Patent EP-1256889-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HOTTI TIMO
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-05-07
Abstract: The invention relates generally to the management of distributed databases, and
more particularly to a method and an arrangement associated with managing
database schemas and configuration of software that uses those schemas. The
objective of this invention is to present a method and a system, which allows
managing database schemas and application software in large distributed multi-database
systems and avoiding problems that are related to the prior art systems.
The objective of the invention is attained by using configuration manager apparatus
(231), which is external to the configuration and databases being managed (200).
The objective of the invention is preferably also attained by providing a mechanism
for keeping multiple, possibly different database schemas and application software
in synchronization. The external configuration management node (231) manages
the configuration management replicas (203, 213, 223) in each part (201, 211, 221)
of the distributed database system (200). These synchronized configuration
management replicas comprise scripts that are used for creating and/or updating the
schemas of the database nodes and configuration of software that uses these
database nodes (202, 212, 222)

Abstract: Brushless motor (43) is provided which includes an outer stator (78) and an inner rotor (75) having a plurality of permanent magnets (84). One or inner surface (74b) of the outer stator (78), opposed to the inner rotor (75), is covered with a cover (85) formed of a magnetic material and in the shape of a cylinder of a small wall thickness. The magnetic cover (85) has a plurality of slits (85a) inclined with respect to the rotational axis of the inner rotor. Magnetic portions (85c) formed or left between the slits (85a) of the cover (85) are also inclined with respect to the rotational axis of the inner rotor. With such magnetic portions, boundaries between magnetic poles are virtually inclined with respect to the rotational axis of the inner rotor, so that undesired cogging torque of the motor can be minimized.

Abstract: Motors are driven to sequentially move a fixed mirror
from an origin or a current position thereby to measure
amplitudes of a laser fringe by a photo detector. When
a signal satisfying a reference value is obtained at some
position, amplitudes are measured on a circle around the
position as a center. Apoint having the largest amplitude
among all the measured points on the circle is set as the
center of a next circle and so the similar measurement
is repeated until the amplitude at the center of a circle
becomes maximum among all the measured points on the circle.
When the amplitude at the center of the circle becomes
maximum among all the measured points on the circle, the
motors are driven so that phase differences of a vertical
side signal and a horizontal side signal from a reference
signal approach a target phase difference.

Abstract: The sewage separation system, to give a light phase and/or heavy components, has a sewage feed (12) into a coarse separation stage (100). A major portion of the light phase is gathered into a collection vessel (7) using density differences and/or the heavy components are separated in a sludge trap zone (1).

Abstract: A method for detecting decrease in internal pressure of a tire
mounted to a vehicle on the basis of rotational information obtained
from the tire. The method includes the steps of: detecting the rotational
information of the respective tires; storing the rotational information of
the respective tires; calculating a front and rear wheel ratio which can be
obtained on the basis of rotational information of both front wheels and
rotational information of both rear wheels of the vehicle; calculating a
driving wheel torque of the vehicle; and obtaining a value of the front and
rear wheel ratio when the driving wheel torque is zero on the basis of a
relationship between the front and rear wheel ratio and the driving wheel
torque. It is possible to shorten the time for obtaining effective front
and rear wheel ratios.

Abstract: A data processing system (10) has a single configurable write buffer (22) within a peripheral
interface unit (18) that is shared among multiple peripherals 934, 36, 38). Configuration registers
(28) are dynamically programmed to control criteria for determining whether control of a system bus
will be released prior to completion of a write access to a peripheral. The criteria include which
peripheral is being accessed, the particular bus master that is requesting the write request, and a mode
of operation, such as supervisor or user write access modes. Write buffering may also be
dynamically disabled for individual peripherals based on the state of a peripheral by using a hardware
side band signal driven by the peripheral to override a static buffer write policy programmed in
control registers.

Abstract: A scan-print device (100) is hand-held and is scanned over the surface of a
paper-like rewritable sheet (200). The sheet (200) has a colorant responsive
to a linear array of pixel-sized electric fields written over the sheet by the
scan-print device (200) during each scan, producing a bistable pixel (e.g.,
black or white) in response to field polarity. The bi-stable, rewritable colorant
is highly energy efficient, requiring energy only to change an image, not to
hold or illuminate it. Once a series of scans sufficient to cover the entire
sheet has been made, the printed image appears as if printed conventionally.
The print remains stable until reprinted or intentionally erased. Combined
with hand-held scanner-copier technology, a portable copier is also
implemented.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring at least one network connected
device (monitored device) using a controller is disclosed. More specifically, a
method and apparatus for easily creating device objects representing the monitored
device is described. Initially, the controller/monitoring system attempts to establish
communication with the monitored device. If the controller cannot be configured
to interface with the monitored device, configuration information, such as
manufacturer, model, and a unique identifier from the monitored device are
obtained. In the process of determining the configuration information, a
determination is made to find out if the monitored device is supported by the
controller using information from System Support Database (SSD). A device
object is created using information from the SSD, thus establishing a
communication protocol between the controller and the monitored device
Subsequently, configuration information for the monitored device is updated in the
System Configuration Database (SCD).

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a first
pattern detecting mechanism, a memory, and a pattern
identity determining mechanism. The first pattern
detecting mechanism detects a background dot pattern
embedded in a background image included in image data of
an original image from the image data. The memory stores
an anti-copy background dot pattern. The pattern identity
determining mechanism compares the detected background
dot pattern with the anti-copy background dot pattern
stored in the memory and determines that the detected
background dot pattern is identical to the anti-copy
background dot pattern stored in the memory.
