Abstract: A dosimetry system for monitoring radiation exposure for a device under inspection comprises a support structure, a plurality of detectors, a signal processing unit, and a computing device. The support structure includes an upper surface on which the device under inspection is positioned. The detectors are positioned in proximity to the device under inspection. Each detector is configured to detect radiation and generate a radiation electronic signal whose level varies according to an amount of radiation to which the detector is exposed. The signal processing unit is configured to receive the radiation electronic signal from each detector and output data derived from the radiation electronic signals. The computing device is configured to receive the data from the signal processing unit and determine an accumulated radiation level for each detector.

The disclosure is especially suited for an independent assessment of the SUA and does not form part of the SUA.

Abstract: An electronic control module comprising a vent assembly is provided. The electronic control module comprises a housing having a first aperture and a substrate disposed within the housing. The substrate has a second aperture positioned adjacent to the first aperture, and includes the hydrophobic vent assembly disposed over the second aperture and adheringly coupled to the substrate. The hydrophobic vent assembly may be adapted to prevent the ingress of moisture and permit the egress of certain gases.

Abstract: In one aspect, a database analytical tool or function analyzes join queries to detect queries which could be reduced if a referential integrity relationship were known. In another aspect, a probable latent referential integrity relationship is detected using one or more heuristics. Preferably, a join query is analyzed to detect a joined table which has no other conditions placed on it, and no referential integrity relationship already defined. For any such query, the analysis attempts to verify a probable latent referential integrity relationship using at least one heuristic, such as comparing cardinality of the potential primary key with the size of the table and/or with the cardinality of the foreign key. It is further possible to execute the join for some sample of records, and determine whether any records were found which did not conform to referential integrity constraints.

Abstract: A database application re-uses one or more query execution strategies for a given logical query, and saves historical data concerning query execution performance under differing execution parameters. The historical data is analyzed to identify environmental variables and/or imported variables which significantly affect execution performance. Preferably, an auxiliary data structure includes, for each of multiple execution strategies, a respective set of imported and environmental variables and respective average cost measure, such as execution time. An analytical tool compares multiple different strategies to identify imported and/or environmental variables which caused a different strategy to be used, and resultant average cost. Preferably, the tool can also compare variation within the same strategy.

Abstract: Graphical maps of databases and related objects within a database have benefits for a database administrator. Instead of displaying all objects related to a node of interest, a user can select what maximum relation level to use to locate related objects. The mapping software starts at the initial node, or objects, and locates only those related objects that are within the maximum relation level as specified by the user. Only these located objects are displayed thereby producing a clearer and more concise map.

Abstract: Enabling a user to obtain and view graphic explain data with no need to activate a monitor and no need to wait for a job to complete before the explain data for a query may be viewed. Displaying explain data for an SQL query of a database that include executing an SQL query and displaying explain data for the SQL query while executing the SQL query. Displaying explain data includes identifying an access plan associated with the SQL query and generating explain data in dependence upon the access plan. Identifying an access plan may be carried out by retrieving an access plan identification from a cursor of a job control block and retrieving an access plan from an access plan cache in dependence upon the access plan identification.

Abstract: A vent assembly (50) for an electronic control module (28) is provided. The vent assembly (50) may be adheringly coupled to a printed circuit board (38). The vent assembly (50) being adapted to prevent the ingress of moisture and permit the egress of certain gases.

Abstract: A microdevice assembly (20) that includes a device microstructure (22), a housing (30), and a fine grain getter layer (40). The housing (30) has a base portion (32) and a lid (34). The device microstructure (22) is attached to the base portion (32) and the lid (34) is hermetically sealed to the base portion (32). The housing (30) defines a cavity (38) surrounding the device microstructure (22). The fine grain getter layer (40) is on an interior side (42) of the lid (34) for maintaining a vacuum in the cavity (38) surrounding the device microstructure (22). The lid (34) may be made of metal or have at least a metallic surface in the region where the fine grain getter layer (40) is applied. The fine grain getter layer (40) has a sub-micron grain size. There is also a method for making the microdevice assembly (20).

Abstract: The invention is directed to a display stand which generally includes a series of stacked platforms with a means to attach figurines to the top of each platform. Each platform also includes a back surface composed of display columns and scenic cards which may contain appropriate scenery to the figurines. The platforms are stacked upon these display columns and support columns with each platform having attachment means on both upper and lower surfaces. The figurines can therefore be displayed on multiple levels with appropriate scenery.
