Title: Methods for ensuring referential integrity in multithreaded replication engines
Inventor: HIGHLEYMAN WILBUR H
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2004-06-30
Abstract: During replication of transaction data from a source database to a target database via a change queue associated with the source database, one or more multiple paths are provided between the change queue and the target database. The one or more multiple paths cause at least some of the transaction data to become unserialized. At least some of the unserialized data is reserialized prior to or upon applying the originally unserialized transaction data to the target database. If the current transaction load is close or equal to the maximum transaction load capacity of a path between the change queue and the target database, another path is provided. If the maximum transaction threshold limit of an applier associated with the target database has been reached, open transactions may be prematurely committed.

Abstract: A current measuring apparatus comprises a current detection unit 10 and a photoelectric converter 20. The current detection unit 10 comprises an optical fiber sensor 11 extended or looped around a conductor 30. A reflective film 12 is attached to one end of the sensor 11 so that light can be reflected by the end of the sensor. The current detection unit 10 further comprises a first Faraday element 13, a light-transmitting birefringent member 14, a first optical fiber 15, a second optical fiber 16 and a lens 17.  The Faraday element 13 rotates a plane of polarization of the incident light through about 22.5°. The birefringent member 14 functions to separate the light emitted from the sensor 11 into an ordinary ray L1 and an extraordinary ray L2 that are orthogonal to each other, and to transmit linearly polarized light L0 emitted from a light source. The lens 17 is provided between the element 13 and the birefringent member 14.  Focal points of the lens are formed at core portions of an input end 11a of the sensor 11 and an end face 15a of the first optical fiber 15. With this arrangement, the number of components is reduced and the apparatus is reduced in size.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une diode laser comportant une pluralité de couches épitaxiales semi-conductrices formées sur un substrat. La diode comprend une couche générant de la lumière disposées entre deux couches de matériau de type n. Une mince couche de matériau de type p est intercalée entre la couche active et la couche de type n. La diode comprend une couche de matériau dopé n disposé contre un substrat. De plus, la diode laser comprend une couche active disposée entre la couche dopée n et une couche de matériau dopée p. Une couche supplémentaire de matériau dopée est disposée entre la couche dopée p et un contact. Ce contact est polarisé, ce qui induit une recombinaison des trous et des électrons dans la région active et produit de la lumière. La lumière voyage le long de la couche active, de la couche dopée p et dans les deux couches dopées n. La présence d'une couche dopée n entre le contact et la couche dopée p réduit l'ampleur de l'absorption de photons dans la diode laser. Il en résulte des améliorations en termes de rendement énergétique, de besoins en courant et de longévité de la diode laser. Les couches adjacentes dopées p et dopées n comprennent des couches tunnel qui permettent à un courant tunnel de s'écouler régulièrement bien que la jonction soit soumise à une polarisation inverse.
