Abstract:
A method of interpreting electronic documents, e.g., an interactive technical manual, provides an interpreter responsive to at least one global navigational input data of a client user in order to generate a displayable output. The displayable output is generated from informational input and a contextual status. The method of interpretation includes a base semantics module and any number of extended semantics modules, a symbol table, and an output module. A plurality of global navigational data are received at the interpreter, which associates and processes the informational data received with the contextual status and outputs displayable data which is renderable by the display system into a current view. A system and computer medium are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to diagnostic assays for the identification of Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli, a bacterial pathogen of melons. In particular, the present invention relates to a novel protein that is specific for A. avenae subsp. citrulli, as well as antibodies specific thereof. The invention also relates to the use of primers in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for the detection of Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli. The use of these primers and antibodies enables the detection of specific isolates of bacterial pathogens and the monitoring of disease development in plant populations.
Abstract:
A logic analyzer integrates the capabilities of both textual and graphical description into a common environment, so that each can be used as needed, and in conjunction with the other. In an example embodiment a trigger specification can comprise many “steps”. A step can be conceptualized as an atomic segment of flow charting that involves or investigates a quantity or condition of interest. These steps may involve testing, and a decision concerning whether or not to trigger or whether or not to advance to a next step. A given step can be either textual or graphical. A GUI (Graphical User Interface, as in computer windows, and not to be confused with ‘graphical’ meaning ‘waveform-like’) on a CRT screen in conjunction with a pointing device (e.g., mouse) provides the presentation of the integrated textual and graphical (waveform-like) trigger specification steps.
Abstract:
A system is disclosed for enabling a user to specify a trigger condition of a signal or bus by enabling the user to graphically select the signal or bus from a hierarchically arranged list of signal or bus names. The user may make this selection from a graphical user interface of a signal measurement system. The user also graphically selects the signal trigger condition. A trigger-specification element identifying the trigger condition is visually associated with a displayed name of the first signal or bus. The user may select the signal trigger condition of the first signal or bus by selecting the first trigger-specification element. The signal measurement system may be a logic analyzer. The hierarchically arranged list may be vertically aligned and each signal or bus name may be visually associated with one of a first group of trigger-specification elements by horizontal alignment. Each of the first group of trigger-specification elements enables the user to choose from a group of trigger condition choices consisting of any one of: rising-edge, falling-edge, either-edge, low-level, high-level, don't care, bus, positive pulse, and negative pulse. Each of the first group of trigger-specification elements may be associated with a trigger condition that occurs at a first point in time. The system further may enable a user to specify a second trigger condition of the first signal or bus by selecting from a second group of trigger-specification elements that are visually associated with the names of the plurality of signals or buses. Each of the second group of trigger-specification elements may be associated with a trigger condition that occurs at a second point in time. The second group of trigger-specification elements may be displayed to the right of the first group of trigger-specification elements. The second period of time occurs later than the first period of time.
