The method includes identifying commonalities in a selection of records of a result set produced by a previously issued query against a database in a database management system executing in memory by at least one processor of a host server. The method further includes deriving a query from the identified commonalities that when executed against the database management system would produce the selection of records as the result set. Finally, the method includes storing the derived query for subsequent use in querying the database. | 01-05-2012 |

20110320972 | METHOD AND SYSTEM USING HEURISTICS IN PERFORMING BATCH UPDATES OF RECORDS - Computer method and apparatus processing batch changes to a plurality of records employs heuristics. The system includes a computer based source of a plurality of records subject to a batch update. Each record in the plurality has respective meta data information. A computer processor projects application of changes forming the batch update in one record of the plurality. The processor applies heuristics including noting metadata information of the one record impacting changes to each record in the plurality. Using the noted metadata information and heuristics, the system further projects application of the batch update changes to remaining records in the plurality. A preview display of the projected results of the batch changes allows the user to commit, modify or revert batch updates per record. | 12-29-2011 |

20120323887 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONS TO MANAGE QUERY RESULTS - Described are systems and methods for changing query result data graphically displayed on an electronic device. A query of a data repository is performed. A graphical representation of a set of query results identified from the query is displayed. The set of query results includes a plurality of query result records. The graphical representation includes a first node corresponding to a first record field value and a second node corresponding to a second record field value. A region proximal to the first node displays at least one query result record having the first record field value. A query result record of the at least one query result record having the first record field value is selected. A field value of a selected query result record is changed from the first record field value to the second record field value by transitioning the selected query result record to a region proximal to the second node of the graphical representation. | 12-20-2012 |

20130223276 | Identifying an Egress Point to a Network Location - A method of identifying an egress point to a network location includes receiving a client connection from an external network (e.g., the internet) and retrieving an egress point identifier from an egress data source (e.g., a database, look-up table, hash table, data object etc.) for the received client connection. The egress data source stores egress point identifiers associated with at least one of an internet protocol address and a subnetwork. The method further includes binding the client connection to an egress point corresponding to the retrieved egress point identifier, encapsulating packets of data received from the client connection, and sending the encapsulated data packets through an instantiated network tunnel to the bound egress point. The method includes decapsulating the encapsulated data packets at least near the bound egress point. A default routing policy may then guide the data packets to the egress point. | 08-29-2013 |
20150046558 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHOOSING LOWEST LATENCY PATH - A mechanism for reducing network latency by choosing the lowest latency network path, or a lower latency network path, from server to client. Instead of using a static, pre-built system for determining latency, the lowest latency path may be dynamically determined for each client connection at the time of connection establishment. Further, latency information may be periodically determined over time and averaged or otherwise utilized to account for changing network conditions. | 02-12-2015 |

20130014664 | NARROWING HIGH STRENGTH POLYMER-BASED CARTRIDGE CASING FOR BLANK AND SUBSONIC AMMUNITION - A high strength polymer-based cartridge casing includes an upper component of polymer, a bullet of a standard weight, a lower component of polymer, and an insert. The upper component has a shoulder portion and an upper component inner wall has a first slope extending from the shoulder. The lower component has a lower component inner wall having a second slope. The upper and lower component inner walls form a propellant chamber; and the first and second slopes reduce a volume of the propellant chamber. The reduced volume of the propellant chamber permits only enough propellant to propel a bullet engaged in the cartridge casing at subsonic speeds. | 01-17-2013 |

20120257004 | Direct Eye-Contact Enhancing Videoconferencing Unit - A desktop videoconferencing endpoint for enhancing direct eye-contact between participants can include a transparent display device and a camera placed behind the display device to capture images of a near end participant located in front of the display device. The display device can alternate between display states and non-display states. The camera can be operated to capture images of the near end participant only when the display device is in the non-display state. The camera can be placed behind the display device at a location where an image of eyes of the far end participant is displayed. Images captured by the camera when displayed at to the far end participants can give the perceived impression that the near end participant is making direct eye-contact with the far end participant. | 10-11-2012 |
