Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for constructing and implementing a universal extension module for processing objects in a database. SOLUTION: A multi-tier database architecture comprises an object-relational database engine as a top tier, one or more domain-specific extension modules as a bottom tier, and one or more universal extension modules as a middle tier. The individual extension modules of the bottom tier operationally connect with the one or more universal extension modules which, themselves operationally connect with the database engine. The domain-specific extension modules preferably provide such functions as searching, indexing, and retrieval services of images, video, audio, time series, web pages, text, XML, spatial data, etc.

Abstract: A data processing system is disclosed for providing digital video information on subscriber demand, for very large video data files. The system enables rapid response to the requests by network subscribers, independent of the number of video files offered for selection. The data processing system is coupled through a data switch to a subscriber communications network.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and means for increasing the positional accuracy of operator controlled cursors engaged in the digitized encoding of graphic information such as line drawings. The method steps comprise those of digitizing the instantaneous contact position between the cursor and the data entry surface as reference coordinates; detecting any segment of a colored object upon the surface within a predetermined area about the cursor; ascertaining the location within the area of the centroid or the like of the detected segment; and digitizing said ascertained location as a displacement from the reference coordinates. Apparatus for practicing the method comprises an independently actuable cursor formed from a position encoder and an image scanner, the scanner generating a Boolean coded array of points counterpart to a preselected surface area. The scanned array is first buffered and then used to actuate an operator viewable LED display of the scanned array on one hand and said array is sent to a CPU on the other hand. In turn, the CPU calculates the coordinates of the centroid of that array area of contiguous points having the same designated Boolean (color) 0 or 1 value. Signals representing the calculated coordinates generated by the CPU then cause the LED display to differentially indicate the calculated centroid location to the operator such as by way of a flashing display element.
