  • Publication number: 20100209657
    Abstract: A wear-proof plate structure for a side sheet of a container body comprises a wear-proof plate with a wavy cross-section and an angular bottom corner seal connected with the wear-proof plate. The wear-proof plate has a body part with at least 2 full waves. An upper end of the body part is of wave peak and provided with an interface slot which opens upward and is connected with a lower end of an internal sheet of the container side sheet by plug connection. A lower end of the wear-proof plate is of wave trough and extends to form a planar connection board. A bending portion at lower end of the wear-proof plate is provided with a plug-in slot which opens toward a wave trough direction and is connected with an upper end of a vertical part of the bottom corner seal by plug connection. Holes for mounting fastening screws are arranged in a connection board at the lower end of the wear-proof plate.

  • Patent number: 7236938
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method of refreshing metrics. The method may comprise obtaining a plurality of data elements that comprise information about a process and computing a plurality of metrics from a plurality of mappings, each of the plurality of mappings relating to an operation on at least one of the plurality of data elements. Each of the plurality of metrics may have a refresh rate. Additionally, the method may comprise analyzing the refresh rate of the plurality of metrics to identify at least one shared refresh interval between groups of the plurality of metrics, identifying at least one common mapping between the plurality of metrics, and periodically refreshing the plurality of metrics, accounting for the at least one shared refresh interval and the at least one common mapping between the plurality of metrics.

  • Publication number: 20060235838
    Abstract: A relationship and navigation data repository can interface with a central data model and contains templates that define relationships among data from a number of distributed heterogeneous data sources. An integration engine is coupled to the relationship and navigation data repository, and can receive a query command and determine which of the heterogeneous data sources and which of the templates the query applies to, and then calculate the desired query result, responsive to the command, based on the relevant data sources and templates. The distributed heterogeneous data sources are managed by a system and method that involves obtaining pre-existing definitional data, instantiating in-memory nodes for the data, initializing a relationship attribute and an entity attribute for each of the nodes, and then forming an updated navigation tree structure therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20050223032
    Abstract: Various approaches are disclosed for loading data from a vertical database table into a horizontal database table. In one embodiment, a number of rows in a vertical database table and a number of columns in a horizontal database table are determined. Entries in a first column of the vertical table contain object identifiers, entries in a second column contain attribute names corresponding to the object identifiers, and entries in a third column contain attribute values corresponding to the attribute names. The horizontal table includes a column for the object identifiers and respective attribute columns for the attributes names. One of a plurality of methods is selected and used for reading data from the vertical database table and writing data to the horizontal database table based in part on the number of rows in the vertical database table and the number of columns in the horizontal database table.
