摘要： A method and apparatus for using a cursor movement device such as a mouse device to position and orient a graphical object or cursor on a computer screen. The movement and orientation of the graphical object on the screen depends directly upon the path of motion of the cursor. The actual movement of the graphical object is similar to the dragging of an object through a viscous medium. In this manner, a two dimensional object can be moved and rotated on a planar display device with only two directional inputs. Also, the cursor, itself, can be treated as a graphical object. This allows the user to rotate the cursor to a desired orientation. Furthermore, the orientation of the cursor can be used to select one of a plurality of functions performed by the cursor movement device.

摘要： A method and apparatus for using and moving an tool, such as an eraser on a graphical display whose width can be changed. The invention provides a plurality of distinct areas on the tool that can be selected by a user input device, such as a stylus on an electronic tablet or a mouse. Selecting a first distinct area on the tool allows the user to move the tool without affecting the graphical images present on the display. Selecting the second distinct area on the tool allows the tool to modify the graphical image in a first manner (such as by providing a narrow line of erasure). Selecting a different distinct area on the tool allows it to modify the graphical image in a different manner (such as by providing a wider line of erasure). The orientation of the eraser can also be changed, simplifying several fine erasure applications.

摘要： A system generates an audio signature for a data item based on a source identifier associated with the data item. The system receives a source identifier along with a data item and maps the source identifier to the audio signature using a mapping function that allows a user to distinguish the audio signature from other audio signatures generated for other sources. The mapping functions always map the same source identifier to the same audio signature. The system outputs the audio signature to a user. This enables the user to associate the audio signature with the source. The data item can include, an electronic mail message, a pager signal, a telephone call, a data item in an instant messaging system, an indicator of an entry of a new participant into a conference call or a chat room, or an electronic cookie that identifies a client computer system to a web site.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for viewing plurality of objects on a display that allows a user to zoom on a non-positional display attribute of the plurality of objects. The system operates by receiving a value for a mapped attribute for an object as well as a value for a zooming parameter for the non-positional display attribute. The system maps the mapped attribute to the non-positional display attribute for the object by computing a function of the value of the mapped attribute and the zooming parameter to produce a value for the non-positional display attribute. If the value for the zooming parameter changes in a first direction, the function maps a narrower range of mapped attribute values to prominent display attribute values. If the value for the zooming parameter changes in a second direction, the function maps a wider range of mapped attribute values to prominent display attribute values. Next, the system outputs the object to the display using the non-positional display attribute. In one embodiment of the present invention, the value for the zooming parameter is received from the user through a data input device, so that the user can adjust the zooming parameter. This allows the user to narrow or widen a range of mapped attributes that are displayed with prominent display attribute values.
摘要翻译：本发明的一个实施例提供了一种用于在显示器上观看多个对象的系统，其允许用户放大多个对象的非位置显示属性。系统通过接收对象的映射属性的值以及非位置显示属性的缩放参数的值来操作。系统通过计算映射属性的值和缩放参数的函数来产生非位置显示属性的值，将映射的属性映射到对象的非位置显示属性。如果缩放参数的值在第一个方向上变化，则该功能将映射属性值的较窄范围映射到突出显示属性值。如果缩放参数的值在第二个方向上变化，则该功能将更广泛的映射属性值映射到突出显示属性值。接下来，系统使用非位置显示属性将对象输出到显示器。在本发明的一个实施例中，通过数据输入装置从用户接收变焦参数的值，使得用户可以调整变焦参数。这允许用户缩小或扩大与显示的显示属性值一起显示的映射属性范围。

摘要： In a method for interacting with a system that includes physical devices that are interfaced with computer software, a graphical representation of a physical device that can be graphically interconnected with a graphical representation of a software module is generated. The graphical representation of the physical device is capable of being represented as either a graphical copy mode representation or a graphical ghost mode representation. On-screen interaction with functionality of the physical device is enabled when the graphical representation of the physical device is in the graphical copy mode representation. A true physical state of the physical device is tracked when the graphical representation of the physical device is in the graphical ghost mode representation. The tracking of the true physical state of the physical device disables on-screen interaction with functionality of the physical device. A dual-mode graphical user interface element for interfacing with a physical device also is described.

摘要： A manual transportation vehicle is provided for use in transporting baled material. The vehicle consists of a frame, which includes a ground-travel-transport mechanism and a handle portion, and plural elongate tines pivotally mounted on the frame. The tines may be selectively pivoted within a span bounded by an upper orientation, where the tines rest against the frame, and a lower orientation defined by an adjustable stop on the frame. A lever is operatively coupled to the frame for adjusting the radial orientation of the tines within the span bounded by the upper orientation and the lower orientation. In a variation of this embodiment, the frame includes a support structure for supporting baled material rearward of the ground-travel-transport mechanism.

摘要： The disclosure relates to a microprocessor based telemetry apparatus and method utilizing a commercially available IBM PC-AT or compatible CPU. Three hardware cards fit in existing slots within the computer chassis. Software is provided to accomplish, in combination with the cards, what has essentially required a mainframe computer heretofore. The microcomputer is equipped with novel hardware and software to provide PCM bit synchronizer/decoder, decommutator, time code reader and digital-to-analog converter functions. Data is stored in real time using interleaved buffers, novel software and a hard disk. Data can be archived on digital tape. Data logging can be carried out at sustained rates approaching 2 million bits per second, up to six times faster than with MS-DOS yet files are accessible with MS-DOS. Real-time data scaling and display of up to 128 separate parameters are accomplished.
