  • Publication number: 20170326615
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a drainage base tray for a shower, the method including the steps of: a) providing a foldable sheet of metallic material; b) cutting a one-piece blank from the foldable sheet of metallic material; c) folding the blank along at least one folding line in order to define at least one corresponding slope within the blank, the slope having an upper portion and a bottom portion defining a sloping gradient; and d) providing the blank with a draining hole adjacent to the at least one folding line and in proximity of the bottom portion of the slope, for allowing waste liquid to drain via the draining hole of the drainage base tray. Also described is a resulting shower drainage base tray, and a one-piece blank made of metallic foldable material and having portions for manufacturing the shower drainage base tray. The present system also concerns a shower drainage kit including a grill component positioned, shaped and sized for placement over the shower drainage tray.

  • Patent number: 9756934
    Abstract: A foldable table that provides a stable operational position in which the table legs may extend beyond the footprint of the table, and a folded, storage position in which the table legs may be tucked within the footprint of the table. An aspect provides table legs that may slide and pivot within sockets of a table top, to enable the legs to lock into the extended position and to also pivot flat against a horizontal undersurface of the table top.

  • Patent number: 9038673
    Abstract: A device for making a woven article from a plurality of strings includes a base, a post, first and second engagement devices and a stabilization device. The base has a plurality of slots formed therein. The first engagement device engages first ends of the strings and is fixedly attached to the base and fixed relative to the slots, thereby fixing the first ends relative to the base. The second engagement device is fixedly attached to the base and includes a plurality of slits each configured to secure a corresponding one of the strings. The slots formed in the base are disposed between and spaced apart from the first and second engagement devices. The stabilization device is removably engageable with a selected one of the slots and is configured to engage a selected portion of the strings between the first and second engagement devices to restrict twisting of the strings.

  • Patent number: 8131533
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically generating a reporting model based on a relational database storing multidimensional data in accordance with a relational database schema. A model generator may, for example, produce a base reporting model from the database schema, and subsequently generate a user reporting model by importing the base reporting model. The model generator updates the user reporting model in response to modifications requested by a user, and maintains an activity log to record the modifications. The model generator regenerates the base reporting model and the user reporting model in the event the database schema changes, and reapplies the modifications from the activity log to the user reporting model to automatically update the user reporting model. The database schema may be a relational star schema as described herein.

  • Patent number: 7610300
    Abstract: Techniques are described for publishing multidimensional data from an enterprise software system. A relational database schema is automatically created for storing the multidimensional data. The database schema may be a relational star schema as described herein. The techniques may include processes for automatically producing the database schema based on the organization of the multidimensional data cube, and for populating the database schema with data from the data cube. The database schema may be used for reporting the multidimensional enterprise data, or may serve as a staging area to move the enterprise data toward a data warehouse within an enterprise software system. The reporting schema may support heterogeneous data types and heterogeneous formats. The reporting schema may also contain metadata that describes the schema, allowing for enhanced interpretation of the database schema. Also described is a process for automatically generating a reporting model from the database schema.

  • Patent number: 7593955
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating dimension information in hierarchical form. A computer-implemented system, for example, includes a data store having multidimensional data. The multidimensional data includes a data cube having a dimension. The system further includes an executable software module that accesses the data store and generates hierarchy data describing a hierarchy of the dimension of the data cube. The software module generates the hierarchy data so that the hierarchy data is guaranteed to aggregate to totals represented within the data cube.
