  • Patent number: 9529934
    Abstract: XPath evaluation in an XML data repository includes parsing an input XPath query using a simple path file to generate an execution tree about the XPath query, where the simple path file includes an XML file that is generated based on the hierarchical architecture of a plurality of XML files in the data repository, and the names of the nodes in the generated XML file are generated by recording the tag information of respective nodes in the plurality of XML files in the data repository. Execution of an execution tree for the data repository generates a final evaluation result.

  • Patent number: 5544988
    Abstract: A working table includes a lateral beam having one end for securing to a drilling machine and having a longitudinal channel for slidably engaging with a bolt which is extended downward from a block. A nut is threadedly engaged with the bolt so as to secure the block to the lateral beam. A table is rotatably secured to the block by a screw. The table and the block are movable along the channel and are rotatable relative to the lateral beam when the nut is unthreaded relative to the bolt. The table may be rotated relative to the block when the screw is unthreaded relative to the block.
