  • Publication number: 20090216836
    Abstract: A system, method, and program product is provided that establishes an first instant messaging session between two users. During the first instant messaging session, the first user composes an instant message. Before the first user can send the composed instant message to the second user, a detection is made that the second user has logged off of the instant messaging session. A draft of the instant message is saved at the first user's computer system onto a nonvolatile storage device. At a later time, a second instant messaging session is established between the two users. In response to the second instant messaging being established, the draft of the instant message saved on the first computer system is identified and retrieved from the nonvolatile storage device. The retrieved draft of the instant messaging is then sent from the first computer system to the second computer system.

  • Patent number: 7242413
    Abstract: Methods for selectively displaying portions of a hierarchical data set on an electronic display comprise the steps of displaying at least a portion of the hierarchical data set on an electronic display in a tree diagram format. Input may then be obtained from a user to identify one or more displayed nodes in the tree diagram that are to be hidden and/or one or more hidden nodes in the tree diagram that are to be displayed. Based on this input, at least one node in the tree diagram is partially collapsed and/or at least one node in the tree diagram may be partially expanded so as to display the hidden nodes identified by the user and so as to hide the displayed nodes identified by the user.

  • Patent number: 6928756
    Abstract: A shoe includes a shoe top structure secured to a sole having a sole forward segment for making contact with a shoe support surface such as the floor of a basketball court, and a sole rearward segment which arches upwardly and then extends rearwardly from the sole forward segment to be spaced above the shoe support surface, and including a heel in the form of a heel panel mounted beneath the sole rearward segment, and including spring means biasing the heel panel downwardly a certain distance from the sole rearward segment to define a vertical gap between the sole rearward segment and the heel panel. As a result of this construction, a downward thrust of a wearer heel inside the shoe presses the heel panel firmly against the shoe support surface drives the heel panel upwardly toward the sole rearward segment against the biasing of the spring means, thereby storing energy in the spring means.
