Abstract: Operating a range slider. A method includes displaying a range slider in a graphical user interface. The method further includes detecting a minimum selecting user interaction on a graphical user interface. The method further includes placing the minimum slider thumb at value on the slider track by placing the inside edge of the minimum slider thumb on the value to select the minimum endpoint of the selected range at the inside edge of the minimum slider thumb. The method further includes detecting a maximum selecting user interaction on the graphical user interface. The method further includes placing the maximum slider thumb at a value on the slider track by placing the inside edge of the maximum slider thumb on the value to select the maximum endpoint of the selected range at the inside edge of the maximum slider thumb.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to determining a data insertion point in a data layout based on relative cardinalities between data objects and to determining a data insertion point in a data layout based on defined hierarchies between data objects. In an embodiment, a computer system receives a user input indicating that an additional portion of information is to be added to an existing data layout which includes multiple different data objects. The computer system accesses the data objects to determine relative cardinalities between the data objects in the data layout. The computer system determines an optimal data insertion point for inserting the additional portion of information based on the determined relative cardinalities between the data objects. The computer system also inserts the additional portion of information in the existing data layout at the determined optimal data insertion point.

Abstract: An in-treatment room dental vacuum system includes a vacuum producer and an operator tool including an evacuator tip. A separator is coupled with the vacuum producer and is disposed between the vacuum producer and the operator tool. A hose assembly connects the operator tool and the separator. In use, the separator receives material from the operator tool via the hose assembly and separates the material into wet phase material and dry phase material.

Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for persisting instance-level report customizations. Input is received from a user to run an original report. An original query associated with the original report is executed against a data store. The original report is displayed to the user. At least one instance-level customization is received from the user to customize an instance of the original report. The instance-level customizations that the user makes to the customized report are tracked in a manner that allows a history of changes from the original report to the customized report to be determined. The customized report is generated in subsequent executions of the report. The instance-level changes the user made to the report can be audited to allow users to see the changes made to the original report.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to implementing hierarchy metadata to improve relational model default path selection heuristics. A computer system receives a database query from a user. The query is configured to return a portion of requested data stored in the database. The database includes multiple different data entities related to each other via different relationship paths. The computer system accesses hierarchy metadata that describes various database hierarchies, each hierarchy including multiple data entities. The computer system determines an optimal path between the related data entities based on the database query and the hierarchy metadata, and accesses the data using the determined optimal data entity relationship path.

Abstract: Various technologies for processing a selection on an item on a report. In one implementation, a request to perform an action on the item may be received. Whether one or more actions corresponding to the item exist based on one or more parameters and one or more values of the parameters associated with the item may be dynamically determined. A list of one or more actions may be displayed if the one or more actions exist.

Abstract: A vacuum-strength measurement device is utilized to determine vacuum producer system performance specifications and system parameters. A flow ability factor can be determined that represents the effect of system piping and usage area equipment on performance. With the flow ability factor, a vacuum strength requirement can be determined to effect a target vacuum performance. For system design, design parameters can be established based on a relationship between a desired flow ability factor and an amount of vacuum strength required to match target vacuum performance.

Abstract: Amalgam and other particles of four microns or more in size are removed with at least 95% efficiency from a particle-containing fluid line, preferably connected to a single dental operatory. Desirably a plurality of parallel centrifugal separators have their inlets connected to the fluid line, and gas outlets connected to a dental vacuum pump. The bottom liquid and particle outlet drains to a particle filter. The filtered water can be reintroduced into the gas flow to the vacuum pump, and the collected particles are disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing beverages including a fluid conduit terminating in a conduit exit, the conduit exit being oriented upwardly when the apparatus is in an operative position, and a dispenser head defining an enclosure surrounding the conduit exit, the dispenser head having a pouring aperture opening onto the enclosure. The pressure within the fluid conduit is regulated so that beverage traveling upwardly toward the conduit exit experiences a stagnation point, causing the beverage to pour from the pouring aperture of the enclosure due to gravity.
