Abstract: Pipeline segments can contain cables, such as communication cables (e.g., fiber optic cables) within insulation material surrounding the pipeline segments. Cables can be embedded within the insulation material, run through conduits embedded within the insulation material, placed in channels formed in the insulation material, or otherwise. Channels containing one or more cables can be filled with supplemental insulation material, thus securing the cables within the channels. Pipelines created as disclosed herein can enable data transfer between distant points without the need to lay fiber optic cable in addition to the pipeline. Further, fiber optic cable embedded thusly can be used to sense conditions in the pipeline, such as leaks, seismic activity, strain, and temperature information.

Abstract: A general-purpose reusable algebraic-based composition algorithm for composing mappings between data schemas. The algorithm handles more expressive mappings, makes a best-effort to eliminate symbols when a perfect answer cannot be obtained, includes new heuristics, and is extensible. A relational algebraic language is provided wherein each mapping is expressed as a set of constraints, and each constraint is either a containment or equality of two or more relational algebraic expressions. The composition mechanism exploits monotonicity properties of algebraic operators in operator arguments, handles NULLs and bag semantics, operates to allow composition to produce a partial result when a complete result is not possible, facilitates symbols elimination one symbol at a time using left composition, for example, as a way of isolating the symbols, supports making a best-effort to eliminate as many symbols as possible from an intermediate schema, and handles unknown or partially known operators via delayed handling.

Abstract: A pair of removable driving tabs are provided for a base plate that has at least two opposing apertures disposed therein. Each of the removable driving tabs are gripped by a machine for vibrating each of the pair of removable driving tabs. The driving tabs are releasably secured to a base plate that is mounted on a caisson. When the driving tabs are vibrated by the machine, the vibration is transferred through the base plate and into the caisson, which is vibrated into the ground for installation.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for use in a computer system for organizing and displaying notification items associated with the system, applications or other components, within a notification area. The system monitors items that are placed in the notification, comparing the period of placement with a predetermined time threshold value, If the item has remained inactive for longer than the predetermined threshold period, the item is hidden from the notification area. Additionally, the system monitors the hidden items for changes in icon appearance and will unhide the item upon a change in appearance or specific selection by a user. New items and unhidden items are arranged in the order of the most recent addition to the notification area. The system also allows a user to customize the behavior associated with individual notification items.

Abstract: The subject invention provides a method of forming high resilience slabstock polyurethane foam having random cell structures to produce latex-like feel and characteristics. The method includes the first step of providing an isocyanate-reactive component and an isocyanate component to react with the isocyanate-reactive component. A first nucleation gas is provided under low pressure and is added into at least one of the isocyanate-reactive component and the isocyanate component to produce a first cell structure in the polyurethane foam. A second nucleation gas is provided under low pressure, being different than the first nucleation gas, and is added into at least one of the isocyanate-reactive component and the isocyanate component to produce a second cell structure in the polyurethane foam that is different than the first cell structure.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for organizing, displaying, and accessing representations of one or more running tasks on a graphical user interface in a computer system. The system organizes like application files and clusters the corresponding taskbar buttons and, upon reaching a threshold limit, creates and displays a group button that contains the like application files and removes the like taskbar buttons from the taskbar. Further, upon reaching a second threshold limit, the system ungroups the application taskbar buttons, displays them on the taskbar and removes the group button from the taskbar.
