Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein are systems and methods that enable client-side calculation with data provided at a multidimensional or other database server. Data provided at the server in accordance with a server-side model, can be transformed/prepared into a grid, for use with a client-side application, for example a client spreadsheet application. During preparation of the grid, one or more portions of the grid that are identified as client-side dynamic parameters, can be represented as dynamic formulas that are modifiable within the client-side application; while parameters of the server-side model that are outside of the grid can be represented as constant values. The grid provided to the client can be used to perform client-side calculations that allow for rapid calculations in response to changes in the client-side model, without introducing a round-trip performance lag between the client-side and server-side.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for updating a database using a multi-dimensional data model in which data corresponding to the database are organized in multi-dimensional data blocks. Each data block has summary information associated therewith corresponding to a current state of evolution of the associated data block. Dependency information is maintained in the data model which identifies data dependencies within and among the data blocks. A list of change entries identifies changes made to the data blocks and times at which the changes were made. A request to apply a change entry to a data block is received. The change entry is applied to the data block, including generating a dependency list of data blocks whose data depends directly or indirectly from the updated data block. The data blocks in the dependency list are processed in accordance with a dependency update algorithm to update the data blocks in the dependency list.

Abstract: A left-handed composite material which includes a mixture of a ferromagnetic material and a dielectric material. The direction of magnetization of the ferromagnetic material, and its volume fraction are controlled such that the composite material exhibits negative permeability in a frequency region near the ferromagnetic resonance frequency, and low eddy current losses. Furthermore, the handedness of the material may be locally tuned to be alternately converted into a right-handed material or a left-handed material by application of an external magnetic field, electric field, or mechanical stress. Such materials are easy to make and can be easily scaled up for industrial use.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a position information signal for the head of a hard disk drive. The disk has a track which contains a plurality of servo bursts that allow the head to be centered with the centerline of the track. The servo bursts are first sensed and an upper and a lower threshold values, based on the values of servo bursts, are generated. A position error signal based on the upper and lower threshold and the values of the servo bursts are generated and stored in a memory device.
