Publication number: 20080021914Abstract: The invention is a database adapter providing improved methods for storing and retrieving relational data. Suitable source data is structured as a table with a fixed number of columns of predetermined types and a variable number of rows. The invention reduces the space and time used to store data and the time taken to retrieve stored data. The invention is best implemented inside Object Relational Database Systems, but can also be implemented in any database that can execute routines written in programming languages such as C#, C or Java. Functionally, the invention combines the concept of nested tables with fast compression techniques so that nested tables are practical for solving a wide class of problems.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2007Publication date: January 24, 2008Inventors: Eric John Davies, Michael Stuart David Dunham-Wilkie

Publication number: 20070021003Abstract: A high speed connector includes a plurality of terminal assemblies in which two columns of conductive terminals are supported in an insulative support body, the body including an internal cavity disposed between the two columns of conductive terminals. The terminals are arranged in horizontal pairs, and the internal cavity defines an air channel between each horizontal pair of terminals arranged in the two columns of terminals. The terminals are further aligned with each other in each row so that horizontal faces of the terminals in the two rows face each other to thereby promote broadside coupling between horizontal pairs of terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2006Publication date: January 25, 2007Inventors: John Laurx, David Dunham, Timothy Elo, Gary Humbert

Publication number: 20050176307Abstract: A connector assembly is provided with opposing and interengageable first and second connector components. Each of the two components has internal cavities that contain terminal assemblies of either plug or receptacle structure and may further include either a plurality of power terminals or differential signal terminals. The terminals have contact portions, tail portions and interconnecting portions that are partially encapsulated by an insulative outer support frames. The shell forms a wafer and two such wafers are combined together to form a terminal assembly. The terminal assemblies are identical in shape, other than for an engagement means that serves to hold two subframes together as a single assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2005Publication date: August 11, 2005Inventors: Harold Lang, Kent Regnier, Emanuel Banakis, David Dunham, Robert Owsley

Publication number: 20040219464Abstract: Negative surface relief diffractive optical elements (218) are supported or formed at interior surfaces of injection molding molds (200, 916, 1002) for wireless communication device housing parts (502). Such injection molding molds are used to making housing parts that include integrally molded surface relief diffractive optical elements (504) e.g., holograms. Such diffractive optical elements can be used to convey information or for decorative effects. The negative surface relief holograms can be mechanically mounted or formed on the interior surfaces by exposing a resist on the interior surfaces to a holographic light field or a succession of laser interference patterns, and there after developing and using the resist as an etch mask.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2003Publication date: November 4, 2004Inventors: Gregory David Dunham, Thomas J.

Publication number: 20020188328Abstract: An implantable medical device and method of pacing provide for switching from a first pacing mode to second pacing mode upon detection of a period of accelerated atrial arrhythmia. Generally, the second pacing mode has an associated predetermined lower pacing rate. At least initially, upon switching from the first pacing mode to the second pacing mode, the predetermined lower pacing rate is adjusted to an elevated adjusted lower rate. Further, this elevated adjusted lower rate may then be decelerated towards a programmed basic pacing rate during a deceleration period. Generally, the programmed basic pacing rate is elevated relative to the predetermined lower pacing rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2001Publication date: December 12, 2002Inventors: Chester L.
