Abstract: An architecture and electric system for controlling various devices is disclosed. The system uses modular, interchangeable components that can perform one or several tasks, such as interacting with a human user, controlling an external device, communicating and managing communications between several modules, storing and retrieving information, and acting as a master module. The modules are stackable and can interface with any other module.

Abstract: A computer program, which is a user interface for exploring and analyzing information in a plurality of analysis environments, comprises the steps of receiving information to be analyzed, generating data objects, each of which has a plurality of associated attributes, creating a first visualization frame that has a plurality of first elements. The first visualization frame is created by arranging each of the data objects according to at least one of its plurality of attributes, and the attributes remain associated with the respective data objects. The final step creates at least one second visualization frame by manipulating individual first elements of the first visualization frame according to a second one of the plurality of attributes and arranging the data objects according to a second one of the plurality of attributes. The attributes remain associated with the respective data objects.
