Abstract: In a method for resolving a query to a database, a server computing system receives a query for retrieving objects from a client device. A candidate data set of objects is determined by applying the query to the database, the candidate data set of objects including identifiers of objects satisfying the query. The candidate data set of objects is transmitted to the client computing device as the identifiers. A request for a subset of the objects corresponding to identifiers of the candidate data set of objects from the server computing system for identifiers of the candidate data set of objects that do not match the identifiers of objects stored in the cache of the client computing device is received. The subset of objects is transmitted to the client device.

Abstract: In a method for providing business to business alcohol product distribution, a distributor maintains a virtual inventory of alcohol products at a computing system, where the virtual inventory is populated by suppliers of the alcohol products.

Abstract: A grip stabilizing hand and wrist covering includes a hand and wrist sleeve having a first side that overlies a palm of a hand and a second side that overlies a back of the hand, a finger receiving portion through which fingers of the hand can extend out from the hand and wrist sleeve when the hand and wrist sleeve is worn, a thumb opening through which a thumb of the hand can extend out from the hand and wrist sleeve when the hand and wrist sleeve is worn, and a gripping portion coupled to an outer surface of the first side of the hand and wrist sleeve substantially coincident with the palm of the hand when the hand and wrist sleeve is worn, the gripping portion providing a high coefficient of friction when placed in contact with an exercise surface.
