  • Patent number: 6108657
    Abstract: A record management system is provided for generating a multi-dimensional view for different measures. A set of records is retrieved in response to a set of queries. The records include dimension values and measure values, which are associated with the measures. The set of records is maintained in a master table. The record management system generates a record structure foundation, including a query map and a master table index. The record management system then employs the record structure foundation to generate a multi-dimensional layout mapping for the measures that are to be represented in the view. The record structure foundation and measure values in the master table are used to convert the layout mapping into the desired multi-dimensional view. The record management system includes data storage units for implementing the master table, query map, master table index, and layout mapping.

  • Patent number: 5961002
    Abstract: A receival hopper for delicate and fragmentary particulate material such as fruit berries or bark pieces, in which the hopper (2) includes a support frame (5) with a receiving bin (3) pivotally secured to the frame (5) and an auger (4) which includes an auger screw (8), extending along a peripheral lip of the receiving bin at or adjacent the pivot, with a pair of adjacent but spaced hydraulic rams (6) secured between the bin and the support frame for moving the bin between lowered and raised positions relative to the support frame.

  • Patent number: 5838321
    Abstract: A user interface with embedded or linked objects is enclosed. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a computer program, operating with a GUI and capable of linking or embedding an object from an application program into the GUI. The program includes instructions for determining a size of the object, instructions for determining whether the object is in an active mode, instructions for providing a first frame size of a container if the object is not in the active mode, and instructions for providing a second frame size if the object is in the active mode. The frame can simply represent the size of the container or an actual border around the container. The computer program also provides a first client window that is responsive to whether or not the object is active. Furthermore, the computer program adjusts the location of the object on the display when the object is in the active mode, provides space for controls of the objects server application, and provides appropriate pop-up menus for the object.

  • Patent number: 5758451
    Abstract: An improved bobber having two separate floatation units, or bobbers, is shown and its use described. The smaller of the two bobbers is fit inside an aperture in the larger. The two floats are connected to one another along the fishing line. The larger of the two is weighted in order that it floats in an upright position and keeps the smaller float inside the larger until the fish strikes. When a fish strikes bait at the end of the line, the smaller float will come out of the larger one. In the event that the fish is not hooked, the smaller float will float at the top of the water thus indicating a miss. A stop means on the line above the apparts limits the distance the smaller one can travel from the larger float after the two parts are separated.

  • Patent number: 5676961
    Abstract: The insect bait composition in the present invention is useful for feeding stimuli to induce insects, especially cockroaches, to preferably feed upon said bait composition, which will stimulate insect feeding and successfully compete with other food sources in the environment, said stimulant bait composition having one or more protein sources derived from poultry liver, silkworm pupae and hydrogenated soy protein.
