Patent CA-2534573-A1 (CA)
Title: In-place evolution of xml schemas in databases
Inventor: MURTHY RAVI
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-08-23
Abstract: A method and system for the in-place evolution of XML schemas is disclosed. To automatically evolve an existing XML schema, a schema evolver receives both an existing XML schema and an XML document as input. The XML document indicates changes to be made to the existing XML schema. Based on the existing XML  schema and the XML document, the schema evolver evolves the existing XML  schema into a new XML schema that incorporates the changes indicated in the XML document. According to one aspect, the schema evolver generates one or more SQL statements based on the new XML schema. The SQL statements, when executed by a database server, cause the database server to evolve database structures that were based on the formerly existing XML schema so that the database structures conform to the new XML schema. This is accomplished "in place," without copying the data in the database structures.

Title: Object location system and method using rfid
Inventor: STRZELCZYK MARTIN J
IPC: G01S13/34
Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: A system and method is provided for locating objects using RFID tags. The system and method uses an RFID reader and a distance calculator to efficiently and accurately determine the location of objects that include an RFID tag. The RFID reader transmits a plurality of signals to the RFID tag, with the plurality of signals having different fundamental frequencies. In response, the RFID tag backscatter modulates the plurality of transmitted signals to create a plurality of backscatter-modulated signals. The RFID reader receives and demodulates the plurality of backscatter-modulated signals. The distance calculator determines the phase of the plurality of backscatter-modulated signals and determines a rate of change of the phase in the backscatter-modulated signals with respect to the rate of change in the fundamental frequency of the transmitted signals and uses this information to calculate the distance to the RFID tag.
