Patent number: 12353922Abstract: A data request that references an external data environment object (foreign object) is identified. A Data Manipulation Language (DML) statement for accessing the object is traversed in a defined order to identify foreign servers having the foreign object. Connections are attempted to foreign servers in the defined order and a selection to one of the foreign servers is made based on server and/or data conditions. The selected server is used for the request to process the portion of the request that includes the foreign object. In an embodiment and during execution of data request, the server and/or the data conditions can be dynamically overridden to change selection criteria for the selected server.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: July 8, 2025Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventors: John Jeffrey Mayrack, Sriram K.

Patent number: 11682838Abstract: A multiband antenna structure having an open rectangular box shape is arranged to provide identical electrical lengths for all of its radiating elements notwithstanding that the physical dimensions of portions of the multiband antenna may not be identical. Advantageously, such a multiband antenna may be interleaved with a 5G antenna array having unequal spacing between the 5G antennas or having an offset between at least one of the rows and the columns. This may be achieved by incorporating a dielectric material in at least one radiating element, by forming a radiating element with a serpentine shape, by having a radiating element follow a chicane, by incorporating a reflector of a 5G array, or by employing capacitive coupling.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Inventors: Jerome Plet, Zied Charaabi, Thomas Julien, Jean-Pierre Harel

Patent number: 11611151Abstract: An active passive antenna arrangement as made up of an array of 5G antennas interleaved with multiband antenna structures that may be low band (LB) passive antennas. The 5G antenna array may be a mMIMO active array. The LB antennas are formed using conductive elements on thin supporting sheets that fit within the space between the 5G antennas. The substrates, and hence the radiating elements of the LB antennas, may be arranged so as to generally appear to form four sides of a rectangular box with the top and bottom surfaces removed. Thus, the LB antennas may be thought of as having been “slipped in” amongst a preexisting array of 5G antennas. Each LB antenna may surround one or more of the 5G antennas and 5G antennas of the array may also be external to an LB antenna.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: NOKIA SHANGHAI BELL CO., LTD.Inventors: Jerome Plet, Zied Charaabi, Thomas Julien, Jean-Pierre Harel, Aurelien Hilary

Patent number: 10042674Abstract: Capacity of a database system and/or a computing system that includes a database can be effectively changed from a current computing capacity to another computing capacity. This can be achieved by causing usage capacity of at least one of resource to be changed when the database is active. By way of example, capacity of a database system can be regulated by delaying the execution of the database work based on a target capacity. As a result, database work can take relatively longer to complete when the capacity of a database is effectively regulated to be below its full capacity. In effect, a portion of available capacity (excess capacity) can be made inaccessible to the database. However, excess capacity can be used to manage various services of the database in accordance with one or more service criteria (e.g., Service Level Goals or Agreements).Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventors: Douglas P.
