Title: Combining scalability across multiple resources in a transactional processing system having global serializability
Filed: 2012-07-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for processing transactions requested by an application in a distributed computer system. The computer system has at least one resource comprising a plurality of storage areas each with an associated resource manager, or a plurality of resources each comprising at least one storage area each with an associated resource manager, the storage areas holding the same tables as each other. A transaction manager is linked, by a network or a local application programming interface (API), to each of the resource managers, the transaction manager is configured to coordinate transaction prepare and commit cycles. The application requests operations on the resource by way of an interface, and a dispatch function directs transactions from the application to the appropriate storage areas on the basis of the content of the tables in the resource managers, in such a way that any given transaction is routed only to the storage areas containing entries upon which the transaction operates, allowing another transaction operating on different entries to be routed concurrently in parallel to other storage areas. A safe timestamp manager is provided to allocate new timestamps for committing transactions when such transactions access more than one resource storage area at the same time.

Title: Inverter controller and method of controlling an inverter
Filed: 2013-05-03
Abstract: An iterative feedback process for optimising the switching frequency of an inverter based on predetermined lower and upper operating temperature limits. Different lower and upper temperature limits exist for the inverter ripple temperature Tripple and peak temperature Tpeak values. The upper temperature limits represent the failure temperature threshold. The method of controlling the switching frequency vs of the inverter comprises steps of: measuring/computing a signal indicative of a temperature variable at a first switching frequency to determine a measured/computed temperature variable for example Tripple or Tpeak ; comparing the measured temperature variable to a first temperature threshold and also a second temperature threshold, which may be lower than the first threshold; determining if the measured temperature variable is below the first threshold, and if so, calculating the temperature variable at a second switching frequency vs, which may be higher than the first switching frequency; if the temperature variable calculated at the second switching frequency is less than the first threshold, setting the switching frequency of the inverter to the second switching frequency 406, which may be higher than the first switching frequency. If the measured temperature variable is found to be between the first and second threshold then the step is repeated after a predetermined time, based on the system sampling rate. If the measured temperature variable is found to be above the first threshold then the switching frequency is reduced 404. The steps of reducing the frequency can continue until a minimum frequency is obtained, to prevent excess audible noise. The method may further involve online temperature measurement. The inverter may be suitable for use with a motor drive.

Title: A method and apparatus for manufacturing profiled elements
Inventor: BONDPERS PER-ERIC
IPC: B28B5/00
Filed: 1980-04-09
Granted: 1984-09-20
Abstract: In a method of manufacturing profiled elements from a hardenable mass such as concrete, using a casting machine (1), the mass is discharged from said machine in the form of a continuous casting via an exchangeable nozzle (1a), which determines the profile shape of the casting, whereafter the casting is cut into elements (8) of desired lengths To enable rational handling of the profiled casting and automatization of the production sequences without stocking in relation to hardening of the elements, the profiled casting is discharged onto a transport unit (10) provided with an endless movable belt (12) and cut. The belt (12) is caused to stop and the actual transport unit moved further in a circuit path (A-K) during which the element is hardened, and after hardening discharged from the transport unit, whereafter the empty transport unit is returned to the starting position for receiving a further profiled casting from the casting machine (1) When the casting is fed onto the transport unit and the hardened element (8) discharged there from, the belt (12) is driven by means of an external drive source (21) which, to this end, is connected to one of the belt-turn shafts (21a) of the endless belt. The belt can also be driven when the transport unit passes a cleaning station (1) during its return to the delivery station (A) after curing of the casting. To enable the available space to be used in a more rational manner when hardening the castings, preferably a plurality of transport units, for example four such units, are stacked one over the other in a frame prior to said hardening process, and transferred, thus stacked, to a hardening storage site (E), said transport units being de-stacked subsequent to said hardening process, whereafter the finished profiled elements (8) are discharged The invention also relates to apparatus for manufacturing profiled elements by means of the method according to the invention.
