  • Publication number: 20180089866
    Abstract: A 3D swivel bar chart has primary bars with associated secondary bars shown in a condensed form, such as along the z-axis hidden behind a corresponding primary bar. When a primary bar is selected, associated secondary bars swivel out from the z-axis to the front plane. When deselected, the secondary bars swivel back to the z-axis. The user can see additional information is tied to a bar without cluttering the presentation. For an application involving evaluation of a cognitive system, the primary bars can represent confidence levels for candidate answers to a natural language question. The chart includes a legend which displays a particular result when the corresponding primary bar is selected. When a label in the legend is selected, the visualization is augmented with explanatory information pertaining to the particular result, such as evidence extracted from corpora used by the cognitive system to arrive at the result.

  • Patent number: 9839140
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for manufacturing an electronic component carrier. The method comprises positioning a header of a frame between opposing attachment arms extending outwardly for attaching an electronic component for seating within the frame. Further, latching members of a latching mechanism of the frame are positioned at a distal end of each of the attachment arms for releaseably seating the electronic component. The attachment arms are resiliently flexible such that the latching members bend to a release position and resiliently return to a grasping position for releasing and grasping the electronic component. Handling levers are positioned for removably mating the electronic component to a connector on a circuit board. The handling levers extend upwardly through an outer casing housing the circuit board when in an open position, and the handling levers are substantially parallel with a top surface of the header when in a closed position.
