| 20090187921 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING STAND-IN OBJECTS - A method for providing stand-in objects, where relationships among objects are automatically resolved in an object oriented relational database model without the necessity of retrieving data from the database until it is needed. A “fault” class is defined, as well as fault objects whose data haven t yet been fetched from the database. An object that's created for the destination of a relationship whenever an object that includes the relationship is fetched from the database. When an object is fetched that has relationships, fault objects are created to “stand-in” for the destination objects of those relationships. Fault objects transform themselves into the actual enterprise objects—and fetch their data—the first time they're accessed. Subsequently, messages sent to the target objects are responded to by the objects themselves. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20110246536 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAPPING OBJECTS TO MULTIPLE TABLES OF A DATABASE - The present invention creates a model that maps object classes in an object-oriented environment to a data source. The model maps the relationship between properties of each object class and data of the data source. The present invention can be used with a data source such as a relational database, user interface, file system, or object-oriented database. An application's object classes and data source schema are designed independent of the other since the model can be used to map one to the other. The model is comprised of entities and attributes. An entity maps to an object class and to at least one table of the DBMS. An entity contains attributes either simple or derived. A simple attribute maps to a DBMS column. A derived attribute is a combination of other attributes and does not directly map to a DBMS column. A relationship creates a link between entities of the model. A relationship can be used to flatten an attribute or flatten a relationship. A flattened attribute is an attribute of one entity that is added to another entity. A flattened relationship is created by the elimination of intermediate relationships between two entities. Relationships can be either unidirectional or bi-directional. A unidirectional relationship has a single traversal path that has a source entity and a destination. A bi-directional relationship has two traversal paths. A reflexive relationship can be created using a single entity. The model is used to synchronize object properties and the data of the data source. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20090018851 | Method and apparatus for arranging business introductions - A network that uses registration information of multiple parties along with a matching function to match two parties that have a business contact that both parties would benefit from if the parties were introduced. Once found, the network notifies one party that a match has been found. This party is then allowed to either accept or reject an initial introduction without informing the second party. If the introduction is accepted, the second party is then notified that a match has been found and the first party accepted the initial introduction. Now the second party has an opportunity to accept or reject the initial introduction. If accepted the first party is notified that the second party has accepted the introduction and simultaneous messages containing contact information are sent to the first and second parties. The parties then contact each other directly to consummate the initial introduction. Afterwards, the parties will arrange to make formal unsupervised introductions with the business contact. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20110276880 | Aggregating Time-Delayed Sessions In A Video Delivery System - In a video network context, video sessions can be aggregated and delivered to users, and smart replay can be provided responsive to user commands. Various and different commands are received from users at different times. Video sessions (e.g., program streams) are identified and/or created based on the commands. Video sessions are multicasted to the users. Joining multiple users to a video session reduces a need to create multiple identical or similar individual sessions, thereby increasing session capacity. Delivering a video session to users likely to be seeking a particular moment of interest in a video, based on an increased tolerance of received user commands, increases the user experience by delivering the moment of interest directly, without requiring multiple commands from users attempting to navigate towards the moment of interest. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110293252 | Automatic Playback Overshoot Control System and Method - An automatic overshoot control system and method can enable a user to more easily terminate a trick mode (e.g., fast forward or rewind) at an intended point in program material. For example, after a trick mode, a user can initiate display of audio or video at a particular intended point in the program material while minimizing a need to manually adjust. The system determines an offset and tracks a preview position within the program material displayed as a trick mode preview incorporating the offset. The system also tracks an actual position within the program material based on the preview position and offset. The actual position corresponds to a predicted location that the user desires upon terminating the preview trick mode. When the preview trick mode is terminated, normal playback of the program material is resumed at the actual location corresponding to the user's intended location in the program material. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20100154285 | DEFORMABLE FISHING LURE - A fishing lure capable of mimicking various motions of a wounded or distressed fish in the water. The lure may resemble a prey fish, worm or other natural food, and includes a flaccid elastomeric body having a front end, a tail end. and a tail section. The fishing lure includes a spine extending lengthwise through some, but not all, of the elastomeric body. The spine allows a fisherman to shape the lure by hand to a motion defining configuration that will cause motion that simulates that of a wounded or distressed prey fish or other natural food. The elastomeric body is not rigid enough to sustain a motion defining shape without the spine. The spine extends forward of the front end of the lure and exits the elastomeric body of the lure near the tail section, but not at the rear end of the lure. The spine does not support the tail section. The tail section is free to flutter in the water as the fishing lure is drawn through the water. The spine has a forward hole adjacent its forward end and a rear hole adjacent its rear end. The spine projects far enough from the front end of the lure to permit a fishing line to be attached to it by conventional means. The hole at approximately the rear end of the spine permits a fishhook to be attached to it. The positioning of this rear hole relative to the body of the lure is such that it allows an attached fishhook to extend approximately to the rear of the lure. Also, the attachment of the fishhook to the hole is such that the fishhook is free to flutter as it moves through the water. The attachment of a small piece of frozen bait to the fishhook provides a real prey fish or other natural food scent to the fishing lure and further induces a predator fish to strike the fishing lure. | 06-24-2010 |
