  • Patent number: 10980165
    Abstract: An implement frame having a carriage frame for coupling to a towing vehicle and wheels to support the frame for movement over a ground surface. A pivot frame is rotationally mounted to the carriage frame and a lift assembly is coupled to the pivot frame via a shift assembly. A tool bar is mounted to the lift assembly. The shift assembly moves the tool bar forward as it is moved from the field use position to the transport position. The wheels are mounted to swing arms to move the wheels inward for a narrow transport position.

  • Patent number: 9507979
    Abstract: A system and method that combines RFID tag reader circuitry and a touch sensor, wherein the system and method may reduce power consumption of a battery powered system by detecting the presence of an RFID tag by using a lower power consumption touch sensor instead of scanning for the RFID tag by using higher power RFID tag detection and reading circuitry, controlling activation and deactivation of the RFID tag detection and reading circuitry when the touch sensor has detected the presence of the RFID tag, and reconfiguring sensor electrodes so that the electrodes may form a touch sensor or an antenna as needed.

  • Patent number: 8878777
    Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for corner control are described. Each of the four corners of a rectangular display field can be individually configured to be a rounded corner or an angled corner. In some implementations, a method can include providing a user interface item for display. The user interface item can include four control elements. Each of the control elements can correspond to a corner of a display field. Each of the control elements can individually and independently control a shape of the corresponding corner of the display field. The display field can have one or more corners in rounded shape and one or more corners in angled shape, according to user input received through the user interface item.

  • Publication number: 20140137019
    Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems for object connection are described. A first user interface item representing a first data object can be visually connected to a second user interface item representing a second data object. Once connected, a connection line representing the connection can be displayed. Moving the first connected user interface item can cause the second connected user interface item to move in synchronization with the first user interface item. During movement of the user interface items, relative positions of the user interface items can remain unchanged.

  • Patent number: 8593432
    Abstract: A massively parallel capacitive touchpad architecture that enables the taking of simultaneous measurements that can be used to mathematically divide out and cancel the effect of the noise in one axis by isolating the noise to only the electrodes under or near the fingers being detected by using a sample and hold circuit that provides advantages over existing measurement circuits.

  • Patent number: 8484560
    Abstract: A system displays content from a database in a formatted view. The formatted view includes one or more data fields arranged in one or more data sections. Each of the data sections includes a sub-summary display field. The system receives a request to modify data in one of the data fields. In response, the system reformats the formatted view. The reformatting includes moving the data field from a first data section to a second data section and updating the sub-summary display field in the first data section and the sub-summary display field in the second data section. The system displays the reformatted view.

  • Patent number: 8438177
    Abstract: A graphical user interface in a database application includes a control for manipulating a result set of a query. The control is operable to display multiple graphical representations of a result ratio between a total number of rows in a database table returned in response to the query and a total number of rows of the database table. By interacting with the control, the user can switch (e.g., toggle) between graphical representations of the result ratio. The toggling can be achieved by automatically creating supplemental queries to the database. The graphical representations can be a pie chart, bar chart, eye chart or any other graphical representation that is suitable for displaying the result ratio.
