Abstract: Systems and methods described herein support tag based request context in a cloud infrastructure environment. Cloud administrators do not generally have the ability to restrict resource usage in existing clouds. Granting a user permission to create resources allows them to create and/or terminate any number of resources up to a predefined account limit. Tags are associated with requests for resources for allowing administrators to restrict a user's handling of resources to the appropriate level by allowing fine-tuned control of access to the resources based on the context of the request for the resources. Request context information of the request is compared against a required credential gate level for permitting handling of resources in a tenancy having the first privilege level classification, and the request is selectively granted based on the request context information matching the first required credential gate level.

Abstract: An installation for managing a database, the database having a database filter to provide the data sought in response to a query defining the filter and at least one data hierarchy of at least three hierarchical levels. The installation includes an interrogator to provide at least one query defining a filter to select data sought by using the database filter. The installation includes a representation of a hierarchy table that includes, for each hierarchised datum, the data on which it is dependent, regardless of the number of hierarchical levels separating them, the data being contained in a separate record of the table which also contains the hierarchised datum. During an interrogation on the basis of a query pertaining to hierarchised data, the database filter provides a response to the query formulated on the basis of the hierarchy table without resorting to external interrogation tools.

Abstract: A method of interrogation or modification of a database having a plurality of tables each with fields and relationships between the fields of various tables, the method including: filling in a single privileged table; filling in at least one field in another table for which data are sought or to be modified; filling in at least one filter pertaining to a field of another table allowing the selection of the data sought or to be modified; identifying in the database, using the input fields and the fields appearing in the input filters, the tables containing these fields; identifying in the database, using the input fields and the fields appearing in the input filters, the relationships between these fields of various tables; reformulating a query to the database by stating in full the fields, the identified tables, joins representative; and applying the query to the database.

Abstract: The method of making a dental device or the like which involves starting with a pattern of the device to be made, closely surrounding that pattern with a settable material to form a unit with the pattern, separating the unit and removing the pattern therefrom, filling the thus produced space with settable material of the type desired for the ultimate device, setting that material and removing the set material constituting the device to be made, and in particular utilizing a retention device to enclose the settable materials and other contents. The process is particularly useful when the device is to be made of a light-sensitive material, in which case the retention device and the first-used settable material are light-transmissive and the retention device preferably focuses light on the material to be set.

Abstract: The invention provides for a system where a viscous material such as dental composite is heated by various means and is injected into a mold of optically clear self curing material such as silicone or polyvinylsiloxane. This mold is contained in an optically clear glass or other such optically clear retention device that is keyed to allow for the sections of the mold to come together such that there is not rotation or gap between the sections. This will allow that no distortion of the finished product will occur. The outer surface of the retention device is formed in a manner of a focusing lens that will direct the curing light energy directly upon the material contained within the mold. The shape of the retention device can be of any shape from a sphere to any parabolic shape or configuration with the intention of the invention, such that when light energy is in use, it will focus on the mold with the greatest intensity.
