A method and system for instructing a computer in a system of a declarative computer programming language. Unlike traditional declarative languages, the programming language may be neither relational nor functional, neither procedural nor imperative. The declarative elements may be defined as a meta-description of logic and data. The basic morphology of this meta-description may be a data construct known as a Lattice. Lattices derive declarative power from their inclusion of 'Attributes' and 'Sites'. Attributes are declarative properties that determine the internal behavior of a Lattice; while Sites are declarative data access points that establish the external relationship a Lattice may have with other Lattices, Lattice Containers, and Lattice Elements. Each of these data constructs are highly adaptable, recursive, and expandable, providing the entire language with a degree of flexibility that facilitates a very high level of abstraction.

A method and apparatus for partial updating of client interfaces in a client-server environment. The client updates the corresponding server-side through a middleware 'engine.' Individual interface element change requests may be queued. Programmatically defined events may trigger processing of the change request queue on the client, resulting in partial updating of an interface container, such as a Web page or XML document, in the client interface context. Processing may occur on the server, where resultant client update requests are likewise queued. Alternative programmatically defined events may trigger the return of the server change queue to the client. Only those elements of the interface container affected by changes in the queue are updated. This partial updating method replaces the need for refreshing an entire interface, thus affording a more desktop-like look and feel.

A method for efficiently transferring data between a client and a server includes the steps of: providing an application program; providing an application-independent client process effecting a plurality of client states; providing an application-independent server process effecting a plurality of server states; transferring data from the server process to the client process in response to an application program; and updating at least one client state in response to the transferred data. A related apparatus is also disclosed.

A method and apparatus for associating message types, elements, and/or content with data from one or more data stores are provided. Current limitations on the tracking and management of information contained within or associated with message types and elements are overcome through an association manager or 'data linking engine' that provides context-driven workflow management for end-users. The end-users may work in an application context that is not integrated in the messaging system. The application context may include databases, systems, data stores, links in Web pages, etc. If the association manager appends data to a given message, recipients of that message have the ability to access added functionality within the context of the messaging system.

A system and method for sharing files via an Internet file system is presented. In one embodiment, an internet file system is configured when a user accesses a server that is configured with an application that creates the internet file system for the user. A directory stores a home folder of the user, where folders and files in the home folder are available at a root of the internet file system. The application provides a first folder and a second folder in a root of the home folder. The first folder contains folders that represent folders and files that have been shared with the user, and the second folder contains objects of the user and communities that are of interest to the user. The application further creates an auxiliary class containing a first attribute, a second attribute, and a third attribute. The first attribute is used to quickly find other users that the folders and the files in the home folder have been shared with, the second attribute is used to store names of the other users and a path of the folders and the files that have been shared with the user, and the third attribute is used to allow the user and other users with common interests to share folders and files of the common interest.

A heat stable aspartame based sweetening composition containing a major amount of aspartame with minor stabilizing amounts of manna and Jerusalem artichoke may be used to prepare baked goods, hot drinks and the like. Preferably the composition also contains minor amounts of one or more of stevioside, chicory and chitin. Baked products made using this composition have comparable bulking properties, texture and flavor as obtained using sucrose.

A container includes an angled sidewall with a non-overlapping thread. A lid has a lid sidewall set at the same angle as the container sidewall. The angle is between 12.degree. and 18.degree. from vertical and creates a strong connection when the two pieces are screwed together. In one embodiment, the container is a compact disc holder capable of holding a compact disc free from interference and damage. A top piece (lid) of the compact disc holder screws down on a bottom piece but maintains pressure on the compact disc to hold the disc between a pedestal on the bottom piece and a stabilizer disposed on the top piece.

The present invention relates to novel compounds, vitamin supplements, diet pills, and methods for making the same. The vitamin supplements include one or more phytosterol esters, such as esters of sitosterol or stigmasterol, and/or one or more novel substiuted fructose compounds. The diet pills within the scope of the invention include antitrypsin, and may be combined with the vitamin supplements to provide diet vitamin supplements.

The present invention is directed to certain multiprotein compounds and methods for using such compounds in the treatment of cancer, psoriasis, arthritis, erythropoietic protoporphyria, and scar tissue and wounds. These multiprotein compounds include beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, and bacitracin. The beta-lactoglobulin proteins are linked to alpha-lactalbumin proteins by a plurality of organic linkages formed by reacting various alcohols, e.g., noncyclic alcohols, steroid alcohols, triterpenoid alcohols, and thioglycerol therewith. The alpha-lactalbumin proteins are linked to the bacitracin proteins by a plurality of organic linkages formed by reacting with fatty acids therewith. A selenium ion may be bonded to each bacitracin protein molecule of the multiprotein compounds. Additionally, pairs of bacitracin molecules may be linked by zinc ions or other cations, to form a salt with the bacitracin.

A concrete slab striker employs a counter-rotating roller to grade or strike off the surface of a freshly poured concrete slab while the concrete is still in the plastic state. An elongated roller is supported on a form bordering the concrete slab in engagement with the concrete surface. A manually movable support frame and pull device coupled to opposite ends of the roller allow workmen to pull the roller across the concrete slab. Simultaneously, the roller is rotated in a direction opposite to its direction of travel relative to the surface of the concrete slab. A thin coating of hardened concrete particles accumulates on the roller to impart a texturized surface to the concrete slab when cured.
