  • Patent number: 11726975
    Abstract: A system for unloading tables of a database is provided. In some aspects, the system performs operations including determining that a number of accesses to a table occurring within a time period has satisfied an access threshold. The operations may further include identifying, in response to the determining, a first timestamp indicating a most recent access to the table. The operations may further include determining whether a difference between a current timestamp and the first timestamp satisfies a first time threshold. The operations may further include comparing, in response to the difference satisfying the first time threshold, a ratio of the difference and a size of the table to a ratio threshold. The operations may further include unloading, in response to satisfying the ratio threshold, the table. The operations may further include adjusting, based on the feedback, the first time threshold and/or the ratio threshold.

  • Patent number: 10125749
    Abstract: A pump has at least one pump element that comprises a pump piston that is driven in a reciprocating movement by a drive shaft having at least one cam and that defines a pump working chamber which, during the suction stroke of the pump piston is selectively filled with pumped medium via an inlet valve. The at least one cam is a multiple cam having multiple cam delivery areas for the delivery strokes of the pump piston. The inlet valve is configured to be electrically actuated. The inlet valve is closed when the pump piston is situated in the cam delivery area to be used for the delivery. The inlet valve is opened when the pump piston is situated in a cam delivery area that is not to be used for the delivery. Cam profiles of the cam delivery areas of at least one multiple cam are of different design.

  • Patent number: 9183234
    Abstract: At runtime first and second cost functions associated with a request for a merge of a main partition of a table with a delta partition of the table can be calculated. The first and second cost functions can respectively quantify an urgency of the merge relative to availability of system resources required to perform the merge and an urgency of the merge relative to other merges. Determining whether the merge should occur can include comparing the calculated first and second cost functions with calculations of other first and second cost functions for other merge requests of one or more other tables. If the merge should occur, a merge thread can be assigned to execute the merge, and execution of the merge by the merge thread can be commenced if at least one merge token representing system resources usable for merge operations is available.

  • Publication number: 20150140123
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for screening compounds with (pro-)genotoxic activity by providing a system being capable of expressing a panel of defined proteins, incubating at least a portion of the system with compounds to be screened, and comparing the expression of the proteins in the system with the protein expression in a control system, thereby detecting the (pro-)genotoxic activity. Another object of the invention concerns a method for monitoring the likelihood of developing a physiological and/or pathological condition, which is caused, mediated and/or propagated by the genetic deregulation of proliferation, differentiation and/or damage repair, in response to a compound administered to a mammal in need of such treatment by determining an expression level of defined proteins in a biological sample withdrawn from the mammal. The invention also relates to a kit for screening compounds with (pro-)genotoxic activity comprising antibodies that specifically bind to marker proteins.

  • Patent number: 9022646
    Abstract: A sensor module for acquiring the temperature in the interior of a vehicle is disclosed. The sensor module has a temperature sensor for acquiring the interior temperature, and a radiation sensor for acquiring an insolation. Information provided by the radiation sensor is used to correct the interior temperature acquired by the temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor and the radiation sensor are arranged in a common first housing and make electrical contact with conductor tracks of a carrier board via first contact elements. A device for determining the temperature in the interior of a vehicle with the aid of such a sensor module is also disclosed.
