Patent number: 11899667Abstract: The invention provides a time-efficient way of performing a query in a database or information retrieval system comprising operations such as intersection, union, difference and exclusive disjunction on two or more sets of keys stored in a database or information retrieval system. In a novel execution model, all data sources and operators are tries, and in input trie for a higher-order set operation can be the output of a lower-order set operation which is evaluated on demand. Two or more input tries are combined in accordance with the respective set operation, to obtain the set of keys associated with the nodes of a respective resulting trie. The physical algebra of the implementation of tries based on bitmaps corresponds directly to the logical algebra for the set operations and allows for efficient implementation by means of bitwise Boolean operations.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: CENSHARE GMBHInventor: Walter Bauer

Patent number: 7770429Abstract: In a method for producing a coupling on a pipe, preferably consisting of copper or steel or Cu—, Ni—, Fe— alloys, by way of a preferably graduated or one-stage expansion of the pipe end to create a much larger difference in diameter, an expansion tool is introduced axially into the end of the pipe. Once the expansion tool has been introduced into the pipe end, the region of the pipe end that is to be or has been expanded is completely or partially compressed, by a force acting axially on the pipe end, so that the external diameter of the pipe end that is to be processed is delimited by one or more shaping jaws that completely or partially surround the pipe end. The invention also relates to a device for producing a coupling on a pipe end according to the method.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2004Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Witzig & Frank GmbHInventors: Walter Viegner, Jr., Walter Bauer
