摘要:
A system and process for controlling common information displays, referred to as shared displays, is presented. The system and process allows multiple modes of input using a set of modules that accept and display data from a variety of sources. Input modules are able to understand data from a single mode of communication and to be able to generate messages as output accordingly. An optional translation module takes discrete message units and converts them into commands or requests that can be processed by a logic module. The logic module includes any application that is running on the shared display. A layout module lays out the information output by the logic module and a display module takes the layout data and converts the information to a form that can be readily displayed on a display device.

An apparatus for diverting flow of liquid from an air conditioning condensate line away from a foundation outside of a structure. The apparatus includes a tube member having an inlet end for receiving the liquid, a joint for changing direction of the flow of liquid through the tube member and an outlet end for releasing such liquid. A cup member is disposed on the inlet end for funneling the liquid from the condensate line into the inlet end. At least one positioning member is disposed under the tube member between the elbow joint and the outlet end for supporting and securing the tube member in place such that the cup member is positioned directly below the condensate line and a gradual slope is maintained between the inlet and outlet ends wherein predetermined height of the inlet end is greater than predetermined height of the outlet end.

A spill containment system for vessels comprises a curtain capable of extending continuously around the entire vessel and having a vertical dimension sufficient to extend from a height above the waterline to a depth below the waterline. The curtain is stored in canisters on or beneath the deck inboard from the hull or rail but capable of being deployed by articulated arms to a position outboard of the ship where the curtain can be deployed into the water to maintain and control a spill from the vessel.

An in-kiln moisture measurement system using in-kiln measurement electronics to produce wood moisture content readings virtually unaffected by temperature variations. The system comprises electrodes in communication with wood in a kiln, a per kiln unit (PKU) containing signal processing circuitry, and a sending unit with a circuit comprised of redundant half-circuits that compensate for the effects of temperature variations in the electronic components. One half-circuit measures moisture content of the wood; the other half-circuit measures a reference load. Matched characteristics of the transistors in each circuit ensure that each half-circuit's readings drift at about the same rate and in the same direction when experiencing temperature changes. An automatic tuning unit can be used to automatically adjust properties of the PKU's circuitry and compensate for other capacitances in the system.

The present invention relates to a system and methodology for dynamic presentation of search result information within a selected area of a display. In one aspect, a computerized interface for data presentation is provided. The system includes a lens component associated with a portion of a user interface display, wherein the lens component defines an area to display information from at least one search result. A layout component displays a detailed subset of information within the lens component based upon the search result.

A system for displaying information to a user is disclosed. The system comprises a grouping module that organizes data items into groups that are ranked based upon at least one attribute of the data items. Also included is a presentation module that presents the ranked groups of data items to a user along with a group indicator. Methods for using the disclosed system are additionally provided.

An automatic digital image grouping system and method for automatically generating groupings of related images based on criteria that includes image metadata and spatial information. The system and method takes an unordered and unorganized set of digital images and organizes and groups related images into image subsets. The criteria for defining an image subset varies and can be customized depending on the needs of the user. Metadata (such as EXIF tags) already embedded inside the images is used to extract likely image subsets. This metadata may include the temporal proximity of images, focal length, color overlap, and geographical location. The first component of the automatic image grouping system and method is a subset image stage that analyzes the metadata and generates potential image subsets containing related images. The second component is an overlap detection stage, where potential image subset is analyzed and verified by examining pixels of the related images.

An automated or semi-automated authoring tool and method for incorporating maps and other geographical data in combination with text, photographs, and other multimedia data associated with a trip to produce a travelogue of the trip. The geographical travelogue authoring tool and method includes a number of geographically-oriented features that provide automation and are useful when blending the geographical data into the geographic travelogue. The geographic travelogue authoring method includes obtaining content items that are associated with a trip and geographically coding these content items. This serves to associate a geographic location from the trip with the content item. A map then is selected based on the trip, and the map and the geo-coded content items are automatically integrated with other multimedia data to generate the geographic travelogue.

A browsing system and method for browsing allows multiple users to access and view hypertext documents on a shared display. A browsing system includes a hypertext document converter configured to convert a component in a hypertext document to include alternate component activation tags. A hypertext display controller controls a display module to display the converted component in the hypertext document. The input processor receives and processes an input signal related to the alternate component activation tag from at least one of the plurality of input devices. The browsing system activates the converted component of the hypertext document upon receiving the input signal.
