Patent number: 8826248Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for integrating at least one analytical or modeling driver into an existing business analytic environment. The system comprises a BAMS (Business Analytics and Mathematical Sciences) driver, implemented on the memory device and run by the processor, loads a real database driver and redirects a request from a client application to the real database driver. An extension driver, invoked by the BAMS driver, provides an interface to a data modeling or processing software and converts the interface from a software environment compiled by a programming language to another software environment targeted to another programming language. The extension driver extends or overrides functionalities of the BAMS driver. Implementing the BAMS driver and the extension driver in the existing business analytic environment do not require any change made on the existing business analytic environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Adendorff, Heng Cao, David L.

Patent number: 7525809Abstract: A packaged electrical system includes an enclosure and a main interior volume for component supports. The component supports may support electrical, electronic, power electronic and similar components, as well as switchgear and the like. A main power wireway is provided adjacent to the main interior volume of the enclosure for accommodating three phase power conductors. A network and control power wireway is formed separately from the main power wireway. The network and control power wireway may be formed toward the rear of the main interior volume, and may accommodate plug-in connections between component supports and network conductors and control power conductors. The network and control power wireway is thus accessible through a separate door from the main power wireway.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2005Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Herberto Bergmann, Arnaldo Hiroyuki Omoto, Luis Ricardo Luzardo Pereira, José Batista Ferreira Neto, David L.
