Abstract: A declarative mechanism is used to manage large documents within a repository. The large documents are sectioned into subdocuments that are linked together by a parent document. The combination of the parent document and subdocument is referred to as a compound document. There are multiple options for configuring rules to break up a source document into a compound document and naming the subdocuments. The compound documents may be queried using statements that treat the compound document as a single XML document, or the parent document of a subdocument may be queried and treated independently. Access control and versioning can be applied at the finer granularity of the subdocument.

Abstract: An intelligent restraint system architecture for aircraft cargo is provided. The intelligent restraint system architecture includes restraints arrayed along a cargo deck and local restraint control panels (RCPs). Each restraint is configured to normally assume a retracted condition at which cargo movement proximate to the restraint is permitted and to selectively assume an erected condition at which cargo movement proximate to the restraint is inhibited by the restraint. The local RCPs are respectively coupled to proximal restraints. Each local RCP is receptive of a signal indicative of a cargo movement status and is configured to automatically control each of the proximal restraints to selectively assume the erected condition or to re-assume the retracted condition in accordance with the signal being received and content thereof.

Abstract: A validation procedure employs metadata reuse using composite path signatures to make a metadata reuse determination. The procedure is performed as part of validating a set of data objects. Validating an initial subset of data objects generates N different sets of object-specific metadata, each set of which is associated with a different composite path signature. When subsequently validating another data object, a composite path signature is generated for the data object and compared with the composite path signatures of the N different sets of object-specific metadata. If a match is found, then the object-specific metadata of the matching composite path signature is reused for the data object. The object-specific metadata is remapped to an in-memory representation of the data object.

Abstract: Access control rewrites generate rewritten queries that may be executed more efficiently using index evaluation to determine which rows satisfy one or more access control conditions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing hierarchical relationships in a relational database system is provided. An “orderkey” data type, which is native within a relational database system, is disclosed. The orderkey type is designed to contain values that represent the position of an entity relative to the positions of other entities within a hierarchy. Such values represent hierarchical relationships between those entities. Values that are of the orderkey type have properties that allow hierarchy-oriented functions to be performed in an especially efficient manner. Database functions, which operate on and/or produce values that are of the orderkey type, are also disclosed. Such functions can be placed within SQL statements that a database server executes, for example. In response to executing SQL statements that contain such functions, the database server performs hierarchy-oriented operations in a highly efficient manner.

Abstract: A prognostic power drive unit of a cargo handling system includes a motor operable to drive a conveyor system of the cargo handling system. One or more drive system sensors are operable to collect data related to the motor. One or more environmental sensors are operable to collect data related to one or more environmental conditions of the prognostic power drive unit. One or more load detection sensors are operable to detect data related to the conveyor system. The prognostic power drive unit also includes a controller operable to control the motor and determine a health status of the cargo handling system based on at least one of: the one or more drive system sensors, the one or more environmental sensors, and the one or more load detection sensors.

Abstract: Disclosed is a continuous loop drainage system. The continuous loop drainage system uses a double-lumen catheter to augment drainage of a body fluid, such as bile or urine, in a prograde direction through a closed-loop system. A miniature extracorporeal pump in the closed loop receives the fluid through an inflow lumen of the catheter and generates pressure in an outflow lumen of the catheter to cause flow of the fluid in a prograde direction distally through the outflow lumen toward the distal end of the catheter, such as the duodenum in the case of a biliary catheter or the urinary bladder in the case of a ureteral catheter. Other example uses are possible, such as in augmenting flow of cerebrospinal fluid through a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, for example.

Abstract: An aircraft cargo system includes a ball panel assembly having a ball panel and a first enclosure assembly. The ball panel defines a first cutout. The first enclosure assembly is at least partially disposed within the first cutout and is movable between an open position and a closed position. The first enclosure assembly includes a first enclosure defining a first opening that receives a first ball transfer unit.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for encoding/decoding binary XML data in a client program before sending/receiving the XML to/from a database server. By encoding the binary XML at the client, the overhead of parsing the XML text is avoided by the database server, thus improving database server scalability. Also, the XML data is sent by the server to the client in the binary form, and the binary format is decoded by the client program to perform the necessary operations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing path-based database operations is provided. According to one aspect, a path cache is maintained. For each hierarchical node that is traversed during a path-determining operation, it is determined whether a cache entry corresponding to that node is already contained in the path cache. If such a cache entry is already contained in the path cache, then the path indicated in that cache entry is used to complete the pathname for the node for which the operation is being performed. As a result, hierarchically higher nodes do not need to be traversed to complete the operation. Alternatively, if such a cache entry is not already contained in the path cache, then a cache entry for the node currently being traversed is generated and inserted into the path cache for use in subsequent path-determining operations.

Abstract: An XML document can be represented in a compact binary form that maintains all of the features of XML data in a useable form. In response to a request for a modification (e.g., insert, delete or update a node) to an XML document that is stored in the compact binary form, a certain representation of the requested modification is computed for application directly to the binary form of the document. Thus, the requested modification is applied directly to the persistently stored binary form without constructing an object tree or materializing the XML document into a corresponding textual form. Taking into account the nature of the binary form in which the document is encoded, the bytes that actually require change are identified, including identifying where in the binary representation the corresponding actual changes need to be made.

Abstract: A database server determines, on an element-level of granularity, what form of VARRAY storage to map collections of elements defined by a XML schema. A collection element may be mapped to an in-line VARRAY or an out-of-line VARRAY. The determination may based on a variety of factors, including the database type mapped to the collection element, database limitations that limit the form storage for certain database types, and annotations (“mapping annotations”) embedded within that XML schema that specifying a database type for database representation of a collection element or a form of VARRAY storage.
