Patent number: 8448795Abstract: A system and method is provided for pivoting a pilot on a model train, thereby allowing the model train to maneuver around a section of a model train track having a relatively small radius. In one embodiment of the present invention, the model train includes a frame, a shell connected to the frame, at least one truck assembly, at least one pilot and at least one coupler, wherein the coupler includes a coupler assembly and a coupler arm. The pilot is connected to a pilot arm, and the pilot arm, the coupler arm and the truck assembly are pivotally attached to the frame (e.g., via common or different pivots). In another embodiment of the present invention, the model train shell includes an aperture configured to receive a pilot arm. The pilot arm is connected to the pilot, which includes an aperture adapted to receive a coupler arm. The shell aperture is sized to allow the pilot arm to pivot from side to side, and the pilot aperture is sized to allow the coupler arm to pivot from side to side.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Lionel L.L.C.Inventors: Tim Wagner, Yoo Chan Yang

Patent number: 7756904Abstract: A method and system for providing data integration of multiple data stores with diverse formats. The data integration engine accepts queries using a standard query language such as XML-QL, executes those queries against the multiple data stores, and returns the results. The data stores may include relational databases, hierarchical databases, file systems, application data available via APIs, and so on. A query may reference data that resides in different data stores. The data integration engine allows operations such as joins across multiple data stores.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2001Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Actuate CorporationInventors: Denise L. Draper, Gary Horen, Tim Wagner
