  • Patent number: 6978261
    Abstract: Using a database management system's own infrastructure to invoke a stored procedure for creating and preparing a database application. The stored procedure automates the pre-compile, compile, linker, and binder steps performed in creating and preparing the database application. The stored procedure is invoked to perform these steps in order to render the database application executable by the RDBMS. In conjunction with the invocation of the stored procedure, input parameters for the stored procedure may be specified including the requested function, the name of the database application, the source code for the database application, pre-compiler options, compiler options, linker options, binder options, and runtime options. The outputs from the stored procedure may include an executable load module, a database resource module, an output parameter string indicating the success or failure of each step, and one or more result sets containing the outputs of each step.

  • Patent number: 5630806
    Abstract: A radiopaque tube for use as a medical catheter is provided. The tube is preferably formed about a wire mandrel which is subsequently removed to form the lumen of the tube. The tube includes an inner wall layer made from a polymer resin defining the lumen. A spiral wound reinforcement layer of a radiopaque material is wound about the inner wall layer. The spiral wound layer can comprise flat wire or a multiple strands wound about parallel to each other. A polymer resin outer wall layer is laid over said spiral wound radiopaque layer so that the radiopaque layer is embedded between the inner wall layer and the outer surface of the outer wall layer.
