  • Patent number: 11960547
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, system and computer program product for single view presentation of multiple query. In an embodiment of the disclosure, a method for single view presentation of multiple query includes directing a query against a database along a selected dimension of multiple different elements. In response, a primary result set is received. The result set is then organized into a tabular view of cells according to the selected dimension and values for the selected dimension. Thereafter, a set of nested queries may be directed for each of the elements in the selected dimension against the result set utilizing a different dimension. In response to each directed set of nested queries, a corresponding result set is thus received. Finally, each corresponding result set is inserted into a cell associated with a common one of the elements.

  • Patent number: 6993073
    Abstract: An MPEG Optimization Software (MOPSW) for maximizing a Video Compression Ratio (VDCR) while maintaining a good output Video Image Quality (VDIQ) of an Input MPEG file (IMPEG) is disclosed. The IMPEG has a set of adjustable MPEG Control Parameters affecting both its VDCR and VDIQ. In a specific embodiment with application to MPEG2 files, the MOPSW employs the following optimized set of adjustable MPEG Control Parameters: Set Video Size=(x)×(Minutes of Video) where x=12 through 18; Maximum BITRATE=2200 through 3300; Maximum Average BITRATE=2200; and Minimum BITRATE=300 and achieved a VDCR that is at least 200% higher than what is typically available from current DVD suppliers in the art while maintaining a good output VDIQ for a representative set of movie titles. An associated method of iteratively determining the optimized set of adjustable MPEG Control Parameters is also presented.
