Patent number: 7139745Abstract: A TEFP-FEC system provides an efficient technique for storing, updating, locating, and retrieving data. In particular, data may be stored in a persistent, user-defined, shareable in-memory database table. Once this in-memory database table is created and loaded with data, data may be located in the table. When a search request specifying a number of results to be retrieved from a desired starting point is received, the data is located in an in-memory database table. Then, the specified number of results from a desired starting point are returned. The data is retrieved from the in-memory database table by retrieving stored descriptors corresponding to search terms in the search request. The stored descriptors are mapped to location information in a header area of an in-memory database table. Using the location information data is retrieved either from a data area of an in-memory database table or from a relational data store.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2002Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lee Evan Nakamura, Stewart Eugene Tate

Patent number: 7103836Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for managing Internet presentation materials in a single file format for ease of administration while presenting to an Internet requestor only those portions of the file requested, for maximum performance. Also disclosed is a system and method for presenting Internet materials using borderless presentation areas, where the background specification is decoupled from the presentation area specification. The invention also relates to a system and method for using a dynamic web page builder to generate and manage multiple instances of information to be simultaneously displayed in multiple presentation areas, in which one of the presentation areas contains table of contents information listing various selectable web pages stored in a single file. The table of contents information is continuously displayed on-screen when any of the items listed in the table of contents is selected for ease of navigation through a web site.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2000Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lee Evan Nakamura, Stewart Eugene Tate

When a search request specifying a number of results to be retrieved from a desired starting point is received, the data is located in an in-memory database table. Then, the specified number of results from a desired starting point are returned. Furthermore, data that is accessed via an in-memory database table is updated upon receiving an update request. The data that is updated may either be data in a data area of the in-memory database table or may be relational data. When data is updated, a high speed index used to access the in-memory database table is also updated.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lee Evan Nakamura, Stewart Eugene Tate
