Abstract: A transparent jacket designed to accommodate objects such as microfilm strips, CDs, diskettes and the like. The disclosed jackets are formed of top and bottom panels of flexible synthetic plastic material and bonding members that partition the jackets into chambers where the bonding members are composed of a hot melt adhesive system bonded to ozone pre-treated regions of the panels. The bonding members can be a plurality of longitudinal members substantial parallel to each other or at least one longitudinal and at least one lateral member where the longitudinal members are substantially parallel and the lateral members are substantially parallel. Each chamber is closed on at least two sides and includes a slot in one of the panel for inserting the object into the chamber. The bonding member are of a thickness designed to accommodate the object the jacket was designed to retain.

Abstract: This invention discloses a user interface and data management procedures for the efficient display, manipulation and analysis of multi attributed data or data amenable to multidimensional display, manipulation and management. The invention is centered on the construction and use of data carrousels comprising one or more n-gons where the each n-gon can be a layered n-gon at solid or each side of each n-gon can be a single face of an embedded n-gon.
