Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that employ a client side browser application and server side website applications that use optimization, prefetching, and caching of user interactions. These are used in combination with mouseover callouts to provide browsable search result refinements and additional product information. The systems and methods can be applied to site search applications and site-wide navigation and can be integrated with web analytics solutions to optimize the user interface and information provided based on real time end user browsing trends.

Abstract: A scaffolding system having a first frame connected to a second frame with at least one platform disposed therebetween. The first frame includes a first set of posts connected together by an upper cross member. The second frame includes a second set of posts connected together by a lower cross member. The platform is adapted to be detachably secured to the upper cross member and sandwiched between the upper cross member and the lower cross member such that an upper surface of the lower cross member is generally flush with the platform, thus forming a continuous walking surface. The lower cross member prevents removal of the platform while the second frame is connected to the first frame.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a system and method for managing a real-time distributed collaborative drawing activity. A community of collaborators associated with client computers are connected via a communications link with a server computer. Each collaborator contributes to the real-time design of a shared drawing that is displayed in each collaborator's virtual whiteboard. Contributions to the shared drawing as well as communications between the collaborators are transmitted to the server computer. The server computer broadcasts the communication to each of the collaborators engaged in the design activity. Each user has a set of drawing tools that are used to generate a variety of drawing strokes that edit the shared drawing. A curve generating procedure is used to capture the manner in which the user draws the stroke in order to emulate a selected drawing tool. A compact representation of the user's stroke is generated and transmitted to each collaborator.
