Abstract: A method and system creates an interactive multimedia document that incorporates references to multimedia files that support a particular logical step or argument presented within the document. The method and system utilizes several modules including a builder module and a presenter module. The references are configured to determine, upon selection, a visual format and a relevant portion of the multimedia file to be displayed. Thus, only one copy of the multimedia file needs to be incorporated into the document. The multimedia files include text documents, portable document files, PowerPoint® presentations, audio files, video files, voice narrated graphics, and other types of files. In some embodiments, the interactive multimedia document is a legal brief and the multimedia files include depositions, supporting case law, evidence, and other materials.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sweeping seating areas is provided which enables the operator to stand substantially upright while directing a stream of air substantially horizontally along the floor supporting the seats. The apparatus includes a handle adapted for connection to a source of compressed air, a substantially elongated wand connected to the handle, and a nozzle which directs a stream of air along the floor substantially perpendicular to the wand. The nozzle is configured to intake additional air besides the compressed air supplied through the handle to provide increased air volume at pressures reduced from that supplied by the compressed air source. The method includes positioning the apparatus behind seats, particularly in stair-stepped stadium seating areas to provide a substantially horizontal air flow reaching into corners between the riser wall and landing of the seating area and around the bottoms of the seats.
