A sandwiching device for creating pocket sandwich-type food, the sandwiching device having a punch, a die to work with the punch to cut foodstuff, and a sealer seated within the die to seal the foodstuff while being cut with the punch and die. The punch can be lowered to press against the die and the sealer. When the foodstuff is placed on the die, pressing the punch against the die and the sealer simultaneously cuts the crust off the foodstuff while sealing the edges to create a pocket sandwich. To facilitate the sealing, the perimeter edge of the sealer may have a scalloped edge.

A computer information database system manages computer profile data for a set of computers. A profile group managing server coupled to the database manages the database such that there is a multiple node tree structure of groups for the set of computers in which each node is a group level and a top level is a root, based upon primary grouping criteria that correspond to selected computer profile data. Included in a database mapping table are fields that correspond to ranges of values for computer profile data of interest corresponding to primary grouping criteria including ranges that extend between a selected high and a selected low value. The ranges for any or all of the grouping criteria may be altered. The data in the database can be manipulated to produce summaries and reports of attributes of the computers in a given group.

Grouping of computers in a computer information database system

A user access security subsystem of a computer information database system utilizes computer grouping criteria and user type criteria to control user access to both computer profile data and system administrative features. Computer grouping criteria determine profile data access for the respective users. User type criteria determine which administrative features are accessible to the respective users, thus what administrative authority is delegated to the users. Combining computer grouping and user type criteria restricts a given user to exercising the delegated administrative authority only with respect to the particular grouping of computers to which the user has been granted access through the associated login group. To maintain access security, a given user may grant to another only those access rights that are equal to or more restrictive than the given user's rights. The subsystem enforces access restrictions by tailoring the user interface based on the associated login group and user type.

Secure user access subsystem for use in a computer information database system

A computer information database system manages computer profile data grouping the plurality of computers in groups that are nodes of a tree in accordance with user-specified grouping criteria that are respective values of computer profile data of interest, and manipulating the database data to produce summaries of attributes of the computers in a given group and in the groups in the subtree that has the given group as its root. The grouping criteria may be ranges of values for primary grouping criteria, particular values for primary and secondary grouping criteria, ranges of values for both primary and secondary grouping criteria, and so forth. The system uses a group mapping database table that includes profile value-to-match fields for the primary grouping criteria and, as appropriate, the secondary grouping criteria. To use ranges of values, the group mapping database table includes for each range an associated low limit profile value field and a high limit profile value field. If particular values are used as either or both of the primary and secondary criteria, the corresponding low and high limits may be set to the same values or respective value to match fields may be used instead of the high and low limit fields. If there are no secondary grouping criteria associated with a particular primary grouping range, the corresponding entries for the secondary low and high limit profile values or, as appropriate, the entry for the corresponding value to match field is/are set to NULL. Additional grouping criteria may also be used to further refine the selection of computers for the groups, with additional fields for associated values-to-match or ranges included in the group mapping database table. The values or ranges for any or all of the grouping criteria may be altered and/or the values or ranges for grouping criteria may be added to records in which the corresponding fields were set to NULL to change the way in which the computers are grouped.

A platform assembly designed for use in supporting a crane during the construction of a multi-story building is described. The assembly includes a platform for supporting a crane and means for fixedly attaching the platform to differing locations along the length of a structural column of such building during construction of the latter.

A dynamic lookup table device and method for storing a plurality of function values, wherein each stored function value represents a value of a function evaluated at a selected domain point of the function's domain. The device generates an input address which identifies a domain point. In response to the input address, a memory device within the lookup table device provides a lookup table entry value. The memory device includes a plurality of storage locations for storing a plurality of lookup table values. It also includes a page table storage device for mapping each input address to a corresponding storage location. Each unallocated input address is mapped to at least one shared storage location containing a default lookup table value. Each allocated input address is mapped to a corresponding storage location allocated to the input address. If the lookup table entry provided by the memory device is the default value, the lookup table device determines the value of the function at the selected domain point. It then stores the function value in a storage location of the memory allocated to the input address. Toward this end, it first determines if the input address is allocated. If the input address is unallocated, a new storage location is allocated to the input address. The content of the page table storage device is then modified to map the input address to the new storage location.

Method and apparatus for maintaining a lookup table for storing function

Virtual address space for array data to be stored in a virtual memory is allocated by establishing a table that associates segments of the virtual address space with predetermined array data dimensions and maintaining a map that identifies, for each segment, which portions of the segment have been allocated to store array data. The table and map are used to identify a contiguous portion of the virtual address space for the array data to be stored.
