Filed:

Jan 9, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/756174

Inventors:

Peter S. Lim - Redwood City CA
Robert Broderson - Redwood City CA

Assignee:

Siebel Systems, Inc. - San Mateo CA

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

707200, 707201, 707203, 707 10

Abstract:

A method of maintaining a database. The database is a partially replicated database having a central database and a plurality of individual partially replicated databases. Updates made to the central database or to one of the individual, partially replicated databases are selectively propagated to one or more recipient partially replicated databases if the owner of the recipient partially replicated database has visibility to the data being selectively transmitted. This is accomplished by first replicating a group or records as a single logical docking object. A single set of visibility rules is applied to the data content of the entire logical docking unit. The docking object is then applied to the recipient individual partially replicated database if the owner thereof has visibility to the data being transmitted in the single logical docking object. Also disclosed are methods of controlling and logging the propagation of docking objects.

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

707201

Abstract:

A partially replicated database is maintained so that updates made to a central database, or to another partially replicated database, are selectively propagated to the partially replicated database. Updates are propagated to a partially replicated database if the owner of the partially replicated database has "visibility" to the data being updated. Visibility is determined by using predetermined rules stored in a rules database. Typically, the stored rules are assessed against data content of a plurality of tables making up a single logical entity, known as a docking object, that is being updated.

International Classification:

G10L 106

US Classification:

179 1555R

Abstract:

Improved apparatus for the linear predictive coding of human speech in which the speech is sampled through the use of analog filters and the linear predictive coding computations are performed with respect to such samples using digital techniques. The filters are MOS switched capacitor filters which can be implemented on a silicon chip together with the digital circuitry. Specific circuits for implementing two different linear predictive coding speech analysis techniques are disclosed.
