Methods for linking multiple events involving firearms submit event information data and firearms information data to a system that includes a database for multiple firearms events and generate a query map that correlates data in the system database with a preselected geographical grid based upon one or more preselected matching criteria to one or more data entries for a selected event. The map is used to generate a request for a possible link analysis which may be initiated by a firearms examiner and is then performed to determine if there is a link. The event information data can include a case number, a geographical location data entry, a date entry, a crime type, a weapon involved and a suspect information data field based upon input from an investigating officer while the firearms information data can include a weapon data entry and a bullet data entry based upon input from a person with firearms examiner training. The methodology can be used to prioritize multiple requests for a possible link analysis based upon information obtained in one or more query responses and the query response can display at least some of its information in a query map that correlates data in the system database with a preselected geographical grid. One or more gang database modules allow users to execute searches of a gang database and plot incidents on a geographic grid with each incident being represented by a unique icon related to a class of crime or type of incident.

The present invention provides a system and method for generating circuit schematic that includes extracting connectivity data of a plurality of devices from a netlist, categorizing the plurality of devices into groups, placing Schematic Analog Placement Constraints on all the instances by identifying instances among the groups that match with a circuit template (in-built as well as user-specified), creating a BFS instance tree of tree instances, creating a two terminal device clusters and creating instance attachments. Using the constraints during grid based placement and eventually generated schematic which look like analog schematic.

A system and methods for facilitating adaptive grid-based document layout. More particularly, the present invention features a new approach to adaptive grid-based document layout that utilizes a set of adaptive templates that are configurable in a range of different pages sizes and viewing conditions. The templates include various element types and constraint-based relationships that define the layout of elements with reference to viewing conditions under which the document content will be displayed and that define other content properties. Through a layout engine and paginator, the present invention determines a desirable sequence of templates to use for adapting document content. Additionally, the present invention provides a template authoring tool and user interface for interactively drawing and arranging layout elements within an adaptive template.

A method and system for implementing automatic recovery from failure of resources in a grid-based distributed database is provided. The method includes determining the category of each node in the subgroup of nodes, where the determination identifies each node as at least one of a worker node and an idle node. The method further includes saving state of each worker node engaged in execution of a task in a shared memory at pre-determined time intervals. Each worker node is monitored by one or more idle nodes in each sub-group. Upon detection of no change in state of worker node for a pre-determined period of time, a failure notification is raised by one or more idle nodes that have detected failure of the worker node.
