Patent number: 10275502Abstract: An interactive reporting tool allows the user to define, modify, and selectively execute a sequence of queries in an interactive manner. A sequence of queries is entered into rows of an interactive query code table. When the user selects a given row i or a cell in a given row i, then the data table is updated to show the results of the queries 1 through i, such that the user effectively can step through the queries in any order (i.e., sequential or non-sequential, forward or backward) to see the results of each step.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Opera Solutions USA, LLCInventors: Christian Hubmann, Ding Huang, Amir Bar-Or

Patent number: 10186288Abstract: A method of forming a TAMR (thermally assisted magnetic recording) write head that uses weakly plasmonic materials that are mechanically strong and thermally stable to create plasmon near field energy. The replacement of highly plasmonic materials like Au with a weakly plasmonic material like Rh avoids the thermal deformations of softer metals like Au. To maintain the performance of the head, it includes pre-focusing structures that concentrate plasmon energy as it moves towards the air bearing surface (ABS). A waveguide blocker at the distal end of the waveguide enhances the plasmons at the interface between the blocker and the dielectric material at the distal end of the waveguide. A pair of symmetrically disposed optical side shields (OSS) are formed to either side of the pole tip and a weakly plasmonic optical field enhancer of sharply defined line-width further strengthens the optical field at its point of application.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Headway Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Weihao Xu, Cherng-Chyi Han, Weisheng Hu, Shengyuan Wang, Wen-Ding Huang, Ittetsu Kitajima

Publication number: 20170351511Abstract: Code and data versioning allows developers to work on code and data without affecting production code and data and without affecting the development activities of other developers. Code and data being worked on by a developer are associated with a task. The system automatically determines the dataset to use for a given development task from among a production dataset, a latest dataset, or a temporary dataset associated with the development task so that development code does not have to be modified to read from a specific dataset.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2017Publication date: December 7, 2017Inventors: Amir Bar-Or, Yuansong Liao, Laks Srinivasan, Ding Huang, Hong Wang

Publication number: 20170286526Abstract: A sequence of queries is divided into stages, where each stage involves one pass over the data, such that the sequence of queries can be executed using the minimum number of passes over the data. The sequence of queries may be processed into a functional dependency graph that represents the relationships between query parameters (signals) and query operations, and the functional dependency graph then may be processed to divide the queries into a number of successive stages such that each stage includes queries that can be executed based on data that exists prior to execution of that stage. A sequence of queries may, and often does, require that one or more intermediate values or datasets be generated using an aggregate function.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2017Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: Amir Bar-Or, Yuansong Liao, Laks Srinivasan, Ding Huang, Hong Wang

Patent number: 8988419Abstract: A method of using parametrical representations in modeling and animation is disclosed. This method is built directly on the inherent properties of parametric curves. Parametric curves are constructed and associated with geometric models, while at the same time the properties are used to represent the underlying mechanism of deformation. This method includes the steps of building parametrical representations on a geometric model, associating vertices of the model with different ones of the parametrical representations to effect movement thereof, and animating movement of the vertices to simulate relative motion therebetween. The invention discloses a method in which simulation of object interaction and object deformation can be integrated into a unified framework through skeletal trees. The method preprocesses a graphic object and segments the object into a number of contexts at surface slope and curvature discontinuities. Then, control points are generated to represent these contexts.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2001Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Inventor: Ding Huang

Patent number: 5953924Abstract: An apparatus, thermal storage system and method for heat exchange using a tube-type heat exchanger. A rod or rods are propelled to moves over the inner surface of the tube. The moving rod is in contact with a first process liquid which is adjacent the inner surface as a falling film or by flooding the interior of the tube. The flooded mode is particularly useful where the tube is non-vertical or the heat exchanger is used to make an ice slurry for HVAC systems serving high-rise buildings. Multiple such rod and tube assemblies are operated simultaneously using a drive plate powered to execute an orbital motion in a plane generally orthogonal to the rods. In one form the plate is coupled via a crank to equiangularly space spaced rods in each tube. This form of orbital drive allows the use of a device to develop an auxiliary radial force, such as spring mounts extending between a central, rotating shaft mounted in each tube and the rod or rods for that tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1998Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: Y.
