International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707101, 707 2

Abstract:

The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates providing a compact representation of a file path associated to a file storage system. A path component can provide seamless integration and/or transition between the file path associated to the file storage system and an item and/or item ID within the data storage system. The path component can utilize a tabular format, wherein such tabular format allows the cross-reference between the file path and item. The compact representation can facilitate at least one of storing, renaming, and searching.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707100, 707102

Abstract:

The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates mapping a data base model to a database object. A type storage system can utilize a storage mapping of a file storage data model. The mapping can describe the database object created based at least in part upon a schema and how instances of the type described in the schema are stored and/or accessed. Furthermore, a query can be provided to find at least one of an item, a document, and/or a contact that satisfy at least one criterion. The type storage system can receive data, wherein the data is at least one of a schema, a data model, a type, a query, and query criteria via an interface to provide the storing and querying. Additionally, the type storage system can generate a view that exposes at least one instance of the type.

International Classification:

A61B 5/02

US Classification:

600485, 600526, 600504, 600483, 600481

Abstract:

A cardiovascular parameter such as cardiac output is estimated from a current pressure waveform data set without needing to directly measure blood flow or arterial compliance. The general shape of an input flow waveform over one beat-to-beat cycle is assumed (or computed), and then the parameters of a flow-to-pressure model, if not pre-determined, are determined using system identification techniques. In one embodiment, the parameters thus determined are used to estimate a current peripheral resistance, which is used not only to compute an estimate of the cardiovascular parameter, but also to adjust the shape of the input flow waveform assumed during at least one subsequent beat-to-beat cycle. Another embodiment does not require computation of the peripheral resistance and still another embodiment computes a flow estimate from an optimized identification of the parameters defining the assumed input flow waveform.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707001000, 707008000

Abstract:

The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates manipulating data associated to a data storage system, wherein the data storage system has at least one of a characteristic and a constraint associated to a data model. The data model can represent the data storage system such that the data storage system is a database-based file system. A data manipulation component can manipulate data associated to the data model and enforces at least one of the constraint and the characteristic to ensure integrity of such system. In addition, an API component can be invoked to provide the manipulation of data within the data storage system.

International Classification:

G06F 3/14

US Classification:

715234

Abstract:

A page controller module is provided for generating a pageview on a computing device according to a page definition that identifies a plurality of blocks corresponding to the pageview. In response to the page definition, and for each of the plurality of blocks, the page controller module initializes a block controller module for the block, which issues data requests to receive values for parameters associated with the block. Further, view modules are provided for rendering the viewable portion of the page using the values received in response to data requests from the block controller module. In some embodiments, block controllers may register data requests with the page controller so that the page controller may manage fulfillment of the data requests. The page controller may manage fulfillment by scheduling registered data requests and/or by reducing redundancies in registered data requests.
