Abstract: A vent apparatus is used to install a tankless water heater or similar equipment inside an attic without going onto the roof. The vent apparatus may include a main housing and an umbrella assembly movably disposed therein. The main housing (e.g., PVC pipe) is installed through the roof. The umbrella assembly may have a central rod with a flexible umbrella cover on top and an engagement member on bottom. The umbrella assembly is pushed up through the main housing until the engagement member hits the bottom of the main housing and the umbrella cover exits the top of the main housing to cover it and prevent rain from entering the main housing. The bottom of the main housing is then connected to the tankless water heater. Additional embodiments are disclosed for tankless water heaters with an air intake port and a gas exhaust port.

Abstract: A surgeon support system comprising a base having a foot platform with an appropriate angle adapted to support a user's feet. The base surface may be lifted using a jack pedal and the height is adjusted by a base handle. A knee pad is supported by a knee support bar which is attached to the base. The knee pad is pivotally connected to a seat pad and a chest pad support bar. The seat pad is supported by a seat pad height-adjusting strut and the height is adjustable by a seat pad height-adjusting handle. The chest pad support bar supports a chest pad for forward and backward movement of the user. The angle position of the chest pad is adjusted and released by an angle-adjusting knob on a chest pad angle-adjusting bar. The surgeon support system stabilizes a user close to a workspace for extended periods of time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing memory in an interest-driven business intelligence system in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. A dictionary for storing values of a dataset may be partitioned in accordance with some embodiments. The partitions of the dictionary may be generated by mapping and reducer processes. The mapping processes receive a value, determine the dimension of the data to which the value belongs, and provides the value to a reducer process that handles the determined dimension. Each reducer process generates partitions of the dictionary for each dimension. The number of values in each partition is determined and compared to a threshold value. Partitions that have a number of values greater than the threshold are stored in a common memory. Partitions smaller than the threshold value can be combined with other partitions such that the cardinality of the combined partition exceeds the threshold value.

Abstract: Systems and methods for interest-driven business intelligence systems including event-oriented data in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. In one embodiment, an interest-driven business intelligence system includes raw data storage configured to contain raw data and perform ETL processes, a data mart configured to contain metadata that describes the raw data, and an intermediate processing layer, wherein the intermediate processing layer is configured to compile an interest-driven data pipeline configured to generate ETL processing jobs to generate event-oriented data from the raw data by filtering the raw data based on the metadata describing the raw data, determining ordering data based on the metadata describing the raw data, aligning the filtered raw data based on the ordering data, and generating event-oriented data based on the aligned filtered raw data, and storing the event-oriented data in the data mart.

Abstract: Systems and methods for interest-driven data visualization systems are illustrated. The system includes a processor and a memory configured to store an interest-driven data visualization application. The application configures the processor to obtain reporting data including a plurality of datasets from an interest-driven business intelligence server system; generate visualization rendering data for the datasets based on associations between visualization metadata and the datasets; and generate visualization image data based on the visualization rendering data. The visualization image data is displayable using and includes visual representations of at least a portion of the reporting data. Pieces of the visualization image data correspond to master and slave visualizations.
