  • Publication number: 20210194943
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a reporting platform system. The reporting platform system receives a configuration object for an account that defines a format in which communication data associated with the account will be received by the reporting platform system, and a format into which the communication is to be reformatted. The reporting platform system receives a stream of communication data associated with the account and converts the stream of communication data in real-time based on the configuration object for the account. The resulting converted communication data is in the converted format defined by the configuration object. The reporting platform system provides query functionality on the converted communication data.

  • Patent number: 9678935
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating dynamic cross-block joining of reports in an on-demand services environment in a multi-tenant environment according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes receiving, at a server computing device, a joining request to merge a plurality of reports into a joined report, each of the plurality of reports having data including customer relationship management (CRM) data, where the request is placed at a client computing device, and merging the plurality of report into the joined report. The joined report comprises a single report representing the merged plurality of reports. The method may further include facilitating access, via a user interface at the client computing device, to the plurality of reports represented as the joined report.

  • Patent number: 8244714
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for generating a custom report using outer joins in the context of an on-demand database service. These mechanisms and methods for generating an on-demand database service custom report can enable embodiments to generate reports that reflect a relationship between at least two different objects. The ability of embodiments to provide such additional insight into database contents may lead to more efficient and effective reporting.

  • Publication number: 20060237444
    Abstract: A current sensor for installation on a conductor without breaking the conductor may include an insulating base having a conductor supporting portion and a conductive coil disposed within an outer surface of the insulating base. A magnetically permeable conductor retaining member includes a portion that passes through the coil and is secured to the insulating base. The retaining member defines a conductor receiving aperture portion with the aperture portion being disposed adjacent the conductor supporting portion of the insulating base. With a conductor positioned within the aperture portion, the conductor is secured by the retaining member to the conductor receiving portion of the insulating base and a substantially continuous permeable path is formed by the conductor retaining member about the conductor.

  • Patent number: 7074834
    Abstract: A veterinary composition comprising a guanidine derivative, e.g., guanabenz or guanabenz acetate is provided which produces a rapid acting and long lasting sedative and analgesic effect in a subject animal that is selectively reversible. The use of guanabenz in the horse provides for a safe, effective, long lasting and rapidly reversible sedative and analgesic which can be used on the standing animal. Methods of use of the compositions of the invention are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20050043288
    Abstract: A chemically marked procaine penicillin is provided as an antibiotic which can be distinguished from procaine used for anesthetic purposes. A preferred embodiment provides a procaine penicillin molecule wherein the procaine portion of the molecule comprises one or more substituted deuterium atoms in place of hydrogen atoms typically found in procaine penicillin. The resulting non-radioactive isotope can be easily identified via mass spectrometry as being distinct from any naturally occurring isotope, without negatively impacting the pharmacological nature of the drug itself. An alternative embodiment of the invention provides a method of marking the procaine penicillin through the substitution of various other isotopes in place of their naturally occurring counterparts. Methods of detection of the marked procaine penicillin molecule are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6718271
    Abstract: A fault detection apparatus for use in an electrical distribution network to distinguish normal network operations from various network faults. Pre-event and post-vent signal patterns are compared and analyzed to produce an event characteristic which distinguishes the faulted feeder and the faulted phase. The characteristic also allows for discrimination between the various events and controls network response accordingly.

  • Patent number: 4473640
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for hydrolyzing drug-glucuronic acid conjugates present in mammalian body fluids, the conjugates being derived from a narcotic analgesic, antagonist, or agonist-antagonist whose metabolism includes conjugation with glucuronic acid. The method comprises incubating the body fluid sample at from about 60.degree. to about 70.degree. C., for at least about 1 hour, with .beta.-glucuronidase derived from Patella vulgata, and substantially increases the sensitivity of chromatographic techniques for the detection of morphine and its analogues.
