Abstract:
In one example, a method includes receiving a first user input comprising a first motion gesture from a first location of the presence-sensitive screen to a second, different location of the presence-sensitive screen, wherein the first location is substantially at a boundary of a presence-sensing region and a non-sensing region of the presence-sensitive screen. The method also includes, responsive to receiving the first user input, displaying a group of graphical menu elements positioned substantially radially outward from the second location. The method further includes receiving a second user input to select at least one graphical menu element based on a second motion gesture provided at a third location of the presence-sensing region. The method also includes, responsive to receiving the second user input, determining an input operation, wherein the input operation executes a operation associated with the selected at least one graphical menu element.
Abstract:
Mobile systems are provided for charging electronic toll collection accounts for parking fees. The systems are configured to wirelessly request and receive tag data from an electronic toll device. Some embodiments include a vehicle and a boom, some embodiments include a handheld device, and other embodiments include combinations thereof. Methods of charging an electronic toll payment system are also provided. A mobile scan system wirelessly requests and receives tag data from an electronic toll device on a customer's vehicle which is checked for validity, and then an electronic toll collection account is charged a fee for parking.

Abstract:
Novel fluorinated diaminoalkyne derivatives are inhibitors of ornithine decarboxylase enzyme and have the following general Formula I: ##STR1## wherein R represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, or preferably, hydrogen.
Abstract:
The large scale preparation of ethyl 2,2-difluoro-4- pentenoate and 2-fluorinated methyl aminoacetonitriles by reaction of 2-H-perfluoroethyl allyl ether and n-butyl lithium and fluoromethylacetonitrile and a Grignard reagent, respectively, is largly unsuccessful because of side reactions which convert intermediate products and reactants to undesired products. Applicants have overcome these problems by performing the reactions with cooling in a continuous manner in a flow reactor with short residence time.

Abstract:
A framework that allows a transition from a conventional object method invocation model to a services model, where services are explicitly represented and managed before actually being invoked is described. According to one aspect of the invention, a runtime configurable component-based system is described having a plurality of services. Each service includes a set of properties describing the service. The properties include at least, a set of configuration properties to describe functionalities of the service, a lifecycle property to describe a state transition flow of the service for a specific runtime instance, a state property to describe each state in the lifecycle, and a set of dependency properties to describe inter-dependencies of the service with other services of the plurality of services while within a specific state in the lifecycle.
Abstract:
A modular and customizable tie bar system comprises a tie bar base, one or more tie bar covers, and a fastener. The tie bar base cooperates with a user's tie and comprises at least a mounting surface. Each tie bar cover comprises a cover plate and optional side walls. Each tie bar cover is preferably sized to cover and cooperate with the mounting surface of the tie bar base, has a decorative outer surface, and has an inner surface for facilitating attachment to the base. To facilitate removable attachment of the covers to the base, one or more fasteners such as magnets attach to the inner surface of the cover or to mounting surface of the base or to both. Preferably, several covers with differing decorative outer surfaces cooperate with a single base to allow for interchangeability and customization depending on the user's aesthetic preferences.
