20100304638 | Mouth construction for ventriloquial figure - An improved mouth construction for a ventriloquial figure comprises a movable jaw assembly operatively connected to the head of the figure and including a rigidly cast lower jaw member pivotally connected within the head and a pliable lip member formed to fit upon and cover the upper surface of the lower jaw member. The lip member is cast from a rubberlike synthetic polymer, such as silicone rubber, that is first cured in an associated mold and then secured firmly upon the surface of the cast lower jaw member while curing using specially fabricated dual T-shaped bar fasteners embedded between the separate members to mechanically lock them together during the casting process. The resultant mouth construction provides a quite impact between the movable jaw assembly and the upper lip surface of the stationary upper jaw portion of the head and makes the ventriloquial figure more life-like in its operation. | 12-02-2010 |

20150088885 | AGGREGATING DIMENSIONAL DATA USING DENSE CONTAINERS - Methods, computer systems, and stored instructions are described herein for densely grouping dimensional data and/or aggregating data using a data structure, such as one that is constructed based on dimensional data. When smaller tables are joined with a larger table, a server may analyze the smaller tables first to determine actual value combinations that occur in the smaller tables, and these actual value combinations are used to more efficiently process the larger table. A dense data structure may be generated by processing dimensional data before processing data from fact table. The dense data structure may be generated by compressing ranges of values that are possible in dimensions into a range of values that actually occurs in the dimensions. The compressed range of values may be represented by dense set identifiers rather than the actual compressed range of values. | 03-26-2015 |

The resilient deployment structure has an elasticity that generates a resilient deployment force for urging the mesh prosthesis to a deployed configuration from a non-deployed configuration. A shield projection extends outwardly from a perimeter of the resilient deployment structure and is engaged within the guide pocket to prevent relative rotational movement between the resilient deployment structure and the mesh prosthesis. A method of using a medical device is also included. | 09-17-2015 |
