  • Patent number: 9002778
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods define an analysis window for a dimensional model in accordance with a window template and a starting point. One or more aggregate definitions are produced based on the analysis window. In another embodiment, the dimensional model comprises a time dimension, and the window template is associated with the time dimension. In yet another embodiment, the starting point is changed to a new starting point, and a new analysis window is defined using the new starting point.

  • Publication number: 20070203794
    Abstract: A fuel purchase incentive is provided incident to the sale of a vehicle. With respect to the sale of an automobile, the incentive consists of a program price, for example a discount price or a capped maximum price, for a specified quantity of a specified brand and type of gasoline. The incentive is calculated as a function of the anticipated fuel use factors of the automobile buyer. The incentive information is provided to the buyer at the time of purchase of the automobile and stored for use by an incentive program operator. When the buyer purchases gasoline pursuant to the incentive program, the buyer recognizes the program price through the provision of a rebate, credit, real-time discount or other appropriate mechanism. Program sponsors may participate in the fuel incentive program, for example providing a payment(s) to the program operator in exchange for establishing a relationship with a customer under the program.

  • Publication number: 20050007128
    Abstract: A spring loaded, high frequency, controlled impedance, coaxial probe assembly located within an insulated or conductive housing. A high frequency coaxial probe assembly consisting of a central contact which is fixed or axially floating within a controlled impedance connector body or assembly. A flexible, elastically de-formable, fixed or field replaceable and detachable, ground contact, snapped on and retained in place upon the controlled impedance connector body or assembly creating a fixed or axially floating reference plane or dimension from which the head of the probe contact will protrude through the controlled impedance connector body. The individual, high frequency, controlled impedance, coaxial probe assemblies are spring loaded to provide continuous axial signal contact, when deployed to a planar device such as a DUT (Device Under Test) board. The flexible, elastically de-formable, fixed or field replaceable and detachable, ground contact(s) provide a resilient and continuous wiping action.

  • Patent number: 6572909
    Abstract: A plastic container has a base and a lid hinged together by a hinge. The hinge has a series of relatively thick sections joined together by a series of relatively thin sections. The thin sections are sufficiently thin to be severed upon an initial folding of the hinge. The thick sections are sufficiently thick to remain at least partially intact during the initial folding. The container may be filled with product and closed with the hinge becoming partially severed and weakened and may be later opened with the hinge becoming completely severed to separate the base and the lid.
