20100082371Patient Document Privacy And Disclosure Engine - A system and method is provided for managing health care information. A data network system includes a document parser, upon request, parses a patient's record into a plurality of categorized biographical and/or clinical data entries, where each of the categorized biographical and/or clinical data entries may be associated with a code identifier. A mapper may map each of the code identifiers to a configurable patient privacy flag and to a corresponding user permission level. The patient's mapped categorized biographical and/or clinical data entries may be checked by a configurable rule engine, and be displayed to the user as viewable layers with the same or less restrictive permission level than that of the user's role. The unapproved data may be turned off as non-viewable layers. The patient's mapped biographical and/or clinical data entries may be stored into a repository database for later retrieval.04-01-2010

20100278446STRUCTURE OF HIERARCHICAL COMPRESSED DATA STRUCTURE FOR TABULAR DATA - A highly flexible and extensible structure is provided for physically storing tabular data. The structure, is referred to as a compression unit, and may be used to physically store tabular data that logically resides in any type of table-like structure. According to one embodiment, compression units are recursive. Thus, a compression unit may have a “parent” compression unit to which it belongs, and may have one or more “child” compression units that belong to it. In one embodiment, compression units include metadata that indicates how the tabular data is stored within them. The metadata for a compression unit may indicate, for example, whether the data within the compression unit is stored in row-major or column major-format (or some combination thereof), the order of the columns within the compression unit (which may differ from the logical order of the columns dictated by the definition of their logical container), a compression technique for the compression unit, the child compression units (if any), etc.11-04-2010
20100281004STORING COMPRESSION UNITS IN RELATIONAL TABLES - A database server stores compressed units in data blocks of a database. A table (or data from a plurality of rows thereof) is first compressed into a “compression unit” using any of a wide variety of compression techniques. The compression unit is then stored in one or more data block rows across one or more data blocks. As a result, a single data block row may comprise compressed data for a plurality of table rows, as encoded within the compression unit. Storage of compression units in data blocks maintains compatibility with existing data block-based databases, thus allowing the use of compression units in preexisting databases without modification to the underlying format of the database. The compression units may, for example, co-exist with uncompressed tables. Various techniques allow a database server to optimize access to data in the compression unit, so that the compression is virtually transparent to the user.11-04-2010
20100281079COMPRESSION ANALYZER - Techniques are described herein for automatically selecting the compression techniques to be used on tabular data. A compression analyzer gives users high-level control over the selection process without requiring the user to know details about the specific compression techniques that are available to the compression analyzer. Users are able to specify, for a given set of data, a “balance point” along the spectrum between “maximum performance” and “maximum compression”. The point thus selected is used by the compression analyzer in a variety of ways. For example, in one embodiment, the compression analyzer uses the user-specified balance point to determine which of the available compression techniques qualify as “candidate techniques” for the given set of data. The compression analyzer selects the compression technique to use on a set of data by actually testing the candidate compression techniques against samples from the set of data. After testing the candidate compression techniques against the samples, the resulting compression ratios are compared. The compression technique to use on the set of data is then selected based, in part, on the compression ratios achieved during the compression tests performed on the sample data.11-04-2010

20110029569DDL AND DML SUPPORT FOR HYBRID COLUMNAR COMPRESSED TABLES - Techniques for storing and manipulating tabular data are provided. According to one embodiment, a user may control whether tabular data is stored in row-level or column-major format. Furthermore, the user may control the level of data compression to achieve an optimal balance between query performance and compression ratios. Tabular data from within the same table may be stored in both column-major and row-major format and compressed at different levels. In addition, tabular data can migrate between column-major format and row-major format in response to various events. For example, in response to a request to update or lock a row stored in column-major format, the row may be migrated and subsequently stored into row-major format. In one embodiment, table partitions are used to enhance data compression techniques. For example, compression tests are performed on a representative table partition, and a compression map is generated and applied to other table partitions.02-03-2011

20110068644INDUCTION MOTOR VENTILATED HEAT SHIELD FOR BEARINGS - A dynamoelectric machine, such as a totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) induction motor has a double-wall bearing housing heat shield that envelops and thermally isolates the bearing housing from the rest of the motor housing interior. The shield defines an air channel between the shield outer and inner walls. Optionally the air channel may be constructed to enable circulating air flow through a shield intake in communication with an air flow source, such as air ducted from the TEFC motor axial cooling fan. The air channel also defines an exhaust. Air flow within the air channel transfers heat out of the motor housing, lowering bearing housing operating temperature. Air flow rate may be varied in response to motor operational parameters.03-24-2011

20100197013METHOD FOR CULTURING STEM CELLS - A three-dimensional microwell system that supports long term pluripotent cell culture and formation of homogeneous embryoid bodies (EBs) is described. Microwell-cultured pluripotent cells remain viable and undifferentiated for several weeks in culture and maintain undifferentiated replication when passaged to Matrigel®-coated, tissue culture-treated polystyrene dishes. Microwell-cultured pluripotent cells maintain pluripotency, differentiating to each of the three embryonic germ layers. Pluripotent cell aggregates released from microwells can be passaged for undifferentiated replication or differentiated to monodisperse EBs. The ability to constrain pluripotent cell growth in three dimensions advantageously provides for more efficient, reproducible culture of undifferentiated cells, high-throughput screening, and the ability to direct pluripotent cell differentiation by generating monodisperse EBs of a desired size and shape. Cardiomyocyte-rich EBs are obtained from pluripotent cells cultured in microwells of defined size and shape.08-05-2010
20110142935CARDIAC DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS UNDER DEFINED CONDITIONS USING MATRIX OVERLAY METHODS - Methods for culturing the pluripotent stem cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and for generating high-yield, high-purity cardiomyocyte cultures from pluripotent stem cells are described. Pluripotent stem cells are cultured on a support with an overlaid matrix and, optionally, exposed to one or more factors to induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cardiogenesis.06-16-2011

20110021029PLASMA ETCH METHOD TO REDUCE MICRO-LOADING - A method of producing plurality of etched features in an electronic device is disclosed that avoids micro-loading problems thus maintaining more uniform sidewall profiles and more uniform critical dimensions. The method comprises performing a first time-divisional plasma etch process step within a plasma chamber to a first depth of the plurality of etched features, and performing a flash process step to remove any polymers from exposed surfaces of the plurality of etched features without requiring an oxidation step. The flash process step is performed independently of the time-divisional plasma etch step. A second time-divisional plasma etch process step is performed within the plasma chamber to a second depth of the plurality of etched features. The method may be repeated until a desired etch depth is reached.01-27-2011
