Abstract: A device has a platform with an upward facing receptacle therein. A base supports the platform at a predetermined height and a fuel burning insert is removably retained in the upward facing receptacle by retention means affixed to the receptacle. The fuel burning insert provides for combustion of liquid fuel proximate the predetermined height of the platform. The fuel burning insert may be removed, exchanged, and refilled by a user without tools.

Abstract: A method of data migration and integration with a data load mechanism. The first primary step is to extract the data from a named source by remote queries. The follow-up logic is used for any miscellaneous or supplemental transformations to inbound data for data renaming, null scrubbing, and data polishing. The filtration step allows for any extraneous data to be filtered out. The compression step consolidates any fragmented balances residual in the remote queries, localize remote data, data map, or follow-up logic. As a part of the compression process, the result set table signature is explicitly cast to that of the destination fact table. The result of this is an exact replica of the destination fact table format, data types and column order. The kickout handling provides referential integrity of the inbound data flow against the named BPM Destination System. Finally, the deployment step limits the dynamic reload or sync determination to certain fields.

Abstract: A reusable business performance management integration framework provides high performance and maximum efficiency for data transfer of general ledger data. The system issues commands to extract data from a named data source and then processes, tracks, prepares and delivers the data to a named system designation. The system identifies unique data intersections and synchronizes and/or reloads data against data intersection patterns without the use of primary keys. Integration templates may be applied to the basic framework. Each template contains the map for data transmission between a given general ledger system and the destination application type.
