  • Publication number: 20020069083
    Abstract: A computer system and method that simplify the generation of business activity-related model-based output (e.g., spreadsheet output, output to software applications and output to visual displays). The method includes providing a computer system with a computer (e.g., a server computer), a user interface, a database (e.g., a relational database), an authoring editor module, an interview manager module, a rules generator module, a data manager module and an output generator module. Next, a set of model questions related to a business activity is created and stored in the database using the authoring editor module. An interactive interview is then presented to a user (via the user interface) using the interview manager module. The interactive interview includes a series of context-sensitive questions dynamically generated from the set of model questions by the interview manager module during the presentation of the interactive interview.

  • Patent number: 4601146
    Abstract: A cover for enclosing the support post of a space dividing wall panel system is disclosed. The cover is planar and includes a pair of spaced, hook-shaped connectors on the inner surface thereof which coact with annular slots in the support post to mount the cover thereto. One or more of the covers may be mounted to a single post to thereby shield the post from view in most post and panel assembly configurations. The post cover may preferably include a cloth outer covering and a metal impregnated, magnetized vinyl strip on its inner surface.

  • Patent number: 4546889
    Abstract: A universal stretcher rail system for use in connection with a space dividing wall panel system including wall panels of different lengths having vertically oriented, laterally spaced slotted standards at each end thereof. The system includes an inner rail member and a plurality of outer rail members of varying lengths each individually adapted to be selectively telescopically associated with the inner rail member to produce a stretcher rail of more than one predetermined length. L-shaped support brackets are fixed to the remote ends of the inner and outer rail members to interconnect the stretcher rail to a pair of laterally spaced slotted standards.
