20140129582 | Modifying Structured Query Language Statements - An approach is provided to modifying structured query language (SQL) statements to more efficient forms. In the approach, an SQL statement is received and compared to a number of predefined malformation rules with at least one of the predefined malformation rules includes a syntactical pattern. If the comparison reveals that the received SQL statement includes a malformed expression that would be inefficiently processed by a database engine, the malformed expression is modified to an efficient SQL expression form and the efficient SQL expression form is executed by the database engine. | 05-08-2014 |

20100292818 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ZONE FUNCTIONALITY IN NETWORKED MEDIA SYSTEMS - A Zone Control service is disclosed which provides for hierarchically managing a plurality of networked media subsystems. This can provide a layer of abstraction for the collection in the form of a single Renderer zone interface represented by a delegated zone controller. This hierarchy establishes a virtual super-system. Although a Zone Control services can be advertised on all networked media devices, the services will typically be unavailable while a device is subservient to, or equivalently under the control of, a zone controller. A single instance of the Zone Control service can reside in a Services Device, co-existing with a Group Control service. | 11-18-2010 |
20100293264 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING DUAL-CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY IN A NETWORKED DIGITAL MEDIA DEVICE - Described herein are systems and methods for providing dual control functionality in a networked digital media device. In overview, a networked digital media device advertises a standard digital media device, which is discoverable and controllable by a standard control device in accordance with a standard media control protocol (also referred to as a Device Control Protocol, or DCP). The networked digital media device also advertises a non-standard digital media playback device, the non-standard device being discoverable and controllable by a non-standard control device in accordance with a non-standard media control protocol. These two devices are manifested in the same device hardware, essentially allowing the device to implement dual-control such that it is able to be controlled both as a standard device and a non-standard device. | 11-18-2010 |
20100299639 | USER INTERFACE FOR MANAGING THE OPERATION OF NETWORKED MEDIA PLAYBACK DEVICES - Described herein are systems and methods for managing the operation of networked media playback devices. One embodiment includes Graphical User Interface for coordinating playback of media via one or more networked wireless speaker devices. In particular, a user is able to “drag and drop” audio tracks to icons that are respectively indicative of one or more networked wireless speaker devices, thereby to affect playback of those audio tracks via those speaker devices. | 11-25-2010 |

20090150632 | Directory and Methods of Use - A method of arranging data in a directory, the directory being adapted to interface with disk storage, the method includes arranging data of a directory in a format that is configured to enable the directory data to be mapped by an operating system. The data of the directory is stored in computer-readable storage. The method also includes associating a first portion of a non-persistent computer-readable memory with the data of the directory at least in part by calling a memory map function of the operating system. The memory map function returning a pointer corresponding to the first portion of the non-persistent computer-readable memory. The method further includes synchronizing the associated first portion of the non-persistent computer-readable memory with the data of the directory stored in the computer-readable storage. | 06-11-2009 |
20090216723 | Directory Partitioned System and Method - This disclosure relates in general to the field of directory information systems and/or services. In a method embodiment, a method of arranging objects in a directory information system includes providing a plurality of objects to a computer-readable medium having a directory information structure. Each object may have one or more characteristics and each object may be stored, for example, in the computer-readable medium according to the directory information structure. Storing the objects may further include performing a mathematic operation on at least one of the characteristic(s) of the object, and arranging the object in the directory information structure based at least in part on a result of the mathematical operation performed on at least one of the characteristic(s) of the object. | 08-27-2009 |

20090072109 | HOLDER FOR HOLDING A CARRIER FOR INSERTION INTO A CYLINDRICAL WELL - The invention relates to a holder for holding a carrier, wherein the holder is inserted into a cylinder-shaped well, for example, of a multiwell plate. In addition the invention relates to a multiwell plate with such a holder. In order to provide a possibility for the reliable support of a carrier in a holder, wherein the holder ensures a secure and specified positioning of the carrier in a well and reliably prevents the carrier and the holder from falling out of the well, a holder is proposed for insertion into a cylindrical well and to support the carrier. The holder comprises a support, a holding piece and a connecting piece which connects the supporting piece with the holding piece, wherein the holder together with the lateral external surfaces of the supporting piece, the holding piece and/or connecting piece lies against at least one lateral internal surface of the well, and wherein the carrier is inserted on the support and under the holding piece. | 03-19-2009 |

20100233746 | Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Level Assay - The present invention relates to a method for determining the systemic metabolic status of an organism in relation to inflammation and oxidative stress using a biological sample (Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Level Assay). This comprises detection and quantification of one or more derivatives of arachidonic acid (eicosanoids), linoleic acid and/or docosahexaenoic acid, preferably together with one or more oxidative stress parameters and/or with one or more analytes from other metabolite classes in parallel, as well as a kit adapted for carrying out such a method. Moreover, the invention relates to the biomarkers as employed in the method. | 09-16-2010 |
20130065265 | Biomarker and Method for Determining an Oxidative Stress Level - The present invention relates to a biomarker and a method for determining an oxidative stress level in a biological sample, which employs co-factor-dependent oxidative stress parameters, as well as a kit adapted for carrying out such a method. In one aspect the co-factor is tetrahydrobiopterin. | 03-14-2013 |
