Title: Visual data integration system and method
Inventor: HU QILIN
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 1999-04-15
Abstract: A visual data integration system architecture and methodology is disclosed. The system architecture includes a transport framework that represents a technology-independent integration mechanism that facilitates the exchange of technology-dependent data between disparate applications. A visual interface facilitates the design, deployment, and runtime monitoring of an integrated information system implementation. An integrated information system is developed visually through use of the visual interface by dragging and dropping components within a canvas area of the interface. The components are graphical representations of various telecommunications hardware and software elements, such as information stores, processors, input/output devices and the like. Various components may be packaged together as business extension modules that provide specific business integration capabilities. Interconnections between components are graphically established using a mouse to define sources and destinations of specified data. An underlying configuration/runtime information framework operating above and in concert with the transport framework effectively transforms the graphical interconnections into logical or physical interconnections, which results in the contemporaneous generation of an integrated runtime system. Format neutral data meta-models are employed to model the input and output data requirements of disparate systems and system components so as to remove any crossdependencies that exist between the systems and technologies implicated in a data integration project. The visual interface enables runtime control and analysis of the business information and system aspects of an integrated system implementation. Visual views onto the live deployment provide consistent management and control for system integrators, business integrators, system managers, and business managers using a single visual interface.

Patent CA-2331899-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and communications system for processing state information in a management network having a number of management levels
Inventor: SCHMID-BAUER ALFRED
IPC: H04W92/14
Filed: 1999-05-03
Abstract: According to the invention, state information is transmitted between an agent (AG) of a management level (B, C) and at least one manager (MA1, MA2) of a next higher management level (A, B). A request message (staAS) is sent by the manager (MA1, MA2) to the agent (AG) for executing information matching. State information regarding deviations from a normal state are checked by the agent (AG) and changes in state information are sent to the manager (MA1, MA2) in one or several successive messages (staCN). Information matching is conducted only when changes in state information exist so that deviations from normal state are informed to the manager.  Consequently, all state information regardless of whether said information has changed or not is not automatically transmitted to the manager. This results in reduced information flow between the agent and the manager and represents a considerable gain for the manager especially in the case of a plurality of managed objects.
Patent CA-2332731-A1 (CA)
Title: Oligonucleotide tags for sorting and identification
Inventor: BRENNER SYDNEY
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: The invention provides a method of tracking, identifying and/or sorting classes or subpopulation of molecules by the use of oligonucleotide tags. Oligonucleotide tags of the invention comprise oligonucleotides selected from a minimally cross-hybridizing set. Preferably, such oligonucleotides each consist of a plurality of subunits 3 to 9 nucleotides in length. A subunit of a minimally cross-hybridizing set forms a duplex or triplex having two or more mismatches with the complement of any other subunit of the same set. The number of oligonucleotide tags available in a particular embodiment depends on the number of subunits per tag and on the length of the subunit. An important aspect of the invention is the use of the oligonucleotide tags for sorting polynucleotides by specifically hybridizing tags attached to the polynucleotides to their complements on solid phase supports. This embodiment provides a readily automated system for manipulating and sorting polynucleotides, particularly useful in large-scale parallel operations, such as large-scale DNA sequencing, mRNA fingerprinting, and the like, wherein many target polynucleotides or many segments of a single target polynucleotide are sequenced simultaneously.
