Abstract: A gallery-set of controls and actions containing pre-built logic is provided for building applications, projects and solutions in a database program. The gallery may include the most commonly used controls that may account for the main logic scenarios in the database program. The controls may be simple, clear and intuitive, such that users with little or no programming experience may be able to develop solutions in the database program using the gallery controls without having to enter any coding environment or having to build complicated logic expressions. The gallery may allow users to build a complete solution by adding the predefined controls from the gallery to the design surface of a solution without opening a code editor, and the code behind the control may be automatically built into the solution. The solution code may also be accessible for later modification by a user in the database program.

Abstract: XML data is associated with an XML schema file defining XML data types and data type definitions for applying XML data to the document. An XML data map is prepared that relates that any XML data applied to the document back to corresponding XML elements or attributes defined in the associated schema file. When the document is imported into a spreadsheet application grid, the data map is parsed to find XPATHs in the imported spreadsheet document of XML data and the user entered data. After an imported document has been edited, or after a document is created to include the application of XML data in association with a selected XML schema file, the document may be exported such that the XML data applied to the document is maintained for subsequent import and use of the document.

Abstract: Data presented in a hierarchical format is rendered in a form allowing the data to be imported into a spreadsheet document where the data can be modified and new data can be added. A data file containing the hierarchically formatted data is selected for importing. A mapping relating a plurality of elements within the hierarchical data to a plurality of respective locations in the spreadsheet document is accessed. The hierarchical data is rendered in the spreadsheet document according to the mapping. Input is received to modify the hierarchical data rendered in the spreadsheet document. The mapping is updated to include the modifications to the hierarchical data. The modifications to the hierarchical data and the updated mapping are exported for subsequent rendering in a second spreadsheet document according to the updated mapping.

Abstract: Extensible markup language data in an extensible markup language (such as XML) is associated with a schema file for defining data types and data type definitions for applying data to the document. A map is prepared that relates that any extensible markup data applied to the document back to corresponding elements or attributes defined in the associated schema file. When the document is imported into a spreadsheet application grid, the data map is parsed to find XPATHs which determine the location, data types and user data for each cell or list object in the document related to the schema file. The cells and lists are populated with the extensible markup data and user data, and rendered according to formatting dictated by the extensible markup data applied to the document. The document may be exported such that the extensible markup data is maintained for subsequent import and use.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for importing markup language formatted data into a spreadsheet document and for exporting markup language formatted data from a spreadsheet document.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for mapping markup language data and schema, such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML) data and XML schema, to selected fields (cells, columns, rows) of a spreadsheet application document. An XML schema file is associated with a spreadsheet application document by providing a mechanism of adding the schema definitions to the spreadsheet application document. Furthermore, XML schema constructs such as elements, attributes, and simple content are associated to regions in the spreadsheet application document by providing a tree view structure of a generalized instance of a given XML schema file. A user may drag and drop markup language nodes representing elements, attributes and simple data content, from the tree view structure of the generalized instance of the XML schema file onto a spreadsheet worksheet grid.

Abstract: A balustrade for a passenger conveying device is provided comprising a handrail, a plurality of balustrade panels, a base, and a clamp. The balustrade panels support the handrail. The base includes a skirt panel, apparatus for supporting the balustrade panels, and an inner decking for enclosing a portion of the support apparatus. The clamp, which includes a fastener and a biasing apparatus, attaches the inner decking to the skirt panel.

Abstract: The newel guide for an escalator or moving walkway is formed from a curvilinear self-lubricating plastic cage which serves as a race for a plurality of steel ball bearings. The ball bearings are freely rotatable in appropriate recesses formed in the plastic cage, and the handrail inner surface contacts the ball bearings and slides over them around the newel.

Abstract: Handrail drive wheels on escalators and moving walkways are subjected to high stresses due to the pressures which are generated by the drive wheels in order to move the handrails. The operational stresses on the drive wheels require that they be securely mounted on their drive shafts. This mount assembly provides secure wheel-shaft coupling, while enabling the drive wheel to be easily removed from the drive shaft for servicing without the need to use any specialized tools. The wheels are provided with internal jack screws that can be manipulated with an Allen wrench to dislodge the wheel from the drive shaft.
