Title: Innovations by Inventor Kin Lau
Introduction
Kin Lau is a notable inventor based in Mountain View, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, particularly in batch processing and database management systems. With a total of 4 patents, Lau's work has had a considerable impact on the efficiency and functionality of computer systems.
Latest Patents
One of Lau's latest patents is titled "Transaction-initiated batch processing." This invention provides a system and method for initiating batch processing on a computer system from a terminal. The method generates a message from the terminal, defining a transaction to be performed on the computer system. The transaction schedules and runs a program that extracts data from the message, which is then transmitted to the computer system. The data is used to generate batch job control language, and a batch job is run on the computer system. The output of the batch job is routed back to the terminal.
Another significant patent by Lau is the "Autonomic information management system (IMS) mainframe database pointer error diagnostic data extraction." This invention outlines a method and system for autonomic IMS mainframe database pointer error diagnostic data extraction. A receiving module may receive a database name and an error detection time. An error detection module locates database pointer errors on the failed IMS database. A list module generates an Image Copy (IC) list corresponding to the failed database. A code generation module creates Job Control Language (JCL) code for the selected entries in the IC list. An execution module executes the JCL code, operating a pointer checker utility on each clean IC. A log list module locates log data sets recorded between the error and its detection, while an extraction module extracts an evaluation log list comprising evaluation log data sets.
