20140000329 | Dynamic disintegration enriching agents and fertilisers, their method of manufacture, and their uses in agriculture
The invention relates to a particularly basic inorganic soil conditioner containing an inorganic carbonate as the base thereof, characterised in that it comprises at least one “dynamic disintegration” agent capable of causing a breakdown, considerable fragmentation, dispersion, and considerable “dispersion” within the granule, i.e. A force inside and/or on the surface of the granule that tends to cause the granule to break down or “explode” when said granule contacts the soil, and specifically contacts the water or moisture of the soil, and in that said carbonate is preferably natural or precipitated calcium carbonate.. |

20130332428 | Online and workload driven index defragmentation
The subject disclosure is directed towards defragmenting one or more ranges of a database index based upon actual usage statistics and policy. A range tracker tracks and uses statistics corresponding to actual i/o operations to determine whether the benefit of defragmenting a range sufficiently (based upon the policy) exceeds its cost. |
