View navigation for creation, update and querying of data objects and textual annotations of relations between data objects

A method (and corresponding database system) for displaying in a view window information characterizing semantics of relations between objects. For each given relation between at least one subject object and at least one direct object, bi-directional modifier data is stored that represents first text characterizing semantics of a relationship of the at least one first object to the at least one second object, and represents second text characterizing semantics of a relationship of the at least one second object to the at least one first object. In response to predetermined user input associated with an object node displayed in the view window, a set of relations whose at least one subject object or at least one direct object is associated with the object node is identified. For at least one relation in the set of relations, the view window is updated to include a second node comprising a graphical representation of: the first text of the given relation in the event that the given object is a subject object in the given relation, or the second text of the given relation in the event that the given object is a direct object in the given relation. The second node may be a relation node associated with a given relation, or a mixed node associated with a relation-type pair. In response to predetermined input with a second node, the second node may be expanded to identify and display one or more object nodes (identifying direct object(s) of relations derived from expansion of a subject object associated therewith or identifying subject object(s) of relations derived from expansion of a direct object associated therewith). Preferably, this expansion routine is recursive in nature.The method (and database system) of the present invention may be used in a wide assortment of software applications, including enterprise applications (such as e-business applications, supply chain management applications, customer relationship management applications, decision support applications), the file system in operating systems, web browsers, e-mail applications and personal information management applications. Importantly, the method (and database system) provides an easy, user friendly and efficient mechanism to define, view and query the organization of the data elements (and the relationships therebetween) stored and accessed in such software applications, in a manner that conveys the real-world meaning of such relationships.

Mass Spectrometer

A technique for improving the efficiency of injecting ions into the electrode unit of a funnel structure having high ion-transport efficiency is provided to improve the overall ion-transport efficiency. From an ionization chamber 1 for ionizing a sample under atmospheric pressure, ions are injected through a straight capillary pipe 3 into the inner space of the electrode unit 10 of a funnel structure composed of ring electrodes in a first intermediate vacuum chamber 4. The space for setting the capillary pipe 3 is formed by replacing one or more ring electrodes with C-shaped electrodes whose circumference portion is partially removed. Each C-shaped electrode is arranged so that the ions will be injected perpendicularly to the ion-transport direction. The injected ions lose energy due to collision cooling, become converged onto the ion-beam axis C due to the ion-confining effect of a radio-frequency electric field, and efficiently move toward the exit aperture along a potential gradient created by a direct-current electric field. The gas stream carrying the ions passes through the gaps of the ring electrodes, without increasing the gas pressure at the exit of the ring-electrode inner space and thereby deteriorating the degree of vacuum in the next stage.

Methods and apparatus for supporting and implementing computer based animation

The present invention provides a method for hierarchically decomposing a visual or audio object within an animation into plurality of objects which can be individually edited to achieve particular animation effects. For example, a graphical object may be decomposed into a plurality of graphical sub-objects, each of which inherits an anchor point from the original object, or is given an original anchor point distinct from the original object. Each sub-object also includes a relative position for the sub-object relative to the anchor point. The path of the anchor point is combined with relative positions of the sub-objects to produce an animation for the object as a whole. This decomposition technique can greatly increase computational efficiency of an animation. It also provides for inheritance of attributes between objects and descendent sub-objects. The objects may support functions, or behaviors, such as morphing or motion blurring. The present invention additionally provides a flexible grouping operation to facilitate modifications to a group of objects. When a first type of modification is made to an attribute of an object in a group, this change is applied to corresponding attributes of other objects in the group. When a second type of modification is made to an attribute of an object in a group, the change only applies to the selected object or objects, and not to other objects in the group. The present invention allows objects to be manipulated on servers which are connected to a display on the internet.

Plasma processing apparatus and controlling method therefor

A detector detects microwaves reflected from a processing chamber. Based on the reflected microwaves, a load impedance is calculated. An amount of adjustment required to match the load impedance with an impedance of a microwave oscillator is calculated. The calculated amount of adjustment multiplied by a predetermined value smaller than 1 is transmitted as an adjustment signal. A load matching device is repeatedly controlled based on the adjustment signal. Consequently, the load impedance gradually approaches the impedance of the oscillator. Eventually, an impedance match is attained.
