20150026133 | PRODUCING AN IMAGE COPY OF A DATABASE OBJECT BASED ON INFORMATION WITHIN DATABASE BUFFER POOLS - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system includes a processor to copy an object of a database system. The system determines one or more portions of the object that are active and reside within a buffer pool of the database system, and copies the determined portions of the object from the buffer pool. Remaining portions of the object that are non-active are copied from database storage. A copy of the object is created from the copied object portions. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for copying an object of a database system in substantially the same manner described above. | 01-22-2015 |
20150039576 | Managing Transactional Data for High Use Databases - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system compares database transactions to corresponding performance information to identify conforming database transactions with an acceptable deviation from the performance information and outlier database transactions beyond the acceptable deviation from the performance information. The system aggregates information from a threshold quantity of conforming database transactions into an aggregated record, wherein the threshold quantity is dynamically adjusted, and generates a record for each outlier database transaction, wherein conditions for identifying the outlier database transactions are dynamically adjusted. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for managing database transactions in substantially the same manners described above. | 02-05-2015 |
20150039578 | MANAGING TRANSACTIONAL DATA FOR HIGH USE DATABASES - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system compares database transactions to corresponding performance information to identify conforming database transactions with an acceptable deviation from the performance information and outlier database transactions beyond the acceptable deviation from the performance information.

20100108860 | Techniques for Monitoring Solar Array Performance and Applications Thereof - An automated method to monitor performance of a terrestrial solar cell array tracking the sun. The solar cell system includes drive means that adjust a position of the array along different respective axes with respect to the sun using the drive means. The techniques include predicting the position of the sun during a time period, and sampling an output parameter of the array indicative of performance. The sampled data may be used to identify a fault in the solar cell array, for example a misalignment or a failure of one or more solar cells, in which case a notification of that fault may be generated for the operator or a control signal may be output for correcting the fault. Alternatively, an output signal may be sent to an external system associated with the solar cell system. Various alignment testing routines for checking the solar tracking are described. These routines may involve moving a solar cell array to a reference position at the start of, or during, an alignment routine in order to improve accuracy of position measurement during the routine. | 05-06-2010 |
20100294337 | Periodic Alignment Adjustment Techniques for Terrestrial Solar Arrays - An automated method causes a terrestrial solar cell array to track the sun. The solar cell system may include motors that adjust a position of the array along different respective axes with respect to the sun. An alignment analysis procedure, e.g., a find sun routine, is performed to ensure that the solar cell system is properly aligned with the sun during solar tracking. This procedure may sweep the solar cell system along determined paths (e.g., azimuth and elevation paths) while measuring an output parameter indicative of system performance. The measured data is analyzed to determine if the solar cell system is in misalignment in which case the solar cell system is moved into proper alignment. The alignment procedure may be implemented on a periodic basis or using triggers, and maybe automatically executed or manually executed. | 11-25-2010 |
