Title: Selectively auditing accesses to rows within a relational database at a database server
Inventor: WONG DANIEL MANHUNG
IPC: G06F21/57
Filed: 2001-02-05
Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that selectively audits accesses to a relational database system. This system starts by receiving a query from a client at a database server. The system processes this query at the database server to produce a query result. The system also  creates an audit record for rows in relational tables that are accessed by t he query, and that satisfy an auditing condition. Next, the system records the audit record in an audit record store and returns the query result to the client. Integrating the auditing facility into the relational database syste m in this manner ensures that auditing is performed in the same way regardless  of which application generates the query. Furthermore, this auditing is transparent to applications and users. In one embodiment of the present invention, the system additionally modifies the query so that processing the  query causes the audit record to be created and recorded for rows in relational tables that are accessed by the query and that satisfy the auditi ng condition. In a variation on this embodiment, the auditing condition is associated with a table in the relational database system.

Title: An improved construction for milking of animals
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN JOHN M
IPC: A01K1/12
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: The invention relates to milking of animals by means of a movable floor (101) on which the animals are milked in milking spaces (102) and onto which floor (101) they enter and exit via automatic gates. The invention involves automatic adjustment of the speed of the movable floor (101) first on basis of an estimated milking time of the animals presently in a so-called milk flow mode, i.e. attached to a milking unit (103), and second on basis of whether milking units (103) have been attached to the animals before leaving an attachment zone (104), i.e. the area where milking units (103) are attached to the animals, either manually or automatically by means of a milking robot. The speed of the movable floor (101) is primarily adjusted with the aim at optimising the occupancy rate of the implement for milking animals with respect to the first condition. However, the second condition places a constraint on when a speed increase is permitted. An animal may namely not leave the attachment zone (104) without being attached to a milking unit (103).

Inventor: SULLIVAN MARK C
IPC: G01S19/25
Filed: 2001-10-29
Abstract: A geographic tracking system with minimal power and size required at the mobile terminal (8) collects observation data at the mobile terminal, forwards the data to a processor, which calculates the position. The mobile terminal needs only to gather a few milliseconds of observation data, and to relay this observation data to the processor. The range from the satellite (13)(or other airborne transponder) to the terminal is determined using the known positions of an interrogating transmitter and a satellite (13), and a known terminal delay between the received signal and the transmission of the return signal, and the round trip time. An arc of locations is determined by computing an intersection of a sphere centered at the satellite having a radius given by the calculated range with a model of the Earth's surface. Alternatively, candidate locations that are consistent with the carrier signal received from GPS satellites (14-17) can be used. In either case, the candidate points are considered and refined using code phase measurements from a set of GPS  satellites (14-17). The candidate point having the lowest residuals or expected to measured code phases is chosen as the location of the mobile terminal. The measurements can be refined to account for various sources of error including measurement bias, relative motion and timing errors.

Abstract: An object of the present invention enhances the combustion efficiency in an automobile by performing temperature control of cooling water in the engine in accordance with various states of operation. Parameters from a variety of sensors which detect the state of the engine are inputted into an engine control unit. When the engine control unit determines from values of the throttle opening and engine rotation speed that the engine loads is about to decrease, the electronic thermostat is performed to maintain the cooling water of the high temperature. When it is determined that medium or high loads are due to increase, the control is switched such that the said thermostat is controlled by reading a target temperature corresponding to these parameter values from the engine control unit. The said thermostat variably sets the cooling water temperature in an engine control unit in accordance with the engine load.
