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.

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.

US Classification:

536 241, 4353201, 435419, 800298, 800312, 800314, 8003201

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.

US Classification:

714 26, 714 48, 714 57

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for troubleshooting of computer systems using a fault tree analysis. In one embodiment, data parameters describing a status of a system may be monitored to determine the existence of a fault. In the event of a fault, fault tree analysis metadata may be evaluated to attempt to determine a root cause of the fault. If a root cause can be automatically determined, it may be presented to a user in a troubleshooting console, or may be used to trigger an automated corrective action. Alternatively, if a root cause cannot be automatically determined, the user may be presented with additional fault tree analysis metadata and any relevant data parameters in the troubleshooting console, so that the user may determine the root cause of the fault event.
