Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes receiving source code for a user interface program, generating, using the source code, the user interface program, generating, using the source code, a faux backend program, and generate, using the source code, a skeleton Application Programing Interface (API) file is disclosed. The user interface program and the faux backend program are capable of operating together as part of a test build. The skeleton API data provides a specification for an interface of production software suitable for replacing the faux backend, the specification including respective specifications for a plurality of API calls.

Abstract: A torch heat shield attachment for a butane torch or similar device includes an outer mesh material that is wrapper around an inner aluminum cylinder. The outer mesh material forms an outer mesh cylinder spaced around an inner mesh cylinder via a plurality of fasteners that secure the mesh in its cylindrical shape while spacing the formed inner and outer mesh cylinders to form a gap therebetween. The fasteners are removable and rearrangeable to customize the appearance of the torch heat shield. The aluminum plate, the two mesh cylinders formed by the mesh material, and the gap formed between the two mesh cylinders help to shield a user of the torch from excess heat by dissipating the heat from the torch tip.

Abstract: Authoring a user interface for a software product may include soliciting selection of an archetypal task from a creating user, soliciting, according to the selected archetypal task, constraints from the creating user, and generating user interface output files according to the constraints and the selected archetypal task. The user interface output files include mockups, design tool files, code, or combinations thereof. The constraints may include data types corresponding to conceptual objects, purposes of data types, end user goals, end user manipulation preferences, end user priorities. Authoring the user interface may further include suggesting to and eliciting selection by the creating user one or more interaction type.
