  • Patent number: 10656786
    Abstract: An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) to guide configuration of an application is disclosed. A GUI receives user input comprising dragging and dropping an icon representing a particular configurable option into a configuration region of the GUI. The drag-and-drop user input indicates a selection of the particular configurable option. The GUI receives, through one or more interface elements, user input configuring the particular configurable option. The user input provides a context for which additional configurable options are presented to the user. Based on the context, a configuration engine selects only a subset of configurable options that are associated with the particular configurable option for presentation to a user. A GUI displays icons representing the selected subset of configurable options, but not icons representing the non-selected subset of configurable options.

  • Patent number: 4192871
    Abstract: Pregnanes and androstanes are described which essentially possess a 3.alpha.-hydroxy group, a 5.alpha.-hydrogen atom or a 4.5- or 5,6-double bond, a 17.alpha.-hydrogen atom and an 11.beta.-aminoester group. Other optional substituents or double bonds may be present. The compounds have anaesthetic activity.

  • Patent number: 4110563
    Abstract: A modulation system for use in analog signal transmission processes input information in multiple analog communication channels, for multiplexing onto a data channel. The system includes:A delta modulator and logic circuitry connected therewith to suppress data transmission when the modulator produces alternating 1's and 0's and to signal activation of pulse transmission when a successive sequence of at least two 1's and two 0's is transmitted by the modulator.

  • Patent number: 3987375
    Abstract: A telephone transmission bridge including a transformer having primary and secondary windings, connected between first and second input leads and first and second output leads, respectively, has a varistor connected in series with a relatively small number of tertiary windings wound around the transformer core. The tertiary windings and varistor present a high AC impedance to signals transmitted via the input and output leads, thereby permitting AC signals to be transmitted freely via the primary and secondary windings. When transient DC signals are impressed on the input and output leads the tertiary windings and varistor exhibit a low DC impedance, the varistor conducts effectively short circuiting the primary or secondary windings to which the transient signals are transmitted and the transient signals are prevented from being transmitted through the transmission bridge.
