Abstract: A directed graph of data includes nodes 10, properties 22 attached to nodes and resources 34. The nodes 10, properties 22 and resources 34 are classified as indexable or non indexable. At least one property 30 links a pair of nodes, one node being a parent and one being a child. An indexing algorithm indexes each indexable property pointing to a resource as related to any respective indexable nodes linked to the node to which the indexable property is attached through a chain of indexable links from child to parent through intermediate nodes, all of which are non-indexable.

Abstract: A system and method for candidate matching using a recruiter applicant tracking system and by providing a top candidate for employment to a recruiter based on a job request of a hiring employer. A structured candidate experience is created based on free form information associated with a candidate. The candidate experience is also associated with a recruiter of a plurality of recruiters, and a plurality of structured candidate experiences are stored. A structured job description is created based on a free form job description associated with a hiring employer and with a recruiter of the plurality of recruiters. A score is determined between each structured candidate experience and structured job description associated with a recruiter. A match list is generated from the scores associated with the recruiter. The match list is displayed on a recruiter device.

Abstract: A client accepts 20 an input query, rewrites 22 the query and forwards 24 the query to a database server, which returns 26 results which are then rewritten 28. The database includes classes arranged hierarchically as superclasses and subclasses, and/or properties also arranged hierarchically as superproperties and subproperties. In embodiments, the query is rewritten 22 to replace each instance of each class and each property in the input query with the transitive closure of the respective class or property. The client allows inferencing whether or not this is supported by the database server.

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic stripe reader, and more particularly, to systems, devices and methods of directly extracting binary information embedded in a magnetic stripe using simple analog and digital signal processing techniques. Once information stored in the magnetic stripe is extracted as a F-2F waveform by the magnetic stripe reader, peaks, valleys and mid-level transition points between every consecutive peak and valley are detected. A peak-to-peak period and an average time are directly derived to determine whether the corresponding peak-to-peak transition is associated with a binary bit of “1” or “0”. This magnetic stripe reader spares a need for a multi-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a large memory, and thus, constitutes a simple and self-contained solution that may read out the binary information stored on the magnetic stripe with reduced power consumption and improved cost efficiency.

Abstract: A specially designed rotary indexing system and associated operational methods are incorporated in a downhole control device, representatively a sliding sleeve valve, having an outer tubular member in which an annular plug seat is coaxially disposed. The plug seat is resiliently expandable between a first diameter and a larger second diameter and is illustratively of a circumferentially segmented construction. The rotary indexing system is operative to detect the number of plug members that pass through and diametrically expand the plug seat, and responsively preclude passage of further plug members therethrough when such number reaches a predetermined magnitude. Such predetermined magnitude is correlated to the total rotation of an indexing system counter ring portion rotationally driven by axial camming forces transmitted to the rotary indexing system by successive plug member passage-generated diametrical expansions of the plug seat.
