerator to process the query. In this manner, the processing of queries in hybrid database systems is optimized.

  • Patent number: 11344115
    Abstract: A system of racks comprising of at least two racks that can be nested together when they are not in use thereby minimizing the space required for their collective storage. Each rack is comprised of a frame having two or more frame elements linked together by at least one Z-shaped bracket. Each frame element is comprised of two vertical support members linked by a plurality of tray holders at spaced apart distances along the interior side(s) of the vertical support members. The plurality of tray holders on each of the frame elements linked by a Z-shaped bracket are substantially aligned in the vertical direction thereby forming a set of pairs of tray holders. Each pair of tray holders is configured to receive and support the placement of trays. The trays comprise of a flat base portion with upstanding side edges which may be welded to a wire element to reduce crevices where debris and contaminants may otherwise be trapped and to assist with cleaning of the trays.

  • Publication number: 20210040151
    Abstract: The invention discloses a micromolecule polypeptide and use thereof. The micromolecule polypeptide KP-6T has a function of significantly inhibiting and reversing kidney tissue fibrosis and CKD progress without obvious toxic and side effects, so that it can be used for manufacturing a medicament for effectively inhibiting the CKD progress. Compared with a micromolecule polypeptide KP-6 disclosed in the prior art, both the KP-6T and the KP-6 can delay kidney tissue fibrosis progress of an advanced UUO mouse, however, the KP-6T contains only 11 amino acids, and has the advantage of shorter peptide chain, easier synthesis, lower cost and easier absorption and distribution in vivo.

  • Publication number: 20150213633
    Abstract: Exemplary devices, procedures and computer-readable mediums for providing a projection image associated with at least one target. The projection image can be formed from a plurality of locations of a source arrangement. At each source location, a plurality of panoramic projection images associated with a target can be acquired. At least two of the panoramic projection images can be obtained at view angles which are different from one another. These panoramic projection images can be stitched together or otherwise combined. A resulting image can then be generated using a computed tomography procedure based on the stitched or combined projection images that are generated at the plurality of location.
