  • Patent number: 10268694
    Abstract: A framework for an improved destruction of interrelated data objects is described herein. In one embodiment, destruction and/or archiving of data objects are decoupled from the destruction and/or archiving of a master data object by using a backup table. Before being destructed, attributes relevant to destruction of dependent data objects are copied from the master data object to the backup table. Subsequent destruction operations performed on data objects dependent on the master data object may attempt to retrieve the attributes relevant to destruction from the master data object itself, or from the backup table. In this way, data object destruction orderings are avoided, enabling dependent data objects to be destructed at any time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8468790
    Abstract: A conveyor (16) includes a plurality of conveyor disks (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) that are arranged coaxial to one another and are rotatable about a common central rotational axis, wherein teeth are distributed around the edge of said conveyor disks. A first conveyor disk (20), and a second conveyor disk (22) situated directly adjacent to the first conveyor disk (20), are spaced apart by a smaller axial clearance than that between the second conveyor disk (22) and a third conveyor disk (24) that is situated directly adjacent to the second conveyor disk (22) and arranged on a side of the second conveyor disk (22) that faces away from the first conveyor disk (20).
