Abstract: Provided are a system and a method for data retrieval which
identify from requested data retrieval operations those operations which
require a particular processing task to be performed, and then separate
those operations from operations not requiring the processing task. The
separated sets of tasks are queued separately for independent processing.
This enables resource scheduling to be performed which avoids the
operations which do not require performance of the task from having to
wait for the operations which do require the task. This is an advantage
where the task is a processor-intensive task such as digital watermarking
of images. 
     A particular resource allocation method includes enqueuing the set
of operations requiring the processing task in a circularly linked list
and then employing a scheduler to implement a round-robin allocation of
resources for each of the system users in turn. 
     Also provided is a pre-fetch policy whereby sets of data objects
are retrieved from a data repository for processing in response to data
retrieval requests and post-retrieval processing such as watermarking is
initiated before an individual data object in the set has been selected.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système informatique de calcul du type, du nombre et du volume d'instruments financiers afin de financer le prêt d'un débiteur avec des produits équivalents, le prêt étant un prêt devant être partiellement refinancé pendant la durée restante au terme du prêt. La durée restante au terme du prêt est déterminée au début de chaque période de manière que pendant toute la durée au terme du prêt, les remboursements du débiteur se trouvent à l'intérieur d'une bande définie par un ensemble de limites supérieure et inférieure pouvant être définies pour chaque période, et de manière que la durée restante au terme du prêt se trouve également à l'intérieur d'une bande définie par une limite supérieure et une limite inférieure. De plus, les versements sur un instrument spécial, un instrument de garantie de remboursement, sont déterminés, ledit instrument de garantie de remboursement étant conçu pour assurer que des limites maximales données de remboursement et de durée au terme sont respectées, s'ajou ant aux instruments financiers précités. Les versements à partir de l'instrument de garantie de remboursement sont effectués dans des situations dans lesquelles les limites maximales de remboursement et de durée au terme auraient été autrement dépassées. De même, les versements effectués sur l'instrument de garantie de remboursement sont exécutés dans les situations dans lesquelles les remboursements et la durée au terme se trouveraient autrement au-dessous des limites minimales de remboursement et de durée au terme. Les résultats des calculs peuvent être employés par un prêteur, par exemple une institution de financement telle qu'une institution de crédit hypothécaire, afin d'assurer que ce type de prêt est financé de manière à éviter ou à réduire au minimum les risques portant sur les taux d'intérêts ainsi que les déséquilibres dans les flux de paiements.

Abstract: A drive apparatus, in particular for the automatic actuation of a
sliding door of a motor vehicle, comprising a fast running motor, the motor
shaft of which is connected to a transmission with a large step-down ratio, the
transmission having a first gear wheel which can be secured against rotation,
via a releasable blocking device, and a second rotatable gear wheel which is
rotationally fixedly connected to an output drive shaft and which is rotatable
relative to the first gear wheel by the rotation of the motor when the first gear
wheel is blocked, with the number of teeth of the first gear wheel only
differing by a few teeth from the number of teeth of the second gear wheel and
with the large step-down ratio being determined by this difference of the tooth
numbers. By releasing the blocking device, the step-down ratio of the
transmission changes. In particular a step-down ratio of 1:1 results. The
transmission is thereby capable of being driven in reverse, so that a manual
actuation of the sliding door of a motor vehicle is possible, without the
requirement for a releasable clutch device between the sliding door and the
drive apparatus.
