  • Publication number: 20180212376
    Abstract: An electrical connector configured to be electrically connected with a mating connector, including an insulating body, having a mating cavity enclosed by a top plate, a bottom plate and two side plates, allowing an insertion portion of the mating connector to be inserted backward therein. Multiple accommodating grooves are formed on the top plate and the bottom plate. A front end of each side plate is concavely provided with a groove communicating with the mating cavity. Multiple terminals are correspondingly accommodated in the accommodating grooves. A shielding shell is fixed to the insulating body. A mating port is enclosed by front ends of a top wall and two side walls of the shielding shell, and is larger than the mating cavity. Two protective members are correspondingly accommodated in the grooves. A front end of each protective member is spaced from the front end of the corresponding side wall.

  • Patent number: 9990231
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of resource pre-configuration includes obtaining, at a target system, configuration information about a resource that is predicted to be used by a transaction which will be executed on the target system. The resource is configured, at the target system, based on the configuration information. The configuring is before the transaction requests use of the resource.

  • Patent number: 9980401
    Abstract: A locking apparatus for an enclosed electronic device locking or releasing a latching member includes a rotating assembly, a sliding member defining a notch, an elastic member, and an electromagnet. The rotating assembly comprises two brackets and a rotating member. The rotating member comprises an opening. Opposite sides of the opening define a pulling portion and a resisting portion. Opposite ends of the elastic member connect to the pulling portion and the sliding member. The latching member resists against the resisting portion to rotate the rotating member. The sliding member moves to the latching member by the elastic member to make the notch engage with the latching member. The notch is removed from the latching member by the electromagnet, the sliding member pulls the elastic member to rotate the rotating member. The resisting portion resists against the latching member to remove the latching member from the sliding member.

  • Patent number: 9948024
    Abstract: A protecting cap structure of a charging gun has a cover, a push plate, a fixing seat, at least one first resilient element, and a gland. The push plate is moveably mounted in a containing groove of the cover. The fixing seat, the first resilient element, and the gland are mounted in the containing groove. The first resilient element and the gland are respectively mounted on both sides of the push plate, and the first resilient element abuts and pushes the front side of the push plate. The protecting cap structure not only improves water resistance and dust resistance by the gland which is propped by the resilient element when the cover covers the plug of the charging gun, but also is easy to use because the resilient elements push forward the cover when the cover is to be removed.

  • Publication number: 20180089246
    Abstract: Data records may be managed in a relational database by monitoring, a record length for a first data record in a page of memory, an amount of free space in the page, and a page length. In response to receiving an operator command to replace the first data record with a second data record, a database management system may determine whether an estimated record length of a compressed second data record is outside of the amount of free space in the page. In response to determining the estimated record length of a compressed second data record is outside of the amount of free space in the page, the database management system may determine whether an estimated length of a compressed page is outside of the page length. In response to determining the estimated length of a compressed page is within the page length, the page may be compressed.

  • Publication number: 20180075940
    Abstract: A light source module is adapted to perform a light irradiation process on an object. The light source module includes a transparent cover, a reflector and a light emitting unit. The reflector covers the transparent cover, and the reflector and the transparent cover define a containing space. The light emitting unit is disposed inside the containing space. A perpendicular working distance from the transparent cover to the object is WD, a semi-minor axis of the reflector is A, and a semi-major axis of the reflector is B, wherein WD=2A-3 to 3.5A-3, and B=2A to 2.5A.

  • Publication number: 20180067974
    Abstract: An approach for index B-tree page creation associated with linear sequential insertions in database management systems (DBMS). A linear pre-splitter receives a current index leaf page for linear sequential insertion. The linear pre-splitter asynchronously creates index leaf pages where the current index leaf page is in a predetermined position at least one page away from a last index leaf page. The linear pre-splitter updates index leaf page position identifiers associated with the index leaf pages where the index leaf page position identifiers link the index leaf pages and the last index leaf page and the linear pre-splitter inserts index leaf page identifiers and index key metadata associated with each of the index leaf pages into index non-leaf pages.

  • Patent number: 9909389
    Abstract: A flapper valve includes a body having first and second end, and a flapper pivotably coupled to the body and movable between a closed position, where the flapper prevents fluid flow through the body, and an open position, where fluid flow is allowed through the body. A first torsion spring is coupled to the body at the second end and provides a spring arm that engages and urges the flapper to the closed position. A support beam is coupled to the body and includes an axial extension that extends axially past the second end. A closure beam having a first beam end is pivotably coupled to the axial extension and a second beam end is engageable with the flapper. A second torsion spring is coupled to the axial extension and engageable with the closure beam to urge the closure beam into engagement with the flapper.

  • Publication number: 20170322957
    Abstract: Allocating free space in a database table. Statistics associated with records in a database are received, including an average record byte size for records stored in the database table. A primary free space byte size for record updates is determined, including comparing a preliminary free space byte size to the average record byte size and a byte size of a record subjected to a database operation. Based on the primary free space byte size, free space at the page level of the database table is allocated.
