  • Patent number: 5726883
    Abstract: A method of storing and retrieving a customized interface control from a user display. The user display includes an array of pathway buttons and is interconnected to plural devices on a network. The method includes displaying and activating a job programming button to display programming options including save and save as options, engaging the save option to store the customized interface control in a general saved interface control category or store the customized interface control under a user defined reference. Included are techniques for expanding the features of selected machines on the network and creating selected multi-function operations not previously available.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 1995
    Date of Patent: March 10, 1998

  • Patent number: 5689642
    Abstract: A method for a sender to automatically distribute information to a receiver on a network using devices (such as printers and facsimile machines) and communication channels (such as electronic mail) defined in a receiver profile. The receiver profile establishes the properties and mode for receipt of information for receivers on the network and the profile is published in a network repository for all network users or is accessible by selected groups or individuals on the network. Receivers have additional control over network senders by defining an information filter which further controls sender channel access (to a receiver) by defining some channels as having priority of access such as direct or delayed access, as well as selectively permitting senders to override the receiver profile. Consequently, receiver profiles provide a variable receiver definable link to senders using multiple forms of media as well as multiple hardware platforms and network configurations.

  • Patent number: 4640495
    Abstract: A moving device for moving automobiles with disabled wheels, the moving device to be used in conjunction with a conventional floor jack. The moving device includes a jack dolly having wheels upon which the jack dolly can be moved and securing means for securing the floor jack on the jack dolly. A cradle is provided having retaining means for retaining the cradle on the distal end of the jack arm in pivoting relation thereto. The cradle further has engaging means for engaging the cradle with the automobile frame or equivalent part. The cradle may be engaged with the automobile frame at a selected location thereon and the jack arm of the floor jack may be raised to lift the disabled wheels so that the automobile may be moved by moving the jack dolly on the dolly wheels.
