Abstract: Systems and methods for handling database transactions within a database session. A first client request to update a first data piece of a database session is received. A first response to the first client request indicates an update of the first data piece in accordance with the first request and publishes the update to enable further processing of the updated first data piece. An indication indicates that the updated first data piece is to be further updated and/or a second data piece of the database session is to be updated. A second client request is received to update a third data piece of the database session and a second response to the second client request indicates an update of the third data piece in accordance with the second request and an update of the updated first data piece in accordance with the indication.

Abstract: A method of aggregating and updating heterogeneous data objects for a client subsystem includes: storing a set of data object definitions, each defining a mapping between an aggregated data object format and a plurality of supplier data object formats; storing a set of update definitions, each defining a mapping between an aggregated update operation and a plurality of supplier update mechanisms; receiving a data object in a supplier data object formats; selecting, based on the supplier data object format of the received data object, a data object definitions and generating an aggregated data object according to the selected definition; presenting the generated aggregated data object to the client subsystem; receiving an aggregated update operation from the client subsystem for updating the aggregated data object; and selecting, based on the received aggregated update operation, one of the update definitions and initiating a supplier update mechanism according to the selected update definition.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a push-button control device for a timepiece, including a push-button head secured to a push-button stem that is fixed to a timepiece case, said stem being able to move axially between at least a rest position and an active position, against a return member, to control at least one function of said timepiece, and water-resistant sealing means, said device being characterized in that the water-resistant sealing means include a cap made of flexible, water-resistant material which covers the push-button head and which is secured to the timepiece case.

Abstract: There is disclosed a clasp for electrically connecting first (10) and second (10?) antenna elements respectively housed in first (50) and second (50?) strands of a wristband of a portable electronic instrument, this clasp including two parts (1, 2) able to be detached from each other, each electrically connected to one of the antenna elements, and able to be mechanically locked onto each other in order to establish an electric contact between the antenna elements. The first detachable part includes a first clasp element (60) including a first plate (62) extending into the extension of the first wristband strand. The second detachable part includes a second clasp element (70) including a second plate (72) extending into the extension of the second wristband strand and a holding device (73). The second detachable part further includes a third clasp element (75) rotatably mounted on the second clasp element (70) and arranged to lock onto the holding device of the second clasp element.

Abstract: There is disclosed a wristband for a portable electronic instrument including at least a first wristband strand (50) including outer and inner faces and one end (50A) of which is intended to be fixed to a case of said portable electronic instrument, this first wristband strand (50) including, housed between said outer and inner faces, an electric conductor including a conductive plate (10) of elongated shape arranged longitudinally in said first wristband strand (50). The conductive plate (10) includes at least one lug (20) cut into its thickness and bent along a longitudinal line in the direction of one of said outer and inner faces of the first wristband strand (50). The first wristband strand (50) further includes at least one orifice (51) arranged transversely between said outer and inner faces of the first wristband strand (50) and arranged for electrically accessing said at least one lug (20). There is also disclosed a method for manufacturing such a wristband.
