A rolling or sliding body is mounted in a freely movable manner on or in the carriage, through which the carriage can be coupled to a coupling part on the second rail. A recess is provided in the first rail into which the rolling or sliding body can be moved during opening of the drawer. The coupling part can de decoupled from the rolling or sliding body and passes along the carriage.

Abstract: The invention is illumination gear that has a strap pad slidably mounted on a strap. A battery-operated lamp is mounted on the strap pad. The strap pad with lamp may be adjusted anywhere along the strap, so as to adjust the position of the lamp to a desired height. The illumination gear may be constructed as a harness, as a vest, or as a set of suspenders. Anchor straps may be provided on the vest or the harness, to secure the straps to belt loops on a trouser waistband or to another garment, to prevent the illumination gear from riding up or shifting position.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for reorganizing a source index tree of a database table resulting in a target index tree of the database table is provided. A backup process reads source leaf pages of the source index tree in a logical order defined by a sequence of index keys. The logical order can be different from a physical order of the source leaf pages defined by a sequence of respective storage locations. The backup process constructs target leaf pages of the target index tree maintaining the logical order. A restore process constructs target non-leaf pages of the target index tree based on the distribution of the index keys among the constructed leaf pages and stores the target leaf and non-leaf pages.

Abstract: The present invention provides a heat exchanger including a stack of plates which form ducts. Each of the plates can have at least two openings which, in the plate stack, form at least one collecting duct and one distributor duct which connect the ducts in terms of flow. A base plate can be arranged on the plate stack and can have a seal for sealing off the heat exchanger and a flow deflector for manipulating flow through the heat exchanger. The seal and the flow deflector can form a common component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pull-out guide for drawers comprising a first and at least one second rail, at least one carriage with load-transmitting roller bodies being arranged between said two rails. The carriage can be coupled to the second rail, particularly when deviating from the differential course between the two rails, characterized in that a rolling or sliding body is mounted in a freely movable manner on or in the carriage, through which the carriage can be coupled to a coupling part on the second rail, and that a recess is provided in the first rail into which the rolling or sliding body can be moved during opening of the drawer, wherein the coupling part can de decoupled from the rolling or sliding body and passes along the carriage.

Abstract: A method and system for preventing redundant indexes in a database management system (DBMS). A received create-index command specifies a new index to be created for retrieving data from a table created by the DBMS and a redundancy check to be performed for the new index in conjunction with an action parameter in the create-index command. If the action parameter includes a REPORT value, each redundant index is stored and/or displayed and the new index is created. If the action parameter includes a PREVENT value and an existing index is redundant in view of the new index and the new index is not redundant in view of the existing index, the existing index is deleted and the new index is created. If the action parameter includes a PREVENT value and the new index is redundant in view of an existing index, the new index is not created.

Abstract: An example apparatus for generating acoustic waves is disclosed. The example apparatus includes a housing, and at least one plate having a moment arm, wherein each plate couples to the housing. The example apparatus for generating acoustic also includes at least one axial driver coupled to each moment arm, wherein each axial driver aligns with a longitudinal axis of the housing.

Abstract: A support construction for fixing at least one furniture drive (4) for a movable furniture part (2b, 2c) in a furniture body, said support construction comprising two lateral holding portions (6) and a transverse bearer (5) extending between the holding portions (6), wherein said holding portions (6) have fixing means for preferably releasably fixing the holding portions (6) to a respective pull-out-guide assembly (3).

Abstract: An example method for generating acoustic waves is disclosed. The example method includes activating at least one driver, transmitting force from the at least one driver to at least one moment arm, and transferring force from the at least one moment arm to at least one plate, thereby causing the at least one plate to vibrate and generate acoustic waves.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new method and system for automated I/O optimization of restored databases. At the time a backup image of the database is created metadata of the database are automatically generated. The metadata includes information about the physical database layout and disk I/O performance on a source system. Metadata and backup image of the database are then backed up on an external storage device together resulting in a new, extended backup image. In a preferred embodiment the backup image of the database includes the metadata. At the time a restore of the backup image on a target system is made the metadata and information about number and sizes of the disks on said target system are retrieved. Based on that information an optimized physical database layout for the database on the target system with respect to an optimized I/O performance is calculated. Finally, the backup image is restored on the target system according to the optimized physical database layout.
