The Grid Slicer Demo, an illustration of our Grid DataBlade, allows users to extract 2D slices, at arbitrary inclinations, from a 3D gridded 1.6GB sample derived from the male data set of the Visible Human Project of the US National Library of Medicine. Briefly, this male cadaver was frozen in a blue gelatin solution, and then cryosectioned into 1871 parallel slices at 1mm intervals, each of which provided a high resolution colored image.

In the Winds Demo, our Universal File Interface (UFI) product is used to query gridded weather forecast information that is residing in NetCDF files as if the information were actually stored as rows in a normal database table. This "virtual" database table is then joined with a spatial "Islands" table (using the Informix Spatial DataBlade) to restrict the display of arrows, representing wind speed, to every second grid point and to just those grid points that lie over the ocean.

The How Accurate Was that Weather Model Forecast? Demo illustrates how our Universal File Interface (UFI) product can be used to combine and/or compare several sources of information, some stored in files, and some stored in a database. The data stored in files are forecast temperatures, wind speeds and directions and precipitation. Once a day, every day, we download these two sets of complementary weather forecast files (in GRIB format). Read more...

Our Data Fitting Demo grew out of numerous BCS projects involving the analysis of data using "curve fitting" or "regression" techniques. This simple demo illustrates that by considering alternative criteria for "goodness of fit" when calculating a trend line for a set of data pairs, sometimes quite different interpretations of the same data can emerge.
