Abstract: A database manager is disclosed that retrieves database records having binary encoded data from a database and instantiating objects in an in-memory database. Binary encoding compresses data, allowing many subrecords to be stored a single blob field of a database record. Retrieving chunks from storage reduces transfer time by reducing the size of data and the number of operations needed to retrieve all the subrecords. The database manager receives database access requests from a database application. Changes made to the database objects and committed by the application are written back to the persistent database as versioned delta records. In a subsequent session, loading the database from storage includes first loading the most recent snapshot record, then applying changes to the data stored in delta records. The changes stored in the delta records are applied to the data in the snapshot record in the order in which they were made.

Abstract: Techniques for modifying a query based on a data index of nodes in a data set are disclosed. A system modifies queries based on query terms associated with indexed data. The system modifies queries to include query terms based on indexed data or to obtain values for query terms that are not associated with indexed node properties. The system adds query terms, that reference indexed data, to a query in response to determining that none of a query's terms reference indexed data. The system derives values for query terms that are not associated with indexed node properties using a logical or mathematical formula. The system traverses parent nodes of a child node to identify values for query terms that are not associated with the child node in a data index, but are inherited from a parent node.

Abstract: A method of sending an emergency alert from a wearable device. The wearable device is connected to a low-power wide area cellular network and to global positioning services as soon as it is turned on. The wearable device receives inputs from the user and/or from at least one sensor located within the wearable device measuring parameters associated with the status of the user. A determination is then made if an emergency condition has occurred, if so, an emergency alert is transmitted to recipients based on a configured set of emergency contacts. The determining of an emergency condition occurs based on the inputs received through the wearable device or by the inputs received by the at least one sensor corresponding with a set of rules established for determining if an emergency alert should be sent.

Abstract: This relates to the manner in which computers are configured in a given area in order to conserve space and to deal with cooling issues associated with the close housing of a large number of computers. Efficient arrangements for efficiently increasing the density of computer configurations are shown, particularly when used in a network server or host environment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention blend polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) with calcium carbonate (CC) or other filler(s) to form a single or multi-layer plastic film. The result is an improved plastic film that retains the beneficial properties of conventional plastic films, but can also be easily fractured and creased. Embodiments of the invention also provide a method for manufacturing the single or multi-layer plastic film.

Abstract: Embodiment of the invention relate to a container. In one respect, embodiments of the invention provide a container that is useful in advertising because of its distinctive shape and faux pull ring, and/or because it is configured to output a jingle or other stored audio. Moreover, in embodiments of the invention, the container is configured as a cooler with a thermal insulator. Such a cooler may also include an automatic lid mechanism that allows for hands-free operation by users that seek to retrieve, for instance, a cold beverage from the cooler.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, a bottom seal of a plastic bag is strengthened by welding together 8 layers of plastic film. In one respect, an embodiment of the invention provides a bag pack that includes multiple T-shirt style plastic bags. The bag pack may be manufactured by folding a 4-layered structure into an 8-layered structure, welding a bottom edge, and then unfolding the 8-layered structure before stacking 4-layered bags into a bag pack.

Abstract: In embodiments of the invention, a T-shirt bag includes a breakout die cut between a rack hook die cut and a bag opening. Such breakout die cuts may thus limit tears from reaching the edge of the bag opening. In embodiments of the invention, a T-shirt bag includes multiple rack hook die cuts to accommodate dispensing racks having rack hooks in different positions. Such a T-shirt bag may thus enjoy wider application than conventional bags. Moreover, the multiple rack hook die cuts may further lessen the chance that a tear caused by tugging or elevated bags during loading will reach the edge of the bag opening.
