Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, there is disclosed a recovery method in a storage system that integrates shadow page and deferred update techniques. Updates of a page in the buffer are not immediately reflected to the database, but are deferred until the transaction is committed. Instead, the updated buffer page is stored in the log volume in the unit of a page. When reading a page that does not exist in the buffer from the disk, the up-to-date page from the database or from the log volume is read. Then the log table index is used to determine whether the up-to-date page exists in the database or in the log volume and to identify the position of the page stored in the log volume if the up-to-date page exists in the log volume.

Abstract: An analog to digital converter includes a digital to analog converting circuit, a comparator and a signal processing circuit. The digital to analog converting circuit samples and holds an analog input signal, and converts digital output data to an analog signal to generate a hold voltage signal. The comparator compares the hold voltage signal with a reference voltage signal in response to a rising edge and a falling edge of a clock signal to generate a comparison output voltage signal. The signal processing circuit performs successive approximation based on the comparison output voltage signal to generate the digital output data.

Abstract: Provided is a speaker device for a portable terminal. The speaker device includes a speaker housing which provides a mounting space for accommodating a speaker unit and a resonating space connected to the mounting space and located around the mounting space. The speaker device solves the disadvantages of a small-size speaker unit, i.e., problems in producing a sound in a bass region, thereby producing a “live” sound. Moreover, the characteristics of a sound can be improved using the speaker housing, without addition of a separate speaker unit or addition or change of software or a circuit, thereby improving the performance of a speaker device of the portable terminal at low cost.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a recovery method in a storage system that integrates shadow page and deferred update techniques. In our invention, for update operations that occur during a transaction, update of a page in the buffer is not immediately reflected to the database, but is deferred until the transaction is committed. Instead, we store the updated buffer page in the log volume in the unit of a page. When reading a page that does not exist in the buffer from the disk, we read the up-to-date page from the database or from the log volume. Here, the log table index is used to determine whether the up-to-date page exists in the database or in the log volume and to identify the position of the page stored in the log volume if the up-to-date page exists in the log volume. The proposed invention has the following excellent advantages. It is simple and efficient because the deferred update file does not have to be additionally accessed for correct query processing.
