International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

707103R, 707102, 709202, 709203, 345968

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for accessing a hierarchical database. The hierarchical structure of a database is modeled into an objects framework, wherein the objects framework is comprised of one or more objects that correspond to application views, database definitions, and data defined and stored in the database, and the objects are organized into a tree structure to represent the hierarchical structure of the database. An Internet-enabled application accesses the hierarchical structure of the database through the objects framework using at least one multi-frame output form, wherein the multi-frame output form displays data from a plurality of the objects.

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345762, 345760, 345764, 345798, 345708

Abstract:

A graphical user interface can be automatically generated from a command syntax for managing multiple computer systems as one computer system. The command syntax is represented using an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) document file, an XML schema file, and a text description file. The XML document file, XML schema file, and text description file are maintained on a server and downloaded to a client as required. A user interface program uses the XML document, XML schema, and text descriptions to generate a âWizardâ that comprises the graphical user interface, wherein the Wizard provides a series of step-by-step dialogs for assisting the operator in creating a command from the command syntax.

Kevin Michael McBride - Mountain View CA, US
Mehul Mahendra Shah - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 8, 707 10

Abstract:

A system and associated method for flagging differences in resource attributes across multiple database and transaction systems, to substantially improve database maintenance operations performed by database administrators. The system and method perform search for object attributes that define a resource across a large number of database systems, and return the information to a database administrator, with the information in an exception state flagged. The system and method offer significant advantages for database administration in the ability to simplify the views of multiple systems into a single system image, and the ability to provide a significant degree of flexibility in displaying database information, thus making it relatively easy to identify resources that do not necessarily conform to the single system definition. These features substantially enhance the efficiency of database administration operations and reduce the labor demand associated with performing two-dimensional searches for exception states.

US Classification:

707201, 707200, 7071041, 707101

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer products that efficiently share and move data between different types of data storage formats. More particularly, the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying, navigating, and selecting hierarchical database segments and fields. The preferred embodiment of the present invention novelly uses a hierarchical tree structure that clearly represents the structures of a database and their mutual exclusivity, for easy understanding of and navigation through the various database structures. The user is prevented from selecting segments and fields that are not valid for the selected path thereby ensuring accuracy in the representation of the database data structures. Also, the user may select a path from the top of the hierarchical tree, the root, to a specific segment or field.

Abstract:

The present invention provides recombinant expression cassettes comprising a fungal 3′ termination sequence which is functional in a plant. The recombinant expression cassettes comprise a plant promoter operably linked to a coding sequence having a stop codon, and the fungal termination sequence. The fungal 3′ termination sequence is heterologous to the coding sequence. The fungal 3′ termination sequence comprises structural features including a cleavage site, a positioning element, and an upstream element. The present invention also comprises methods for construction of the plant expression cassettes and introducing the cassettes into plant cells.
