Abstract:

A handheld device cradle for holding a handheld device in a fixed position relative to the cradle includes a movable IR coupling transceiver selectively connected to a keyboard and selectively movable relative to the cradle to align with the IR port of a handheld device mounted on the cradle. A reflective element of the cradle apparatus is arranged to facilitate a satisfactory alignment of a handheld device with the cradle IR transceiver regardless of the location of the IR port on the handheld device. In an example, a full-sized keyboard is used to provide input to a handheld device which is mounted within the exemplary cradle apparatus to maintain IR port alignment between the cradle IR port and the handheld device IR port.

US Classification:

717106, 717110

Abstract:

A system and method for automated source code generation is presented. Processing uses a parser call back function to identify relevant HTML tags in an HTML file. Processing extracts HTML tag information from the relevant HTML tags and stores the HTML tag information in a variable table. A user may configure the variable table to instruct processing to generate getter source code and/or setter source code on a tag-by-tag basis. Processing retrieves a source code template and generates java bean source code by combining the source code template with the information in the variable table.

US Classification:

707 7, 707 3

Abstract:

A method for implementing a front-end user sort request includes receiving a list request, decomposing the list request and creating a sort entry object using a list of column values initially retrieved from a data storage medium. A sort routine is performed on at least a first column of the list of column values in the sort entry object, wherein a compare function of the sort routine is dependent upon information obtained from decomposing the list request. The list request is rebuilt in accordance with the completion of the sort routine.

Abstract:

An automated method for creating only the necessary joins in a SQL query. The present invention comprises a Query Program (QP), a Query Generation Program (QGP), and a Clause Generation Program (CGP). The QP accepts the query fields, filters, and sort criteria from the user, generates the query, sends the query to the database, and displays the query results. The QGP creates the query clause strings and inserts the strings into the SQL template. The QGP generates the SELECT, (filter) WHERE, and ORDER BY clauses. The QGP analyzes each parameter in a parameter list to determine if the parameter is on the added aliases list. If the parameter is not on the added aliases list, the QGP runs the CGP for the parameter. The CGP generates the FROM, JOIN, and (join) WHERE clauses and adds the clauses to the appropriate clause strings.
