  • Patent number: 8255368
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium comprises executable instructions to receive user-created data for user-specified positions in an OLAP hierarchy. The OLAP hierarchy is reorganized according to the user-created data. Data manipulation statements are generated to evaluate a set of members of the OLAP hierarchy according to the user-specified positions.

  • Patent number: 8005818
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium comprises executable instructions to receive a query referencing a set of members of an OLAP hierarchy. The query is parsed into a syntax tree. Changes to the OLAP hierarchy metadata are received. The syntax tree is refined in response to the changes. The query is evaluated to return results that are independent of the changes to the OLAP hierarchy metadata.

  • Publication number: 20110179561
    Abstract: Dual flush toilets save water by allowing the user flushing to evacuate liquid wastes to use a smaller volume of water from the toilet tank than is necessary for solid waste evacuation. The Invention described in this Patent Application restricts the dual flush functionality to a retrofittable handle. This handle produces a full flush by means of a timer activated by rotation of the handle to the large volume position. In rotating the handle to the large flush position a mechanical timer is wound and causes a retractable latch to project and hold the flush arm in its upward position for the period dictated by the timer. Upon release of the arm the flapper returns to seal the tank allowing for recharge with a fresh supply of water. If the small volume position is selected with the flush handle then the smaller volume of flush water as limited by the flush chain float position will be released.

  • Patent number: 7698257
    Abstract: A computer readable medium stores executable instructions to receive a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) query. The MDX query is recursively rationalized to form a rationalized query. The rationalized query is applied to a multidimensional data source to produce query results. The query results are returned.

  • Patent number: 6975590
    Abstract: An enclosure services processor card is arranged to selectively split a fiber-channel arbitrated-loop (FC-AL) into two split loops. The card is adapted to plug into a backplane for a rack enclosure and includes a first switch operatively connected to a hub for the FC-AL. The hub comprises a plurality of port bypass circuits, each port bypass circuit being connected to a pair of tracks which in use connect to a respective one of each of the devices comprising the fiber channel arbitrated loop. The hub further comprises a pair of switches operatively controlled by the first switch, the pair of switches being disposed between respective port bypass circuits at which the loop is to be split. In a first state the pair of switches connect the devices in a single loop and in a second state the pair of switches divide the devices into two split loops.

  • Patent number: 6832324
    Abstract: A power supply unit controller for a rack enclosure in which a plurality of devices communicate via a backplane is disclosed. The controller reads signal(s) indicative of output supply level(s) being provided to the backplane by a power supply unit associated the the power supply unit controller and stores value(s) associated with the signal(s). The controller further stores a scaling value associated with a respective signal and dependent on the power supply unit, and a power supply unit serial number. The controller is responsive to a request from an SES processor to return a state of the associated power supply unit to the SES processor, the state including a combination of: a summary of the current status of the power supply unit, the value (s), the scaling value(s), and the power supply unit serial number, according to the SES processor request.

  • Patent number: 5730424
    Abstract: A line shooting air gun that carries a line down a conduit by creating a turbulent air flow in the conduit that keeps the line away from the drag inducing conduit sides. The turbulent air flow is created by a valve body that reflects the air flow a number of different times, uses at least two chambers for compression and reflection, provides an unbalanced flow of air and angles the air flow around a venturi breaking up any smooth flow. The line is carried by the turbulent air flow. An air drag system creates a serpentine line path producing drag on the line preventing line tangling when the air flow changes. A nozzle fitting allows different size adapters for different size conduits to be attached. A backpack with a rigid frame is provided for carrying an air tank. The rigid frame forms a stand for the tank when the backpack is not being carried. The frame includes a width plate that adjusts the width of the backpack shoulder harness to the user.
