  • Publication number: 20210357419
    Abstract: A DBMS receives a database-access request that includes an instruction to non-destructively read a database table row. The DBMS assigns the request a TSN identifier and creates a TSN image that identifies all TSNs assigned to transactions that are not yet committed. The DBMS traverses a linked list of log entries that identifies a chronological history of transactions performed on the same row. The DBMS infers that the table row currently contains data stored by the most recently logged transaction that is not contained in the TSN image and that has thus been committed. The DBMS then continues to process statements of the transaction based on the assumption that the row contains the inferred value. The DBMS performs this procedure without acquiring a shared lock on the data page or on the index leaf page that points to the table row.

  • Patent number: 11151223
    Abstract: A system for lifecycle tracking of drugs provides for medical pumps to provide end of delivery cycle recording of the disposition of drugs, both for drugs that are administered by pump and those administered manually. By introducing drug dispensing identification upstream, for example, at the pharmacy, the invention allows automatic recording of the drug delivery by medical pumps communicating with the central server system. The result is a lifecycle manifest having records linked to a patient that identifies the travel of the drug and delivery of the drug through the medical care system from pharmacy to patient, and identifies discrepancies in drug utilization.

  • Publication number: 20210267274
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a heat regulating device for a hookah, including a lid and a base. The lid and the base are movably connected to form a cavity for placing tobacco or other combustible substances. The upper part of the base has an annular groove; and the lid has a fastener which is hook-shaped; the fastener extends downward and inward and is embedded in the annular groove. The fastener and the annular groove are configured to improve the connection stability of the lid and the base. In the event of an accident, such as unexpected tipping over, the lid won't easily fall off from the base, so tobacco or other combustible substances can be contained in the device to reduce the possibility of scald, even fire and other accidents, thus improving the safety performance of the heat regulating device.
