  • Patent number: 10467250
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detailed description of techniques for data model design collaboration using semantically correct collaborative objects. Certain embodiments comprise detecting various interaction events from designers collaborating on designing a virtual multidimensional data model to generate unit of work objects characterizing certain design transactions invoked by the interaction events. The unit of work objects are used to determine a set of committed modifications to the virtual multidimensional data model design for broadcasting to the collaborating designers. Some embodiments comprise unit of work objects based on various multidimensional data model rules, syntactic rules, semantic rules, and/or other criteria to determine valid committed modifications. Other embodiments comprise unit of work objects from multiple design transactions that are merged to determine the committed modifications.

  • Patent number: 9573738
    Abstract: A beverage container cap is revealed. The beverage container cap includes a cap body movably disposed on top of a beverage container, a waterproof gasket fixed on bottom of a valve seat with a chamber, and a pivot valve mounted in the chamber of the valve seat. A liquid through hole and at least one vent are arranged at the waterproof gasket. When a hemispherical pivot part of the pivot valve is pivotally rotated within the chamber of the valve seat to make the beverage container cap in a closed or open state, at least one lug on the hemispherical pivot part is pressed against or away from the vent of the waterproof gasket. Thereby pressure in the beverage container is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere outside while beverage in the container flows out. Thus users can drink the beverage from the container smoothly.

  • Publication number: 20070164382
    Abstract: A magnetic transistor includes a magnetic section, a thin semiconductor layer, a first metal terminal, a second metal terminal, and a third metal terminal. The thin semiconductor layer is disposed on the magnetic section. The first metal terminal is disposed on one end of the magnetic section, acting as a gate of the magnetic transistor and capable of providing a conductive channel in the thin semiconductor layer. The second metal terminal and the third metal terminal are disposed respectively on one end and the other end of the thin semiconductor layer, capable of creating a conductive region. While the magnetic transistor is turned on, a current path is formed between the second metal terminal and the third metal terminal via the thin semiconductor layer.
