US Classification:

707 2, 707 1, 707 4, 707 5, 707 10, 707100

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for joining two or more tables are disclosed. A query including a join query is received, where the join query requests that a new table be generated from data obtained from two or more tables, where the two or more tables are stored at two or more data sources. One or more columns for each of the tables for which data is to be obtained are identified from the query. A query plan to execute the query to obtain data for the identified columns from the two or more tables is then generated.

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for joining two or more tables are disclosed. A query including a join query is received, where the join query requests that a new table be generated from data obtained from two or more tables, where the two or more tables are stored at two or more different data sources. Data from the tables is retrieved corresponding to the query. A new table is then generated from the retrieved data.

US Classification:

707803, 717105

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for supporting an additional data source in a system adapted for processing data from one or more data sources are disclosed. A design-time driver for the additional data source is obtained, where the design-time driver supports the definition of data including one or more fields of the additional data source to retrieve from the additional data source. In addition, a run-time driver for the additional data source is obtained, where the run-time driver supports retrieval of data corresponding to the one or more fields from the additional data source and where the run-time driver has a second application programming interface. The design-time driver is executed via a first application programming interface, where the first application programming interface enables definition of the data including the one or more fields to be retrieved from the additional data source. The data is then retrieved from the additional data source via the run-time driver using the second application programming interface.

International Classification:

G08B 21/00

US Classification:

3406866

Abstract:

A kiosk comprises: a motion sensor; electronics; and a speaker. The motion sensor senses a customer adjacent to the kiosk. The electronics, which are communicatively coupled to the sensor, determine if the customer has lingered by the kiosk for a period of time. The speaker, which is communicatively coupled to the electronics, emits an aural greeting if it is determined that the customer has not lingered.

Abstract:

A system includes a recommendation engine, product database and interface. The recommendation engine determines one or more recommended product clusters from the product database based on a request for a healthcare product recommendation based on a symptom. The interface, which is communicatively coupled to the engine, displays the one or more recommended product clusters. The product clusters are organized based on at least one common attribute, such as active ingredient.

Abstract:

A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein for a Game Action Trigger Module (GATM) for trigger game actions. The GATM generates a virtual gaming environment comprising a concurrent display of a tile board and a game world separate from the tile board. The GATM receives a selection of a sequence of tile board virtual objects. The GATM identifies a location of a particular tile board virtual object in the selected sequence. The GATM identifies a target game world virtual object based on the location of the particular tile board virtual object in the selected sequence. The GATM applies a game action to the target game world virtual object.

International Classification:

A63F 13/792

Abstract:

A method of customizing offers for sales of combinations of virtual items at discounted prices is disclosed. A combination of virtual items of a computer-implemented game is selected such that the sum of the values of each of the combination of virtual items has a proportion to an amount of currency in an account of a user of the computer-implemented game, the selecting being performed by a processor. An offer for a sale of the combination of the virtual items at a discounted price is generated for the user of the computer-implemented game. The offer for the sale of the combination of virtual items at the discounted price is presented to the user.
