Abstract: Techniques are described for prefetching analytic results across multiple levels of a dimension in a multidimensional dataset. In some embodiments, an application layer sends a request to view a summary of a multidimensional dataset, where the request targets a first level of a particular dimension of the multidimensional dataset. In response to receiving the request, a pre-fetch range is determined. The pre-fetch range identifies how many levels to analyze along the particular dimension of the multidimensional dataset. At least one analytical operation is performed for the first level of the particular dimension and one or more levels that are within the pre-fetch range of the first level. A first analytic result for the first level is returned to the application layer. For each respective level of the one or more levels within the pre-fetch range, a respective analytic result is stored in a cache.

Abstract: A trim shear is adapted to trim the front and tail ends of a hot rolled product exiting from a rolling mill along a mill pass line and travelling at either high or low speeds, depending on the size of the product being rolled. The trim shear comprises a trim station having a high speed a set of trim knives configured and arranged to trim the front and tail ends of high speed products, and a different low speed set of trim knives disposed laterally from the high speed set of trim knives and configured and arranged to trim the front and tail ends of low speed products; and the trim station is transversely shifted with respect to the mill pass line to alternatively locate either one or the other of the sets of trim knives in an active position on the mill pass line.

Abstract: A method is described in which a length of hot rolled product is decelerated in the course of being passed through the rotating curved guide of a coiler. The product exits the coiler at a reduced velocity and is delivered to and progressively accumulated on a cylindrical drum as a helical formation of rings. The drum is rotated to continuously unwind the accumulating product at the reduced velocity. The tail end of the product is retained in the coiler until substantially all of the rings previously deposited on the drum have been unwound.

Abstract: A bearing arrangement comprises first and second axially spaced oil film bearings rotatably supporting a rolling mill roll shaft. An annular pressure plate is carried by and fixed relative to the roll shaft for rotation therewith. Third and fourth oil film bearings act on opposite sides of the pressure plate to axially fix the roll shaft.

Abstract: A rolling mill rotating entry system (RES) with at least one front end-driven drum that indexes alignment of the RES guide path and drum with the bar stock transfer guide path. The front end drive system is offset from the bar stock transfer path, so that the bar stock has sufficient clearance to enter the guide path. The front end drive system facilitates desired indexed alignment of the RES guide path and the bar stock transfer path without the need for front end braking or damping systems that are customarily used with rear driven drums in known RES systems. Other RES embodiments include a rear drive system that drives the drum in tandem with the front drive system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with maintaining referential integrity while masking database columns are described. One example method includes determining a transitive closure for dependency relationships involving a column to be masked and other columns related to the column to be masked through a dependency relationship. The example method may also include identifying a root column for a column in the transitive closure and creating a mapping table that stores original values and masking values for the root column. The method includes masking the root column and related child columns based on the mapping table in a manner that maintains referential integrity between the root column and the child column. Integrity may be maintained by masking corresponding values in the root column and a child column(s) with identical mask values from the mapping table.

Abstract: Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with producing non-repeating random values for use in data masking are described. One example method includes accessing data describing a mask for a value in a database table column to be masked. The example method may also include identifying a number of distinct values in the database table column to be masked and determining a field width for a mask to provide unique random numbers to mask the distinct values. The method may include identifying locations in a mask value to store the unique random value and locations in a mask value to store filler values. The mask value may include different character sets and may comply with user specified formats. The method may include generating a set of statements that when executed produce a mapping table that includes masks for distinct values in the database table column to be masked.
