A robust method to compress relations close to their entropy while still allowing efficient queries. Column values are encoded into variable length codes to exploit skew in their frequencies. The codes in each tuple are concatenated and the resulting tuplecodes are sorted and delta-coded to exploit the lack of ordering in a relation. Correlation is exploited either by co-coding correlated columns, or by using a sort order that can leverage the correlation. Also presented is a novel Huffman coding scheme, called segregated coding, that preserves maximum compression while allowing range and equality predicates on the compressed data, without even accessing the full dictionary. Delta coding is exploited to speed up queries, by reusing computations performed on nearly identical records.

A method and system for accessing and display of data records from large data sets. The method includes defining a plurality of boundaries to logically partition the large data set into a plurality of buckets in accordance with a predefined sort order. The sort order is based on data stored in at least two columns of a database table in which at least a base portion of each data record is stored. In response to a request to retrieve a data record or group of related records, such as all contacts having a given first and last name, a determination is made to which bucket the data record or at least a portion of group of related records are stored in. A query is then formulated to retrieve a subset of the large set of records from the database corresponding to data records contained in the bucket.

An intercepting proxy server processes traffic between an enterprise user and a cloud application. The intercepting proxy server provides interception of real data elements in communications from the enterprise to the cloud and replacing them with obfuscating tokens. Tokens included in results returned from the cloud, are intercepted by the intercepting proxy server, and replaced with the corresponding real data elements. In order for the sort order of the tokens to correspond to the sort order of the corresponding real data elements, a sort order preserving data compression is performed on parts of the real data elements, and the compressed values concatenated with the obfuscated tokens, thus producing sortable tokens which, even though they are obfuscated, appear in the correct sort order in the cloud application.

A method of discriminating between orders is comprised of evaluating a queue of orders based on whether each prescription within each order can be filled in an automated or non-automated manner.

For those orders that can be filled entirely in an automated manner, the set of workstations for each prescription excludes a pharmacist review workstation. Another aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method of operating a prescription filling facility of the type having automated equipment and non-automated equipment for filling orders, the improvement comprising identifying an order that can be filled with automated equipment and routing at least one container to be filled for the order in a manner that eliminates a review of the order by a pharmacist. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be relied upon in construing the claims

The embodiment of the invention provides order sorting method and system. The method comprises the steps of: generating a storehouse plane layout according to the putting condition of storehouse shelves; then computing the shortest path between nodes in a storehouse; finding out the positions, sizes and the weight of goods required for an order from pre-stored data; computing the shortest path and distance between any two pieces of required goods by using the shortest path between the nodes; and computing the optimal sorting path according to the capacity of sorting equipment and the required quantity of the required goods in the order so as to sort orders by the sorting equipment according to the optimal sorting path. The embodiment of the invention can effectively compute the sorting path, reduce the working cost, enhance the working efficiency, and solve the problems of inconsistent shelf arrangement, relatively small shelf height, and small expense difference caused by storing and taking the goods on different layers of shelves of the same goods position; and sorting workers mainly need to optimize order sorting problem in the horizontal movement distance for sorting work.

A method and system for high speed detailed placement of cells within an integrated circuit design. The novel detailed placement system receives a set of cells of an integrated circuit design where the cells have undergone coarse placement. Cells have variable width but the same height (or vice-versa). The cells are each assigned an initial coordinate position, e.g., using floating point precision values. During detailed placement, the cell coordinates are assigned to x-axis and y-axis grid lines. The detailed placement process sorts the cells based on their coordinates along a first axis, e.g., their x-axis coordinates; sort order dictates cell placement order. In one embodiment, sort order preference is given to the wider cells. For a given cell, placement is performed by scanning through the rows of the substrate and selecting the left-most positioned vacant site of each row as a candidate site for placement. A site is vacant if it does not contain a previously placed cell. Of the candidate sites, a valid site having the lowest cost (e.g., the nearest site) is selected for the cell. Some candidate sites are invalid due to the presence of obstructions or incompatible metal layers. A candidate site can also be invalid if it lies too far to the left of the cell, based on a left factor. Placement from left to right along the rows continues in this manner until all cells are placed. Alternatively, the process could run right to left, down to up or up to down.

Described are collection view objects, which provide a user interface view over a data collection, where each view may have its own sort order, filter and / or grouping criteria, as well as current item semantics. A user interface element is bound to a data collection, such as via markup language (e.g., XAML). At runtime, a collection view object is instantiated as an indirection between the data collection and the user interface element, whereby a collection of data items is viewed according to how each collection view object is currently configured with respect to sorting, filtering and / or grouping. Multiple collection views may be specified on the same data collection, whereby distinct simultaneous views of the data items may be presented in different user interface elements. The collection view object dynamically updates the displayed data as changes are made in the data collection. A current item may be selected within the collection view.
