  • Patent number: 7670724
    Abstract: A metal-air battery includes a housing having an aperture for the passage of air and a pair of electrodes that extend from the housing. An air cathode may be interconnected with one of the electrodes and an anode may include a metal foil that is interconnected with another of the electrodes. A separator may be interposed between the air cathode and the metal foil and a barrier layer may surround the metal foil. The barrier layer may function to substantially reduce the passage of moisture to the metal foil. A method of making a metal-air battery is also presented.

  • Publication number: 20060195485
    Abstract: An apparatus, a method and a computer program product for releasing a nested savepoint on a remote node of a database management system. The to-be-released savepoint is one of a series of savepoints represented by control blocks arranged in a linked list in the creation order of the savepoints they represent. Releasing of the to-be-released savepoint begins with receiving of a request to release the to-be-released savepoint. A control block is selected such that it represents the to-be-released savepoint or the next more recently created savepoint after the to-be-released savepoint. The selected control block is merged with all other control blocks that represent savepoints that are more recently created than the savepoint represented by the selected control block. The resulting merged control block represents all of the savepoints from the most recently created to the savepoint previously represented by the selected control block.

  • Publication number: 20060136505
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing system-implemented method, a data processing system and an article for manufacture for directing a data processing system to roll back to a savepoint located in a unit of work having a boundary generated by a boundary generator. The data processing system-implemented method includes examining a savepoint status indicator associated with the savepoint, and rolling back past the boundary to the savepoint depending on whether the examined savepoint status indicator indicates rolling back past the boundary towards the savepoint is permitted.
