Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, computer program-product, and system for generating predicate-weighted histograms in a database management system. Further, the methods, computer program-products and systems in accordance with the present invention generate histograms that are biased towards the predicate literals of the queries that are submitted to the database management system. The resulting histograms will improve query performance by generating histograms with greater resolution near predicate literals that represent the queries submitted to the database management system.

Abstract: A summary of activity transpiring in at least one messaging conversation is presented on a region of a display in a summary window. Each messaging conversation summary includes one or more infographics indicating in real-time whether participant activity in the respective conversation is increasing or decreasing over time. In this way a user can monitor a single window in a single display rather than many windows occupying a series of displays. In some implementations the user may designate one or more of the summaries as an active window. The active window may include more information in its summary that the summaries for the remaining messaging conversation summaries which are not designated as active windows. In some cases the additional information included in the active window which is not available in the non-active windows includes the ongoing conversation of the participants.

Abstract: The information made available in a series of chat windows which each represent a different chat room is summarized and displayed in a single chat window summary screen. In this way a user can monitor a single window in a single display rather than many windows occupying a series of displays. When one of the chat room summaries indicates something of interest to the user, the user may return to a view of the entire chat window for that chat room. In some implementations the user may designate one or more of the chat room summaries as an active window. The active window may include more information in its summary that the chat room summaries for the remaining chat room summaries which are not designated as active windows. In some cases the additional information included in the active window which is not available in the non-active windows includes the ongoing conversation of the participants.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new device that converts rotary motion to a unidirectional force by varying the speed of rotation of a plurality of masses that rotate in apposing directions around a common axes of rotation and are perpendicular to that axes. This invention also provides a means of support for said device. It also provides for a means of controlling the relative speed of the masses as they rotate in opposite directions.
