A microprocessor circuit that is used to monitor and control a firearm. The microprocessor circuit accomplishes this by monitoring various sensor & control inputs, and acting on these inputs to execute user defined functions. The microprocessor circuit can use the sensory input to determine firearm statistics. These statistics can include the number of times the firearm has been shot, the efficiency of the firearm automatic action, range-to-target, and et cetera. The firearm system can also use a combination of sensors to fabricate a bullet chronograph whereby the muzzle velocity of a cartridge can be determined. These statistics can be date-stamped and recorded into memory. Statistics from Law Enforcement firearms can be used for courtroom evidence and police reporting. These statistics can also be used for firearm maintenance and warranty repair. The microprocessor circuit can display the statistical data to the user via simple light emitting diodes, or sophisticated liquid crystal displays. Data can also be downloaded to a computer docking station as well. The microprocessor circuit can also display the information within the optics of a riflescope. When used in conjunction with a laser range finder sensor, the microprocessor circuit can adjust the electronic cross-hairs (reticle) to compensate for the bullet trajectory.

A system for conducting performance analysis for executing tasks. The analysis involves generating a variety of trace information related to performance measures, including parallelism-related information, during execution of the task. In order to generate the trace information, target source code of interest is compiled in such a manner that executing the resulting executable code will generate execution trace information composed of a series of events. Each event stores trace information related to a variety of performance measures for the one or more processors and protection domains used. After the execution trace information has been generated, the system can use that trace information and a trace information description file to produce useful performance measure information. The trace information description file contains information that describes the types of execution events as well as the structure of the stored information. The system uses the trace information description file to organize the information in the trace information file, extracts a variety of types of performance measure information from the organized trace information, and formats the extracted information for display. The system can use default or user-defined functions to extract and format trace information for display. After the system displays one or more types of performance measure information, a user of the system can then interact with the system in a variety of ways to obtain other useful performance analysis information.

The present invention relates to the area of workflow management systems (WFMS). More particularly the inventions extends WFMS by subscription means. The subscription means operate on an audit trail stored within a database. The subscription means may encompass a multitude of subscription monitors. Subscription monitors allow to subscribe to the audit trail, i.e. to formulate certain interests as subscription selectors on information entered into the audit trail. A subscription monitor autonomously checks the audit trail for subscribed audit records. If such audit records have been determined the subscription monitor executes a subscription actuator, i.e. a pre-defined program. The subscription actuator may inform the subscriber on the subscribed audit record or may start any type of program. The current invention teaches to implement the subscription monitors as database triggers of the database storing the audit trail. The subscription selectors are realized as search conditions of the database trigger. Finally the subscription actuator can be implemented according the current teaching as user-defined functions of the database.

The database (430) and the control device (20) have security code (500) activities that are synchronized, though the two operate independently and are not electronically connected. The system provides a secure interface for obtaining access authority from the database (430). Security code requesters (400) contact the database (430) and request security codes (500) in order to activate a specific control device (20). After database (430) issuance, the security codes (500) are then input by the security code user (420) at the control device (20) location and activates the control device (20) if the key code (502) matches the key code (502) within the control device (20) and the use code (503) parameters are validated by the control device (20).

An apparatus and method enable parallelism in a computer program using parallelism that is built-in to many modem database managers. The parallelism provided by a database manager in executing user-defined functions provides an easy way to implement parallelism for database and non-database functions in a computer program without the need of hard-coding all the parallelism support in the computer program itself. A database table is defined with instructions the user wants to execute in parallel. A user-defined function is then defined that executes the instructions in the table. A database operation is then defined for the table that invokes the user-defined function. When the database operation is executed, the database manager provides parallelism by executing multiple tasks in parallel in the user-defined function. The built-in parallelism in many modem database managers thus may be used to enable parallelism in a computer program by using user-defined functions in a manner not previously thought of before.
