Abstract: A method of removing uncommitted changes made to stored data by a database management system, wherein the system stores a duplicate copy of data prior to effecting changes to the original copy, and upon failure of the system, or a transaction or transactions effecting the changes replaces the copy containing uncommited changes by the duplicate copy, characterised in that, in the case of failure of the system to replace the original copy (ie in the case of a backout failure), the system prevents subsequent attempts by the system to further change the data until the uncommitted changes have been removed by a process of backout failure processing, and wherein a batch backout utility program uses a set of system log records to bracket the duration of the backout failure for a particular file to track:  whether the system completed its backout failure processing;  which transactions had failed backout; and which transaction was the first to have a backout failure.

Abstract: A square multi-pipe once-through boiler in accordance with the present invention has a structure wherein a feed path of air for combustion, a combustion space and an exhaust gas path passing through a flue are formed on substantially the same plane. A burner duct (5) and a blower (4) are disposed in an arbitrary zone of side wall portions (S1 ∩ S4) defining the width of a boiler main body (1) of the boiler described above so as to make compact the boiler as a whole. The boiler main body (1) is equipped with a water pipe assembly (A) consisting of a plurality of water pipes (10) disposed substantially in longitudinal lines and is constituted so that the combustion gas flows in the crossing direction with respect to these water pipes (10). A burner (3) is disposed sideways of the water pipe assembly (A) in the proximity of the water pipe (10) of the first lines (l1) of the water pipe assembly (A) so that even when the fuel supplied from the burner (3) is ignited in the space between the water pipe (10) of the first line (l1) and the burner (3), combustion is not complete in this space and almost all of its unburnt gas are burnt completely in the flowing process between the water pipes. Such a combustion system is also effective for reducing NOx and CO.

Date Nov. 11, 1982.In a method and an apparatus for forage processing, in order to accelerate its drying process, mown stalk material is fed to rotating pressing elements (7, 7a, 7b), which consolidate the stalk material into a mat of stalk material. In order to produce an inherently stable mat of stalk material, the thickness and density of said mat are to be held constant, independent of the quantity of stalk material supplied by a mowing or collecting means (1), and the forage constituents within the mat are to be better mixed. To this end, the volume of stalk material fed to the pressing means (7) and a conveying speed of the pressing elements (7a and 7b) are continuously transmitted to a control means (20) as measured values, and on the basis of these parameters the conveying speed is reduced by means of the control means (20) in the case of a small quantity of stalk material accumulating (FIG. 1).

Abstract: Apparatus for welding longitudinal seams in can bodies includes a lower electrode wheel 10 mounted on an arm 18 and an upper electrode wheel 12 mounted on an arm 20. Metal Blanks bent into a tubular form are supplied to the nip between wheels 10,12. The apparatus also includes a transducer 40 for detecting vertical displacement of wheel 12, a pair of pick-ups 46,48 for detecting the rotational positions of wheels 12,10, and a single processing circuit. In order to determine the profile of one of the wheels 10,12, the output of transducer 40 is divided into a set of traces, each of which corresponds to a single rotation of the wheel. The traces are then averaged to produce an averaged trace, which represents the profile of the wheel. In order to determine weld thickness, the profile of each wheel, in turn, is subtracted from the output of transducer 40 to produce a corrected output which provides a good indication of weld thickness.
