  • Patent number: 7899821
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, devices and/or systems for manipulating hierarchical sets of data are disclosed. In particular, methods, apparatus devices and or/or systems for analyzing hierarchical data are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7627591
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and/or systems of manipulating tree expressions are disclosed. In one particular example, a tree expression may represent information and/or data in one particular view among a plurality of views. Further, in another particular example, a tree expression representing information and/or data in a first view may be transformed and/or converted to a tree expression which represents the information and/or data in a second view which is different from the first view.

  • Patent number: 6055537
    Abstract: A computer structure for storing and manipulating information includes a processor, a table facility, a command facility and a memory. The table facility generates a table of prime numbers and associates a unique data structure with each prime number. The data structures include container data types such as heaps, strings, trees, tables, or any combination thereof. The table facility may further incorporate an ordered pair and a display font associated with each prime numbers. The command facility translates an inbound command from an external structure and provides a command to the processor. The processor manipulates the memory to provide a response to the inbound command. Advantages of the invention include a standard method and apparatus for creating, manipulating, and displaying data structures and container data types. The structures created are adaptable to imitate known data structures and are flexible enough to describe and manipulate new data structures.

  • Patent number: 5787432
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating, manipulating, and displaying a universal set of data structures is disclosed. A Table Facility generates and stores tokens and a Logic Processor communicates with external host programs and performs arithmetic and logical manipulations of the tokens in response to requests from the host program. The tokens can be tested and used as any currently known data structure, including but not limited to binary trees and linked lists, as well as being versatile enough to emulate new data structures. The method used to create the data structures is such that many database operations, such as comparison of files and data or their merging, proceed much faster on the present invention than known in the art.
