Patent EP-1594869-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAZUROV ANATOLY A
IPC: C07D471/08
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to 3-substituted-2-(arylalkyl)-1-azabicycloalkanes, methods of preparing the compounds and methods of treatment using the compounds. The azabicycloalkanes generally are azabicycloheptanes, azabicyclooctanes, or azabicyclononanes. The aryl group in the arylalkyl moiety is a 5- or 6-membered ring heteroaromatic, preferably 3-pyridinyl and 5-pyrimidinyl moieties, and the alkyl group is typically a C1-4 alkyl. The substituent at the 3-position of the 1-azabicycloalkane is a carbonyl group-containing moiety, such as an amide, carbamate, urea, thioamide, thiocarbamate, thiourea or similar functionality. The compounds exhibit activity at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), particularly the alpha7 nAChR subtype, and are useful towards modulating neurotransmission and the release of ligands involved in neurotransmission. Methods for preventing or treating conditions and disorders, including central nervous system (CNS) disorders, which are characterized by an alteration in normal neurotransmission, are also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for treating inflammation, autoimmune disorders, pain and excess neovascularization, such as that associated with tumor growth.

Title: Reattribution de l'appartenance dans une base de donnee de type   shared nothing
Inventor: BAMFORD ROGER J
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-07-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne différentes techniques permettant d'améliorer la performance d'un système de base de données de type « shared nothing » (sans partage), dans lequel au moins deux des noeuds mettant en oeuvre le système de base de données « shared nothing » ont un accès commun à un disque. De manière plus spécifique, l'invention concerne des techniques permettant de modifier l'appartenance des données dans une base de données « shared nothing » sans modifier l'emplacement des données dans la mémoire persistante. Le fait que l'emplacement des données dans la mémoire persistante n'est pas modifié pendant un transfert d'appartenance des données, permet de transférer plus librement l'appartenance, et avec moins de baisses de performance qu'avec une relocalisation physique des données. L'invention concerne également diverses techniques permettant une réattribution rapidement exécutée de l'appartenance. Du fait que la réattribution peut être effectuée pendant l'exécution, il n'est pas nécessaire de déconnecter le système « shared nothing » pour effectuer la réattribution. Ces techniques décrivent en outre de quelle manière la réattribution peut être effectuée afin d'obtenir une granulation relativement fine, et d'éviter la réattribution massive de grandes quantités de données dans tous les noeuds, lorsque la réattribution de l'appartenance se limite à quelques éléments de données dans un des noeuds.
