Publication number: 20130086119Abstract: In an EclipseLink environment, persistence units are associated with a single data source. However, in accordance with an embodiment, a user can define multiple persistence units, each with a different set of entity types (i.e., classes) stored in multiple data sources, and expose them through a single composite persistence unit which combines the entities from across the multiple data sources through a single persistence context. A plurality of different types of data sources can be used, including Java Transaction API (JTA) and non-JTA data sources as well as EclipseLink's native JDBC connection pools. Each member persistence unit continues mapping its classes to its own data source. Therefore, a composite persistence unit allows one to map different entities to different data sources. Composite persistence units can be created at runtime.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2011Publication date: April 4, 2013Applicant: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Andrei Ilitchev, James Sutherland, Douglas Clarke

Publication number: 20120109795Abstract: A method and apparatus of maintaining time information for a multi-tasking customer service agent is disclosed. One example method of operation may include maintaining time information allocated to a plurality of tasks. The method may include receiving a first task and starting a first timer at a computing device corresponding to the beginning of work performed on the first task. The method may also include receiving a second task and starting a second timer different from the first timer, which corresponds to the beginning of work performed on the second task. The method may further include transferring a total time allocation record representing a total time counted by the first timer and a total time counted by the second timer to a data record stored in memory, wherein the data record associates the total time counted by the first timer with a corresponding task, and associates the total time counted by the second timer with a different corresponding task.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Inventor: Mark James Sutherland

Patent number: 7438363Abstract: A bridge that is attached to a wheelchair such that the bridge allows a wheelchair user to have support for ingress into and egress from the wheelchair without assistance and without the need to rely primarily on arm strength alone. The bridge is a generally L-shaped member that has a pair of aligned slits located on a lower portion thereof such that respective connection members pass through each slit and attach the bridge to a frame of the wheelchair the connection members allowing the bridge to be pivoted out of the way when needed.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2007Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Inventor: James Sutherland

Patent number: 7329337Abstract: Filters that remove particulate and other solids from fluids often come in various sizes and include various types of seals. However, filter bases to which the filters are attached are generally manufactured to accommodate only one specific size of filter including one type of seal. A filter base of the present invention includes a filter attachment portion and a sealing portion. In order to expand the different sizes of filters that the filter base can accommodate, the sealing portion includes a first annular sealing surface with a relatively small diameter and a second annular sealing surface with a relatively large diameter. The two sealing surfaces can be any combination of radial and a face sealing surfaces. The filter base is used for filtering fluids, such as fuel, in an internal combustion engine.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2003Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventor: James Sutherland Millar

Publication number: 20070201797Abstract: Glass-based micropositioning systems and methods are disclosed. The micropositioning systems and methods utilize microbumps (40) formed in a glass substrate (12 or 100). The microbumps are formed by subjecting a portion of the glass substrate to localized heating, which results in local rapid expansion of glass where the heat was applied. The height and shape of the microbumps depend on the type of glass substrate and the amount and form of heat delivered to the substrate. The microbumps allow for active or passive micropositioning of optical elements, including planar waveguides and optical fibers. Optical assemblies formed using microbump micropositioners are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2006Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventors: Richard Grzybowski, Brewster Hemenway, Lawrence Hughes, Stephan Logunov, Kamjula Reddy, Joseph Schroeder, James Sutherland

Publication number: 20060272713Abstract: A microfluidic device is disclosed comprising a body of refractory material having one or more fluid passages of millimeter-or sub-millimeter scale defined therein and at least one tube of refractory material embedded in said body, the tube having a millimeter- or sub-millimeter-scale passage therein and first and second ends. The tube is desirably, though not necessarily, of a material having a higher softening point than the material of the body. The tube may optionally include a narrowed or “drawn down” portion along the length or at an end thereof to provide extremely fine structure. By shaping depressions or holes to receive the tube in layers of refractory material that are fired or sintered to form the device, the tube can be assembled together with the layers and fired or sintered to form a consolidated refractory microfluidic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2006Publication date: December 7, 2006Inventors: Sean Garner, James Sutherland

Publication number: 20060072875Abstract: A transverse closed-loop fiber resonator (10) includes an inner cladding (102) having a surface (300) peripherally forming a closed-loop shape for confining light to the surface (300). The inner cladding has a first diameter thickness (104) and a first index of refraction profile in a cross-sectional portion of the transverse closed-loop fiber resonator (10). A ringed-core (120) corresponding to the closed-loop shape is disposed on the corresponding surface of the inner cladding (102). The ringed-core (120) has a second thickness (124) of material thinner than the first diameter thickness (104), and a second index of refraction profile greater than the first index of the inner cladding by an index delta in the cross-sectional portion of the transverse closed-loop fiber resonator such that the ringed-core can guide light within the ringed-core traversely around the closed-loop shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2004Publication date: April 6, 2006Inventors: Venkata Bhagavatula, Sean Garner, James Sutherland

Patent number: 6959406Abstract: Block error rate (BLER) measurements are made on a mobile telephone handset without imposing an undesirable processing burden on the handset. An information block flow is maintained by sending repeated message blocks from a test set which are defined at a selected layer in the protocol stack below the topmost layer. Ack/nack messages sent by the handset in response to the message blocks are monitored to determine whether the message blocks have been correctly transported, and thus derive the BLER. The message blocks sent by the test set can either be empty GMM_INFORMATION messages, or LLC frames with invalid frame check sequences.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2001Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter James Sutherland Goldsack, Gerard Fitzpatrick, Abijah M. Perkins

Publication number: 20050149555Abstract: Instructions are generated to manipulate target objects and relationships in a relational database when a source object having a one-to-many relationship of privately owned type with the target objects is manipulated. To generate instructions, mapping meta-data is used which contains information as to how object classes of the object model map to tables in the database and how relationships map to foreign keys.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventors: Yaoping Wang, James Sutherland

Publication number: 20050125458Abstract: The Chronological Data Record Access (“CDRA”) is an internal chain that is used in a Memory Based Database Environment (MBE) to propagate records stored in volatile memory to other mirrored systems, databases, disks, etc. The CDRA associates the latest modified version of a data record and is used to process modified records without the need to queue or move the data image. The CDRA creates support in a shared-nothing environment and time-sequenced handling of information updates so that all entities may work with current information in a timely fashion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2003Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: James Sutherland, Leonard Ellis
