| 20110004586 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR CREATING A VIRTUAL DATABASE - A virtual database is attached to a server database management system (“DBMS”) such that the DBMS believes it needs to recover the database to a last known point of consistency. In order to perform this recovery, the DBMS requests the transaction log file entries to be read from what it believes is the database's transaction log file. However, the requests are intercepted and translated (unbeknownst to the DBMS) instead into requests to read the transaction log portion of the backup file. The DBMS then uses the transaction log records to bring the database to a point of transactional consistency, unaware that the log records are actually being sourced from the transaction log portion of the backup file. All changes made to the data during the recovery phase and later during the execution of any TSQL statements which insert, update, or delete data are routed into a cache file. Accordingly, a “virtual” database is created and used by the server DBMS engine as if it were a real database. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20080313099 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DOWNSIDE PROTECTION OF STOCK MARKET INVESTMENTS - A method and system for providing downside protection of stock market investments. The present invention allows stock prices to be expressed as a stop loss percentage of the high value the stock price attains rather that a fixed or “hard entered” number. The stop loss percentage of the high value allows stock prices the freedom to increase in price while protecting gains that are being made and still providing downside protection for market declines. The system receives security information input from the user and also data link information of current stock information, the system determines new high values and calculates a sell threshold price based on the stop loss percentage and the high value of the security. When the market price is less than the sell threshold price, the system notifies the user or automatically sells the security. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20110005031 | Anchor and alignment device for carpet tiles - An anchor for a carpet tile includes a cross-shaped base having four arms extending from a vertex. The arms form a planar top surface and a planar bottom surface. A vertical blade centered on the base rises to engage the backing of a carpet tile when a corner of the carpet tile is placed near the vertex. The blade is preferably made of bendable and resilient material. Preferably, the anchor is used with a pedestal head of a raised-flooring system and has a nub extending from the bottom surface of each of the arms of the base to fit within holes in the pedestal head and thereby secure the anchor to the pedestal head. An alternative anchor includes a plate for the base and the blade in the shape of a cross rises from the plate. The plate may have a hole in each quadrant defined by the blade. | 01-13-2011 |
