| 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 |
| 20130019225 | Incremental Inferences for Developing Data ModelsAANM PETERS; AndrewAACI SammamishAAST WAAACO USAAGP PETERS; Andrew Sammamish WA USAANM VICKERS; ArthurAACI RedmondAAST WAAACO USAAGP VICKERS; Arthur Redmond WA USAANM VEGA; DiegoAACI SammamishAAST WAAACO USAAGP VEGA; Diego Sammamish WA USAANM MILLER; RowanAACI KirklandAAST WAAACO USAAGP MILLER; Rowan Kirkland WA USAANM DERSTADT; JeffAACI SammamishAAST WAAACO USAAGP DERSTADT; Jeff Sammamish WA US - An application programming interface may alter the inferences made by a set of conventions that may infer database objects from memory objects in an application. 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 |

| 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 |

Seattle WA USAANM Derstadt; Jeffrey MichaelAACI SammamishAAST WAAACO USAAGP Derstadt; Jeffrey Michael Sammamish WA US - Techniques are described herein that are capable of translating programming language patterns into database schema patterns. 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
