Filed:

Jun 15, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/525160

Inventors:

Bin Qin - Phoenix AZ, US
Michael Davis - Scottsdale AZ, US
David Lyons - Tempe AZ, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707713, 707E17017

Abstract:

Accelerated sub-string searches on large data sets can be performed using filtering processes that can improve or optimize run time performance. A first filtering process can include partitioning a binary tree into sections to enable an exact search to replace a substring search for part of the binary tree and for part of the binary tree to be potentially excluded from substring searching. A second filtering process can include comparing count representations of entries in the binary tree and of a received input string to potentially further exclude entries from substring searching.

International Classification:

E06B 332

US Classification:

5220451

Abstract:

A modular sliding window assembly for in a motor vehicle body is provided with a sliding pane subassembly which has a snap-fit with a frame subassembly. The frame subassembly preferably comprises a pair of fixed panes, an upper and lower applique, and an injection molded cover member integrating the fixed panes and the appliques. The sliding pane subassembly preferably comprises a generally horizontal run channel member and at least one glazing pane optionally having a run channel guide affixed to a peripheral edge of the pane. The pane is slidably received in a run channel formed by the run channel member. The horizontal run channel member has a snap-fit attachment preferably to one of the appliques. The appliques can have a flexible flange or the like extending inboard from the injection molded cover member, forming a step ridge or like configuration. The run channel member provides a correspondingly configured feature, such as flexible projections separated by a recess, so that the snap-fit is established by the step of the flexible flange being pushed past a captivation hook or the like on one of the flexible projections, so as to snap into place behind the captivation hook.

International Classification:

B60N 2/14
B60N 2/01
B60N 2/06
B60N 2/30

Abstract:

A seat assembly includes a mounting plate and a base frame rotatable mounted on the mounting plate by a swivel mechanism for swiveling the seat assembly between forward-facing and rearward-facing configurations. A seat portion is operably coupled to the base frame and includes a front edge. The seat portion can be pivoted between use and upright non-use positions. The seat assembly includes a first rotational footprint when the seat portion is in the use position and a second rotational footprint that is less than the first rotational footprint when the seat portion is in the upright non-use position. The second rotational footprint is intended to accommodate swiveling of the seat assembly between the forward-facing and rearward-facing configurations within a vehicle interior.

International Classification:

B60N 2/14
B60N 2/08
B60N 2/30

Abstract:

A seat assembly includes a track assembly having a swivel mechanism slideably supported along the track assembly. A base frame is supported on the swivel mechanism between forward-facing and rearward-facing configurations. A seatback is pivotally coupled to the base frame by a recliner mechanism. A seat portion is pivotally coupled to the base frame and includes a front edge. The seat portion is operable between first and second positions, such that the front edge of the seat portion defines a forward-most portion of the seat assembly when the seat portion is in the first position. Further, the front edge of the seat portion is vertically juxtaposed over the base frame when the seat portion is in the second position.
