  • Patent number: 8249385
    Abstract: Techniques are described for causing digital image data to be interpreted according to a particular technique of a plurality of techniques. According to an embodiment, digital sensor data is received, and user input is received that specifies which technique of a plurality of techniques to use to generate a display that depicts an unmodified image from the sensor data, wherein each technique of the plurality of techniques generates a display from the sensor data in a different manner than each other technique of the plurality of techniques.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7580954
    Abstract: Techniques for changing operations performed relative to digital signal data that represents a recording of a signal are provided. A digital signal data-editing program displays an ordered list of items. Each item in the list corresponds to one or more operations that a user has instructed the program to perform relative to the digital signal data. The order of the items in the list determines the order in which the operations corresponding to those items are performed relative to the digital signal data. In response to user input, the program may perform a change such as inserting a new item into the list, removing an existing item from the list, altering the order of one or more items in the list, etc. The program subsequently modifies the display of the list to reflect the change. The change may be performed without disturbing the last-ordered item in the list.

  • Patent number: 5325533
    Abstract: A human oriented object programming system provides an interactive and dynamic modeling system to assist in the incremental building of computer programs which facilitates the development of complex computer programs such as operating systems and large applications with graphic user interfaces (GUIs). A program is modeled as a collection of units called components. A component represents a single compilable language element such as a class or a function. The three major functionality are the database, the compiler and the build mechanism. The database stores the components and properties. The compiler, along with compiling the source code of a property, is responsible for calculating the dependencies associated with a component. The build mechanism uses properties of components along with the compiler generated dependencies to correctly and efficiently sequence the compilation of components during a build process.
