08/396288

International Classification:

H01B 1200

US Classification:

1741251, 335216

Abstract:

Improved conductors and superconducting magnets are described utilizing superconducting materials exhibiting critical field anisotropy. This anisotropy is one in which the ability of the superconductor to stay in a superconducting state depends on the orientation of a magnetic field applied to the superconductor with respect to the direction of current flow in the superconductor. This anisotropy is utilized in the design of conductors and magnet windings comprising the superconductive material and specifically is directed to magnet windings in which the direction of high critical current through the superconductor is parallel to the magnetic field produced by current in these windings in order to obtain high critical fields. Particularly favorable examples of a superconducting material are the so-called high T superconductors in which the primary supercurrent flow is confined to 2 dimensional CuâO planes. By arranging the superconductive windings so that the CuâO planes are substantially parallel to the magnetic field produced by current in these windings, the windings will be able to withstand high fields without being driven normal.

US Classification:

719330, 719315, 719316, 719328, 717108

Abstract:

Dynamically generating a wrapper object to intercept transmissions between a vendor object and an application program and performs server side tasks. To dynamically generate the wrapper at runtime in memory, the application server receives a vendor class, performs reflection on the vendor class, generates a wrapper class, and creates an instance of the wrapper class. In operation, the dynamically generated wrapper object receives a call placed to a method of the wrapped object, initiates pre-processing tasks to be performed, calls the method on the wrapped object, receives a result from the method invocation against the wrapped object, initiates post-processing tasks to be performed, and transmits the wrapped result back to the application program. The pre-processing tasks may include execution of a pre-invocation handler. The post-processing tasks may include execution of a post-invocation handler.

International Classification:

US Classification:

711112, 707202, 707204

Abstract:

A system and a method for scheduling disk writes for use with an application server, transactional system, or other server. The disk scheduler and method is independent of the underlying operating system and the disk hardware. This allows it to be used without porting to the various settings in which application server might be deployed. In some embodiments, a high-performance, transactional filestore is also provided to minimize the latency of small, synchronous writes to disk. The implementation uses a log-structured file system combined with disk scheduling. By relaxing the requirement that log records be physically contiguous, every modification to the disk can be scheduled.

Abstract:

A system for high level dynamic hot code generation. A class file container object is first created. Methods and code are then added to the class file container object. Byte code is then generated from the populated class file container object. From the byte code, instances of the new class object can by generated. The program code generator is configured to generate code at a programming language construct level, thereby working at a level of program language statements, expressions, variables, and other constructs.

US Classification:

718101, 707 9

Abstract:

In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided mechanisms and methods for batch processing in an on-demand service environment. For example, in one embodiment, mechanisms include receiving a processing request for a multi-tenant database, in which the processing request specifies processing logic and a processing target group within the multi-tenant database. Such an embodiment further includes dividing or chunking the processing target group into a plurality of processing target sub-groups, queuing the processing request with a batch processing queue for the multi-tenant database among a plurality of previously queued processing requests, and releasing each of the plurality of processing target sub-groups for processing in the multi-tenant database via the processing logic at one or more times specified by the batch processing queue.
