Title: Incremental and collocated redistribution for expansion of an online shared nothing database
Inventor: CLIFFORD AUSTIN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-12-13
Abstract: This invention relates to a system, method and computer program product for redistribution of data in an online shared nothing database, said shared nothing database comprising a plurality of original partitions and at least one new partition. The method comprises identifying two or more collocated tables in the original partitions to be redistributed over the original partitions and at least one new partition, said tables having data rows, each data row residing on a partition governed by a distribution key. New tables are created in the new partition and a UNION ALL view of all the data from both the original and new tables using the check constraints is created, said check constraints based on the distribution keys. A loop of intervals is defined over the distribution key range, and a data mover performs data movement of each data row over the current distribution key interval from the original tables to the new tables. The check constraints are altered for each distribution key interval so that the UNION ALL view is preserved thereby ensuring collocation and data integrity is maintained. Looping back for the next distribution key interval is performed until all the distribution key intervals have been processed such that all the data has been moved to the new table whereby collocation and data integrity is maintained, redistribution is transparent for queries performed on the database, and tables are fully available during redistribution for read and write.

Title: Inflatable dam with vibration suppressor
Inventor: MASON DONALD
IPC: E02B7/00
Filed: 2014-02-27
Abstract: A vibration suppressor for an inflatable dam is provided by either a deflector 10 or a spoiler. The inflatable dam is formed from a flexible membrane (4 figure 8) anchored into a sluice in a waterway. A base 9 may be permanently secured to the membrane by cement applied between a flat surface 12 and the membrane. The base may have a dovetail groove 14 which can receive a dovetail 21 formed on the deflector 10 so that the foil forming the deflector is deployed with a surface sufficiently perpendicular to the flow of water overtopping the inflated bladder. The base 9 and the dovetail 21are shaped and dimensioned to be resiliently deformable so that the deflector 10 is retained against the load imposed by a normal head of falling water. However, the base 9 and dovetail 21 can flex resiliently so that a gap 17a opens sufficiently to release the deflector 10 when a threshold load is exceeded. The threshold load may be exceeded when debris entrained in the water falls on the deflector or at very high water flow rates. This alleviates the risk of damage to the dam and facilitates repair of the deflector.
