Abstract: Method and computer system for logically evaluating a Boolean expression used in a query statement to optimize the query. The Boolean expression refers to an attribute and includes a plurality of conditions. The Boolean expression is received (410) and decomposed (420) into the plurality of conditions. For each condition at least one condition value referring to the attribute is extracted (421) from the condition. The at least one condition value is then inserted (422) into a condition value list in sorted order. A relationship vector of the at least one condition value is initialized (423). Then the relationship vectors of the at least one condition value and of each further condition value that is in the condition list and that is in the value range of the condition are adjusted (424). After having processed all conditions the Boolean expression may be reducing (430) according to each relationship vector. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for transferring SCCP messages to one of a plurality of entities in an entity set. The method receives a SCCP message from which a traffic type for said received message is determined. A global title associated with said received message is then translated to a destination entity set. For each entity in the destination entity set, a maximum allowed rate for receiving messages of said traffic type at that entity and a current rate for transferring messages of said traffic type to that entity are determined. The method then determines a sub-set of entities for which the current rate is smaller than or equal to the maximum allowed rate. If the subset contains at least one entity, the method selects one entity from the sub-set and transfers the SCCP message to said selected entity. The invention also provides an advanced signaling transfer point STP. <IMAGE>

Abstract: RFID tags attached to a product contain information regarding the product and communicate this information to a reader. This information can include the age of the product, the amount of product left and preparation or care instructions for the product. To record the age of a product, a timer is initiated in the RFID tag. Thereafter, the elapsed time on the timer can be read and displayed by the reader. For other products, the RFID tag can have contacts monitoring the level of remaining product. Once the contacts sense that the amount of product is low, this information can be transmitted and communicated by the reader. Preparation and care instructions are prerecorded on the tag. Instructions can also be communicated between a product and a base, such as a heater.
