A method and computer-executable program is disclosed for graphically rendering information of a database which can be arranged in form of a table, and for extraction associations between database records. An element and / or an arithmetic expression computed from the records in the database can be associated with a graphic representation consisting of instructions, such as setting a fill color, drawing a rectangle, and so on. Graphic renditions can include tables, histograms, bar charts, timeline displays, pie charts, and tree maps, as well as combinations of such displays. The proposed visualization-rendering method is flexible and computationally fast, since at most O(N) graphic instructions need to be generated for a database of N records.

Techniques for performing non-event pattern matching on continuous event streams using variable duration. The duration value used in non-event pattern matching can be variable. Accordingly, a first pattern match candidate can have a different associated duration from a second pattern match candidate for matches arising from events received via an event stream. In certain embodiments, the duration for a candidate pattern match may be based upon one or more attributes of an event that started the candidate pattern match or based upon an expression (e.g., an arithmetic expression) involving one or more attributes of the event.

A method and system for versatile automated commissioning tools providing an automated process for calculating commissions on a reoccurring basis under a plurality of user defined commission plans. In one illustrative embodiment, the automated process entails receiving a request to calculate commissions for a specific instance and then identifying the commission plans having commissions owing and calculable for the specific instance. Once the plans have been identified, the process next comprises importing the appropriate sales records from an external source and calculating commissions for recipients named in connection with the commission plans. To calculate the commissions for a commission plan, one or more user defined queries specific to the commission plan are applied to the imported sales records to manipulate the sales records and to extract the desired sales figures. After extraction, the sales figures are dynamically incorporated into an arithmetic expression previously defined by the user whereby the commission for each of the recipients is calculated. Once the commissions have been calculated for the specific instance, the commissions for another specific instance may be calculated with little or no further input required from the user. In another illustrative embodiment, the user defines the terms and criteria by which the commissions will be calculated through a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface allows an unsophisticated user to define the parameters of the various aspects of the present invention without an extensive knowledge of a programming language. The parameters entered by the user are then saved in a table format, thereby allowing them to be accessed easily and efficiently. Notably, a three-tiered architecture allows the deployment of the present invention in a single computer setting or a networked environment.

The interpolation unit outputs interpolated pixel values having all color information by interpolating a pixel value at an interpolation point for each color information on the basis of a predetermined arithmetic expression from the pixel values of pixels of the same color falling within a predetermined interpolation region containing the interpolation point among all replacement information-added image data output from the replacement unit. When replacement information of any pixel used for calculation indicates replacement, the interpolation unit uses an arithmetic expression different from the arithmetic expression.

An engine control apparatus which may be employed in automotive vehicles. The engine control apparatus is equipped with a controlled variable arithmetic expression which defines correlations between combustion parameters associated with combustion conditions of an engine and controlled variables actuators for an operation of the engine.

An optimization apparatus is capable of improving the execution efficiency of a loop that includes a loop carry dependency between consecutive iterations of the loop. For example, a value resulting from one iteration is used in an immediately following iteration. When the arithmetic expression “a[i+1]=a[i]*3+2;” is included in a loop body, and a value resulting from the arithmetic expression “a[i+1]=a[i]*3+2;” in one iteration is used in a following iteration, execution delays occur in pipeline processing of the loop. Here, the arithmetic expression “a[i+1]=a[i]*3+2;” is transformed into the arithmetic expression “a[i+4]=a[i]*81+80;” to expand the dependency distance. By doing so, the execution delays can be decreased.
