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:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707807

Abstract:

The subject innovation provides a system and/or a method that facilitates developing schemas for a file storage system. A type definition component can provide a schema grammar, wherein a generator component can employ the schema grammar to build the schema for the file storage system. The schema grammar can describe information types stored in the file storage system that are represented as instances of complex types that are part of a type system that supports inheritance. The schema grammar can support a declaration of an association between types, versioning specifications, and/or content indexing specifications.

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.

US Classification:

124 49, 220229, 124 411

Abstract:

A lid assembly for a paintball hopper is disclosed, which reduces the paintball reload time. The lid assembly has an outer ring dimensioned to fit over a loading opening of the paintball hopper. A barrier member, such as an elastic membrane or plurality of flanges, is disposed across the inner perimeter of the outer ring such that the loading opening is substantially sealed. Also, a securing member is provided for securing the outer ring to the paintball hopper. A paintball hopper formed with the lid assembly described above is disclosed as well.

US Classification:

340500, 124 56, 124 45, 124 1

Abstract:

An information display and communication system for use with paintball equipment during a paintball game is provided. The information display and communication system includes a display unit disposed on a housing; a wireless communication unit provided in the housing for receiving information from a paintball marker system; and a controller provided in the housing for displaying the received information on the display unit. The system can be constructed as a portable unit or incorporated into the body of a paintball marker or paintball hopper. Ideally, the display unit includes a touch screen input unit for providing user interaction with the information unit. The wireless communication unit utilizes a short range communication protocol, such as Bluetooth, IR, etc. Additionally, a second wireless communication unit is included having a longer communication range for communicating with other information display and communication systems and players.
