20140280024 | JOINING LARGE DATABASE TABLES - Techniques to process a query and perform a join of tables that are distributed across nodes of a network. The join can be performed by analyzing a Where clause. An active flag structure can have flag values that identify table entries satisfying criteria of the Where clause. Keys of surviving entries of a first table can be used to generate a request for a second table to be joined. The request can be for second flags for the second table when the Where clause has criteria for the second table. A response can be used to update the first flags to change a first flag to False. After updating, data can be retrieved for first flags that are True. Requests can use identifiers associated with the first table that identify a location for sending the request, e.g., using RDMA or MPI. | 09-18-2014 |
20140304275 | OPTIMIZING WIDE DATA-TYPE STORAGE AND ANALYSIS OF DATA IN A COLUMN STORE DATABASE - Data structures can provide for a column store of a database table. Methods can use the data structures for efficiently responding to a query. Unique field values of a column of a database table can be identified. The unique values can be stored in a dictionary table along with reference keys that point to a row of the database table. A reference store column can replace the original column, where the reference store column stores index values of the dictionary table. A hash table can be used in accessing the database. A hash function can provide a hash value of a query term, and the hash value can be used to access a hash table to obtain a stored value of an index value of the dictionary table. The index value can be used to access the dictionary table to obtain reference keys corresponding to rows of the database table. | 10-09-2014 |

20100116488 | TUBING HANGER WITH INTEGRAL ANNULUS SHUTOFF VALVE - Apparatus and method for isolating an annular bore below a tubing hanger body disposed in a wellhead assembly. The hanger body is characterized by at least two annulus flowby passages that are capable of fluid communication with areas outside the hanger body through the central bore of the hanger body. An integral valve piston is disposed within the central bore of the hanger body, and is operable to axially displace within the central bore between a closed and opened position. The displacement of the piston is caused by the alternating introduction of pressurizing fluid into separate actuation chambers. In the closed position, the piston is positioned so that at least one of the flowby passages is sealingly engaged in a manner that prevents fluid flow through the hanger body from outside sources such as an annulus bore located below the hanger body. | 05-13-2010 |

20100307761 | Subsea Control Module with Interchangeable Segments - A subsea control module for subsea well equipment has an actuator having a rod with a remote operated vehicle (ROV) interface on one end and a latch on an opposite end that latches to a subsea receptacle. Segments are releasably mounted around and to the actuator. Each of the segments has a sealed housing containing at least one internal control component. Couplings depend from the housing for engaging mating couplings in the receptacle. The housing has two radial walls, each extending along a radial line from an axis of the rod. An outer wall joins outer ends of the radial walls, the outer wall being a portion of a cylinder. An inner wall joins inner edges of the radial walls. The radial walls of adjacent ones of the segments abut each other. | 12-09-2010 |

20130249799 | Force Sensor for Use in an Input Device and Methods for Constructing and Using the Sensor - The disclosure addresses a force sensor that is scalable in size and adaptable to a variety of form factors, including those suitable for use in an input device for a computer or other processing system, and in some cases including those of the configuration normally referred to as a computer mouse. The force sensor will include at least two structural members that are cooperatively attached one another as to be displaced from one another in response to a force acting upon one of the structural members. In some examples, the engagement between the two structural members will be specifically configured to allow such displacement in response to forces acting laterally on the force sensor. The force sensor will also include one or more sensing mechanisms to provide a measurement of the sensed deflection. | 09-26-2013 |

20090267717 | Magnetic Mat for Holding Surgical Instruments - A magnetic mat for holding surgical instruments. The mat includes a plurality of magnet holders configured to removably receive magnets therein. The magnet holders are connected together using a plurality of links so as to form a two dimensional mat adjustable in size. As a result, the effective magnetic surface area of the mat may be extended to provide adequate coverage for larger patients and thereby prevent instruments from falling off the patients' surface. In embodiments, the magnet holders may be opened such that different magnets may be inserted, removed, replaced and/or exchanged. Additionally, the magnet holders, links, and/or magnets may be independently sterilized, and/or replaced. In embodiments, the magnet holders include an open cage structure to hold a magnet with minimal obstruction of its magnetic field. | 10-29-2009 |

Preferably, the one or more belts are adapted to frictionally engage and retract tissue from a surgical site. In embodiments, one or more of the belts are comprised of a material with sufficient friction properties to securely engage tissue. In some embodiments, one or more of the belts also have a plurality of grooves for securely engaging tissue. In further embodiments, the main housing also includes a distal lip for further engaging tissue in the incision site. Preferably, the retractor is able to gently pull tissue away from a surgical site without injuring or damaging surrounding healthy tissue. | 11-12-2009 |
20090296244 | Surgical Mirror - A surgical mirror assembly for facilitating observation of surgical procedures. The mirror assembly includes a holder and a mirror, wherein the mirror is coupled to the holder in an adjustable manner. Preferably, the holder includes a superior portion for resting on a patient surface adjacent to a surgical site and a medial portion for hanging at least partially in the surgical site; wherein the mirror is coupled to the superior and medial portions of the holder in an adjustable manner to improve a field of view of the surgical site. The mirror and mirror holder may be readily placed anywhere adjacent to the surgical site so as to improve the field of view for the assistant. As a result, an assistant may observe a reflected view of the surgical site as the surgeon works. | 12-03-2009 |
