  • Publication number: 20240102848
    Abstract: A floor scale (10) intended for use in an environment requiring hygienic cleaning has a load platform (12) that is supported by a frame (18). A pair of foot assemblies 26, positioned along the sides of the frame, anchor the frame to the floor and provide a base from which the frame and load platform may be pivoted about an axis (A) between an operative position in which an upper surface (14) of the load platform is substantially parallel to the floor and a non-operative position in which the upper surface is angled obliquely relative to the floor. In the non-operative position, a footprint (F) of the floor scale is accessible for cleaning, Structural members of the frame and foot assemblies are substantially devoid of horizontal concave surfaces in which liquids could pool. Locking means is provided for the operative position and at least one non-operative position.

  • Publication number: 20070136353
    Abstract: A system and method for data model and content migration in content management applications is disclosed that facilitates data migration by utilizing a markup-language format to preserve dependency and enable compatibility among various platforms, applications, devices, etc. The invention generally includes retrieving a plurality of objects, determining a dependency of the plurality of objects, extracting object definitions from the objects, forming a markup-language user document with the extracted object definitions utilizing the determined object dependency, and exporting the markup-language user document.

  • Publication number: 20060015482
    Abstract: A dynamic foldering system automatically manages the creation and deletion of run-time dynamic folders and selection of documents, items, or object graphs found in the run-time dynamic folders. The system comprises a query/predicate for a design-time folder group based on which dynamic folders are automatically managed, a variable binding mechanism, automatic identifications of dynamic folders containing a particular object, parallel navigation, and customized combination of foldering results. The query/predicate for a design-time folder group can be a parameterized query. The dynamic folder hierarchy is defined by a hierarchy of design-time folder groups defined by a query/predicate on a document comprising structured or semi-structured data. Modifiable criteria for creating the dynamic folder hierarchy are provided by the user. Variable binding provides powerful query/predicate definitions on hierarchical data or graph-structured data.

  • Publication number: 20050055336
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for XML query cursor implementation through the steps of query translation and processing, query result navigation, and positioned update. An XML query cursor implemented in Interface Definition Language (IDL) as well as an extension to XQuery, an XML query language, is described. These steps are addressed by one of three approaches: multi-cursor, outer union, or hybrid. In each approach, XML data is assumed to be stored in a relational database with a mapping that maps each element to a row in a relational database table. In each approach, a system and method provide for cursor movements and positioned updates in increments of a node, sub-tree, or entire document. Given a user's navigation patterns, a system and method is provided to select either a multi-cursor, outer union, or hybrid approach as an optimal implementation for an XML query cursor.
