20120330878 | CONVENTIONS FOR INFERRING DATA MODELS - A programming environment may use a set of conventions that may infer database objects from memory objects or memory objects from database objects. The inferred objects may be referenced and used in the programming environment after being created by the set of conventions. The set of conventions may be added to or modified to create different results that are inferred by the conventions. Some conventions may be dependent on other conventions, and the dependencies may be modified by reordering the conventions or otherwise redefining the dependencies. In some embodiments, a versioning system may manage different versions of the convention sets for various upgrade scenarios. | 12-27-2012 |

The changes or overrides to the inferences may be applied when the application is executed and may cause the database objects to be created or organized in a different manner than when the original inferences were used. A configuration database may store the inferences and overrides, and may be referenced when the conventions are applied. The configuration database may be incrementally updated so that any changes or overrides are persisted to the next version of an application. | 01-17-2013 |

20100228761 | MAPPING FROM OBJECTS TO DATA MODEL - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to mapping from application objects to an abstract data model. In aspects, a mapper receives registrations that indicate behavior (e.g., how objects are constructed, modified, or examined) of application objects. The behavior may be specified using user-supplied expressions. The mapper aggregates this data and uses it to map application requests for data access into one or more operations that operate on the abstract data model. A data access layer may then translate the operations into actions to access data corresponding to the requests from a store. If appropriate, data obtained from the store may then be inserted into application objects as indicated by the registrations. | 09-09-2010 |

20120331013 | Object-Relational Mapped Database Initialization - A balance is provided between automation of repetitive database creation and configuration efforts, on the one hand, and flexibility to depart from prior configurations, on the other hand, to assist developers with aspects of database initialization. An application domain includes data context instances, database connections, object models mapped by an object-relational mapper, and database initializers. Upon the first attempted runtime use of a particular database connection—data context instance—object model combination, a database initializer is invoked. Initializers may check to see if the database exists, (re)generate a database and schema based on the object model, determine whether the database is compatible with the current object model, delete the database and its schema, seed data, modify database indexes, and/or migrate an existing database, for example. A custom initializer can run developer-supplied code as desired to place the database in a known state for use by the application. | 12-27-2012 |
20120331484 | Fluent API Patterns for Managing Object Persistence - Fluent API Patterns promote balance in managing object persistence. Code which obtains an object-relational mapper session contains API Patterns that manipulate persistence ignorant objects using calls to a fluent interface. When the developer's code executes, it may manipulate an object state, a property state, and/or a persistent relationship of the persistence ignorant object. The code may implement API Patterns such as find-change-save, current-value-original-value, nested-property, incremental-graph-load, incremental-graph-filtered-load, property-modification, dictionary, and/or other API Patterns. Additional examples of API Patterns include an API Pattern to read current, original, and database values for all properties of an entity; an API Pattern to set current and/or original values from another object; and an API Pattern to create a cloned object containing current, original, and/or database values. In any or all of these situations, the API Pattern calls to the fluent interface may be written in a strongly typed language. | 12-27-2012 |

Examples of a programming language pattern include but are not limited to a source code pattern, an intermediate language code pattern, metadata associated with a source code pattern, metadata associated with an intermediate language code pattern, or any combination thereof. The programming language patterns may define objects that are included in an object model. Database schema patterns that define a database are automatically (e.g., inferentially) created based on respective programming language patterns that define objects of an object model. The programming language patterns are automatically mapped to the respective database schema patterns. | 01-17-2013 |

20120279499 | Negative Pressure Intubation Device - This device is designed to be an alternative to the traditional conscious intubation with a cooperative patient. It harnesses the negative pressure created during inhalation and utilizes it to advance a guidewire into the trachea, which then allows for endotracheal intubation. The negative pressure created during a deep inhalation will force air through a hollow delivery tube and carry a Sail-tipped wire through the vocal cords and into the trachea. Once the wire has been deployed, a syringe is attached and air is inflated into the expandible polymer sail. This will expand the sail into a balloon shape, create traction against the walls of the trachea and secure the guide-wire. An endotracheal tube may then be advanced blindly, using the wire as a guide to correct tracheal position and the NPI device removed. | 11-08-2012 |

20110121508 | AUXILIARY FEED CONVEYOR - Apparatus is disclosed for feeding sheets of paper printed by a printer to a sheet processing device, such as a print on demand (POD) book publishing system. The printer has a sheet discharge through which each sheet printed by the printer is discharged or ejected one sheet at a time. The printer heats the sheets to an elevated temperature as the sheets are printed, and the sheets printed by the printer and discharged from the printer carry a static electricity charge. The sheet processing device has a sheet infeed located at a location (height) different from the printer sheet discharge. The apparatus has a sheet conveyor that has an inlet, an outlet, and a conveyor path between the conveyor inlet and the conveyor outlet for conveying the sheets from the printer sheet discharge to the sheet processing device sheet infeed. The sheets are accumulated in a stack within the sheet processing device. The apparatus has at least one fan that blows air on each the sheet as the sheet is conveyed along the conveyor path so as to at least partially cool the sheet, and the apparatus has a static electricity eliminator located along the conveyor path for at least partially eliminating the static electricity from the sheets as they are conveyed from the printer to the sheet processing device such that as the sheets are accumulated in the stack they are sufficiently cooled and have sufficient static electricity removed therefrom so that the sheets may be uniformly stacked one on the other in the stack. | 05-26-2011 |

20090039172 | SPRAYER DOCKING STATION AND MONITORING SYSTEM - The improved sprayer system of the present invention utilizes a docking drogue and probe assembly to quickly and easily allow refilling of the sprayer tanks with a material from an enlarged nurse tank. The coupling of the drogue and probe allows for fluid communication, as well as electronic transmission of material data to a processor in the prime mover. This processor software also receives input regarding field data and crop data, as well as feedback data from the sprayer regarding the material application. A GPS system on the prime mover allows for tracking the spraying operation, while a time stamp in the processor software tracks the timing of the spraying operation. This system thus allows for accurate accountability and traceability for the use of materials during the spraying operation. | 02-12-2009 |
