  • Patent number: 7844642
    Abstract: A method for importing data from an XML document containing a plurality of elements and a plurality of attributes into a relational database includes: creating an element table for storing data of the plurality of elements and creating an attribute table for storing data of the plurality of attributes. In the element table, element records, each containing a unique element ID, are stored, one record for every one of the plurality of elements is stored. In the attribute table, an attribute record for every one of the plurality of attributes is stored. Each attribute record includes an attribute name, an attribute value and the element ID of the element to which the attribute is assigned. The method provides a fixed database model for different XML documents; allows a simple creation of a database; and allows simple data import and export into/from the database.

  • Publication number: 20030115552
    Abstract: An improved translation system is provided that allows users to view screen objects of a user interface in different languages even though the screen object's visual elements are stored in an immutable image file (e.g., .gif or bitmap). To accomplish this, a method and system automatically generate a number of immutable image files, each containing text in different languages. These files are then made available to users so that they may select a preferred language in which to view the screen objects of the user interface.

  • Patent number: 6157192
    Abstract: A prescan process is performed in which an EPI pulse sequence acquires a series of pilot images. Each pilot image is acquired with a different slice selection refocusing gradient and a rephasing map is produced which indicates the optimal refocusing gradient to be used for each pixel. The rephasing map is used to determine the optimal refocusing gradient amplitudes to use in a subsequent scan to reduce signal drop out caused by susceptibility gradients.
