Publication number: 20240091561Abstract: A radiation therapy system is disclosed. The radiation therapy system includes a gantry, a first radiation source, and a second radiation source. The gantry is configured to have a cavity extending in a direction along a rotation axis, and the cavity is configured to house a target object. The first radiation source is mounted on the gantry, and configured to emit a treatment beam to a treatment area of the target object. The second radiation source is mounted on the gantry, and configured to emit an imaging beam to an imaging area of the target object. The treatment area partially overlaps the imaging area. A rotation plane of the first radiation source and a rotation plane of the second radiation source are distributed in a direction along the rotation axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: CAN LIAO, BO CAI, LING-QING MEI, ZHI-DU ZHANG, CHENG NI, WEI ZHANG

Patent number: 11100098Abstract: A business intelligence (BI) server is described that supports data and schemas stored in multiple languages. The BI server implements a lookup table and lookup function that allows users to work with queries in different languages. When the user logs in, a session object is created for the user, which maintains the state information. A session variable specifies the language currently being used by the user. The BI server can inspect this session variable to determine the language of the user and perform the lookup translations as necessary. For example, if the language used by the session is different from the language of the base table storing the necessary information, the BI server can perform a translation by invoking a lookup function. The execution of the lookup can include performing a join operation of the base table with the lookup table to yield a translated value requested by the query.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Roger Bolsius, Raghuram Venkatasubramanian, Ling Ni, Donko Donjerkovic, Saugata Chowdhury

Patent number: 10935498Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluorescent probe for detecting nitroreductase and a preparation method and use thereof in enzymatic reactions, belonging to the field of industrial analysis and detection. The fluorescent probe is 3-(4-(2-(4?-(diphenylamino)-3-((4-nitrobenzyl)oxy)-[1, 1?-biphenyl]-4-yl)vinyl)quinolin-1-ium-1-yl)propane-1-sulfonate. The fluorescent probe of the present invention, with the introduction of hydrophilic groups, sulfonate and quinolinium, the probe's hydrophilicity is enhanced, under the enzymatic catalysis of nitroreductase (NTR), 1,6-rearrangement and elimination reaction occurs, and hydroxyl group is generated. Detection and analysis of the NTR in the industrial enzymatic reactions can be realized due to the change of fluorescence which is induced by the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: SOUTH CHINA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Shuizhu Wu, Lingfeng Xu, Ling Ni, Fang Zeng

Patent number: 8458206Abstract: A business intelligence (BI) server and repository are described which support a set of customized and/or calculated data members. In accordance with an embodiment, the BI server maintains a connection to a plurality of data sources which may store a set of dimension members. The data source can be relational, file storage based, multidimensional and other types. In accordance with an embodiment, the BI server can accept queries from the user that contain calculated members as a parameter. The calculated member is defined by an expression including multiple dimension members and one or more arithmetic operators. The BI server can parse and validate the query and rewrite the query for the data source. After the query is rewritten and optimized, it is executed against the data source and a set of results is received.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Roger Bolsius, Raghuram Venkatasubramanian, Ling Ni, Donko Donjerkovic, Saugata Chowdhury

Patent number: 8326857Abstract: A business intelligence (BI) server and repository are described which support a set of hierarchical relationships among the data. The BI server receives user input specifying a set of parent-child or other ancestral relationship among a set of data in a data source. The BI server generates a set of SQL queries and executes the queries to pre-populate a set of tables which specify the parent child relationships among the data in the data source. One such table is a parent-child relationship closure table that defines the inter-member relationships among the data members. Once the tables are populated, the BI server uses the closure tables to answer queries that require knowledge of the ancestral relationships among data.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Roger Bolsius, Raghuram Venkatasubramanian, Ling Ni, Donko Donjerkovic, Saugata Chowdhury
