Abstract: A hospital operations measurement and performance analysis factory for generating analytic measures includes data sets representing business activities arranged as columnar arrays with each column being associated with a distinct source rule that applies to the column when it is used as a data source. The hospital operations measurement and performance analysis factory includes factory rules governing which operations on available data sources may be executed and under which conditions, such as by taking into account the source rules and other applicable factory rules. A factory rule execution hierarchy governs the execution of ready factory rules that lack dependency on other factory rules before executing ready factory rules that have dependency on other factory rules. An analytics measure rendering circuit facilitates flexibly presenting one or more measures of interest to a user/user role on a small form factor display.

The measure factory includes factory rules that govern which operations on available data sources may be executed under what conditions in the measure factory, such as by taking into account the source rules and other applicable factory rules. A factory rule execution hierarchy governs the execution of ready factory rules that lack dependency on other factory rules before executing ready factory rules that have dependency on other factory rules. A script generation facility generates a script to process the plurality of factory rules according to the factory rule execution hierarchy.

Abstract: Configuring guided pages in this document may include preparing a columnar-based multi-domain business intelligence data set, from a plurality of sources of data that can be independently formatted, by processing the data from the plurality of sources with a data calculation engine that organizing the columns to align with user specified and/or automatically determined dimensions that are associated with a business and populating the columns with data that relates to each of the user specified dimensions from each of the plurality of sources of data.

Abstract: Assisted analytics, facilitates responding to a user selection of a measure that is calculated from a data set that is characterized by a plurality of dimensions of data, populating, with a processor a set of dimensions of the data with dimensions that contribute at least one data value to the user selected measure by calculating, for each dimension of the data in the set of dimensions of data a measure outlier threshold for a set of timeframe-specific values of the measure. This outlier threshold is applied, for each dimension of the data in the set of dimensions of data to calculate a dimension-specific outlier factor by aggregating timeframe-specific outlier weights for each timeframe in which a timeframe-specific value in the set of timeframe-specific values exceeds the measure outlier threshold. The results of this aggregation can be displayed in a ranked list of dimensions based on the dimension-specific outlier factor.

Abstract: A spray gun includes a barrel portion and a handle portion having a control lever pivotally mounted to a lower end of the handle controlling a valve system. The spray gun includes an interchangeable fitting for receiving two fluid lines. The lever is movable between a first lockable spray position, opening the valve system to spray one fluid, and a second spray position spraying two fluids.

Abstract: The subject invention is directed to a database system for organizing large amounts of data to be accessed by a digital computer. More particularly, a free form type database, in the form of a summarized, multikey tree, is built from files stored on the computer. After a building operation, the user obtains specified information by using the summarized database. Information in the files is divided into three categories; that is, a dimension field which comprises data to be organized, a summary field which comprises a numeric quantity on which calculations can be performed, and a non-summary field which comprises other information associated with an input record. The internal nodes of the tree summarize and organize sets of input records. Methods are provided for reducing the amount of storage space used by cutting off the tree when the size of sets go below a given threshold, and sharing parts of the tree so that each record does not appear n! times in the database.
