Abstract: A data query and reporting method and system are provided. The method and system allow non-technical computer users to build and execute complex database queries. The method and system accommodate the need for a simple, easy-to-understand interactive and iterative means for generating and validating database queries. The method and system reduce the complexity and costs associated with retrieving useful information for organizations of all sizes, especially smaller businesses. The method and system support a robust security model, enabling organizations to protect sensitive data while providing broad data access.

Abstract: A graphical user interface and method of use thereof that allows users to interact with an entity relationship model. The user interface includes zones that allow users to navigate among the entities, roles and fields to create queries that are run against the model. Clicking on an entity in the shows the available fields for the entity. Users can drag and drop entities and fields onto a design surface to quickly and easily build queries. Rules are applied when either an entity or a field is dropped onto the design surface based upon the item being dropped (either an entity or a field), the position of the drop and also the properties that are associated with the item. Entities may be grouped and filtered to sort and limit the results of the query. After query is run, the results may be displayed in a separate area to the user.

Abstract: A preferred path between two selected entities is determined. Initially, there is provided a representation of the data structure in the form of a plurality of entities having relations between them indicative of roles and the relations reflecting a cardinality of one of a one-to-one, one-to-many and a many-to-one relationship between the entities. A query is entered that provides an indication of a first selected entity and a second selected entity. A preferred path is selected through the entities and relations that couples the first selected entity to the second selected entity. The preferred path is selected from a plurality of paths as a function of the number of changes in cardinality along the plurality of paths and a indicator indicative of a preferred role relating two entities.

Abstract: A surgical apparatus for guiding the position of a medical device to a desired location includes an outer sleeve, a tether, and at least one elastic anchor hook engaged with the tether. The tether may be slideably moveable within the outer sleeve. Additionally, the anchor hook is configured to anchor into bone at the desired location. In certain embodiments, the anchor hook is elastically deformable from an unstressed curved shape to a deformed straightened shape. The anchor hook may be deformed to the straightened shape when positioned within the outer sleeve and may reform to the curved shape upon deployment from the outer sleeve. In certain embodiments, a rod surrounds part of the tether and is used for threading through medical devices to advance the medical devices to the desired location. Additionally, a deployment button may be used to deploy the anchor hooks from the outer sleeve.

Abstract: A shaving process for obtaining a closer shave and reducing the subsequent appearance of five o'clock shadow involving the steps of: (a) providing an unshaven skin surface; (b) providing a pre-shave composition containing at least one skin-abrading agent; (c) contacting the unshaven skin surface with the pre-shave composition to form a treated skin surface; (d) removing the pre-shave composition to form a clean, treated skin surface; and (e) shaving the clean, treated skin surface to form a shaved skin surface.

Abstract: An insect station for luring insects, baiting insects, trapping insects, monitoring insects or any combination of these functions includes a cover that can be moved to provide access to selected insect suppression devices, such as glueboards or baited pads. The insect station may have two changeable pad areas situated facing each other to provide a compact design. In addition, a base portion of the station may have a wall access opening to facilitate applying insecticide behind a wall. The insect station of the present invention may be used with any combination of attractant pads, bait, and glueboards, as well as many other insect suppression devices.

Abstract: Disclosed are cosmetic or dermatological compositions that include a mono-hydroxyl substituted amine such as dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), a sulfonic, phosphoric, or phosphonic acid derivative, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. Also disclosed are methods for making and using the compositions.

Abstract: A soil conditioner has been developed that includes a bacterial culture endogenous to plants that includes nitrogen present from 0.20 weight percent per volume, 30 to 250 milligrams per liter phosphorus and 400 to 20,000 milligrams per liter of potassium. The soil conditioner stimulates earthworm population growth and activity in a treated soil. The soil conditioner also has applications as a livestock nutrient supplement and as a degradant for oil spills. A process for preparing a soil conditioner involves composting a manure with at least one plant fermentation inoculant to yield a composted mixture. The composted mixture is then fermented in combination with a nitrogenous protein source and seaweed.

Abstract: A closure apparatus (1) for covering an opening (2) in a storage tank comprising: (a) a connector to connect the apparatus to the silo in the proximity of the opening (2); (b) a cover (10) to cover the opening (2), said cover having a projection (11) forming a leading edge of the cover (10), (c) an elongate guide member having a guide surface (13a, 14a), the cover (10) being slidingly engaged with the guide member and movable along the guide surface (13a, 14a) from a first position adjacent the opening (2) to a second position covering the opening (2); and (d) an actuator (4,5) to move the cover between the first position and the second position; wherein the projection (11) removes debris on the guide surface (13a, 14a) during movement between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A fine filter assembly for a dishwasher includes a filter body having an inlet and an outlet located substantially adjacent to one another, and an extended flow path joins the inlet and the outlet so that essentially an entire length of the filter body is used for filtration. The flow path is sloped from the inlet to the outlet and extends substantially 360 radial degrees around a circular outer perimeter of the filter body. Therefore, wash fluid naturally flows from the fine filter inlet to the fine filter outlet all the way around the filter body, and substantially the entire filter body is flushed when the fine filter is drained and a main pump assembly is energized.

Abstract: In one aspect, a dishwasher comprising a control mechanism coupled to a sensor for generating an output representative of whether sufficient water has flowed into the dishwasher during a fill operation is described. The dishwasher comprises a tub and a fluid circulation assembly for circulating water in the tub. The control mechanism is configured to determine whether terminate a current wash cycle based on a signal output by the sensor.

Abstract: A dryer tumble drying articles includes a drum including a cavity configured to hold articles to be dried, a first motor drivingly coupled to the drum to rotate the drum, a heat source in flow communication with the cavity, and a variable speed motor drivingly coupled to a blower positioned to deliver heated air from the heat source to the cavity.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions useful for skin and/or hair care that contain a retinoid in which the retinoid remains stable over a sustained period of time.

Abstract: A dispenser is provided which includes a body including a trough, and a cover attached to the body and including a flow path extending into the trough.
