Title: The Innovative Contributions of Alvin I Pivowar

Introduction

Alvin I Pivowar is a notable inventor based in Camas, WA (US), recognized for his significant contributions to the field of computer database synchronization. With a total of 18 patents to his name, Pivowar has developed innovative methods that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of database management systems.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is the method and system for N-way synchronization of computer databases. This invention structures synchronization into three distinct rounds: an agenda round, a query round, and a report round. In the agenda round, a synchronization agent software module queries a common synchronization engine for updates and provides information regarding the agent's database. During the query round, the common synchronization engine requests information from databases with new data and distributes this information to databases that require it in the report round. This process allows multiple agents, each representing an associated database, to participate in synchronization.

Another significant patent by Pivowar is the method and system for synchronization of computer databases using caching agents. In this embodiment, information is accessed from a first database and stored in a persistent store, such as a magnetic disk. The information can be retrieved either shortly after storing or at a later time. The synchronization process is completed by updating a second database with the information retrieved from the persistent store. This method optimizes storage format and maximizes bandwidth access, making database synchronization more efficient.

Career Highlights

Pivowar has worked with prominent companies such as PalmSource Inc. and Palm, Incorporated. His experience in these organizations has contributed to his expertise in database technologies and synchronization methods.

Collaborations

Some of his notable coworkers include William Leonard Mills and Steve Hanrahan, who have collaborated with him on various projects throughout his career.

Conclusion

Alvin I Pivowar's innovative patents and contributions to computer database synchronization have significantly impacted the field. His work continues to influence the development of more efficient database management systems.
