  • Patent number: 11604789
    Abstract: A system is described that receives a query model of a query that includes one or more query commands. The query model includes a command model that corresponds to at least query command of the one or more query commands. The system uses the command model to generate an interactive action model summary and causes a user interface to display the query and the interactive action model summary in a query actions panel. A modification to the query in the user interface causes an update to the query actions panel and a modification to the action model summary causes an update to the at least one query command of the query.

  • Patent number: 10884978
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of translating programming language patterns into database schema patterns. Examples of a programming language pattern include but are not limited to a source code pattern, an intermediate language code pattern, metadata associated with a source code pattern, metadata associated with an intermediate language code pattern, or any combination thereof. The programming language patterns may define objects that are included in an object model. Database schema patterns that define a database are automatically (e.g., inferentially) created based on respective programming language patterns that define objects of an object model. The programming language patterns are automatically mapped to the respective database schema patterns.

  • Publication number: 20150003886
    Abstract: A lipstick painting tool having a cover sleeve that is moveable between a proximal position exposing painting bristles and a distal position covering the painting bristles. The cover sleeve is moveable through relative rotation of the same along a base shaft such that engaged internal and external threads cause movement along a longitudinal axis. The paint bristles are part of a tip that is removable and replaceable. The tool may include an extension coupling for receiving an extension tool. A central paint tube may be included to supply paint directly to the bristles from a paint reservoir as by pump or similar means.

  • Patent number: 8600925
    Abstract: A balance is provided between automation of repetitive database creation and configuration efforts, on the one hand, and flexibility to depart from prior configurations, on the other hand, to assist developers with aspects of database initialization. An application domain includes data context instances, database connections, object models mapped by an object-relational mapper, and database initializers. Upon the first attempted runtime use of a particular database connection—data context instance—object model combination, a database initializer is invoked. Initializers may check to see if the database exists, (re)generate a database and schema based on the object model, determine whether the database is compatible with the current object model, delete the database and its schema, seed data, modify database indexes, and/or migrate an existing database, for example. A custom initializer can run developer-supplied code as desired to place the database in a known state for use by the application.

  • Patent number: 8595175
    Abstract: Fluent API Patterns promote balance in managing object persistence. Code which obtains an object-relational mapper session contains API Patterns that manipulate persistence ignorant objects using calls to a fluent interface. When the developer's code executes, it may manipulate an object state, a property state, and/or a persistent relationship of the persistence ignorant object. The code may implement API Patterns such as find-change-save, current-value-original-value, nested-property, incremental-graph-load, incremental-graph-filtered-load, property-modification, dictionary, and/or other API Patterns. Additional examples of API Patterns include an API Pattern to read current, original, and database values for all properties of an entity; an API Pattern to set current and/or original values from another object; and an API Pattern to create a cloned object containing current, original, and/or database values.

  • Patent number: 7302584
    Abstract: An anti-computer virus system is used to enforce the banning of computer programs. A user is provided with a tool for creating their own banned computer program identifying data. The user-created data is then used to control the anti-virus system to identify banned computer programs and take appropriate banned computer program actions. The banned computer program identifying data can be encrypted with an organization's private PGP key such that it will only be capable of successful decryption and use upon computer systems within that organization bearing the corresponding public PGP encryption key.
