  • Patent number: 11163830
    Abstract: The method includes identifying a tree data structure. The method includes identifying one or more features in the identified tree data structure, wherein the one or more features comprise at least one of: a node of the tree data structure, an object of the tree data structure, an array of the tree data structure, an object property of the tree data structure, and a root of the tree data structure. The method includes determining whether one of the one or more identified features matches a feature that initiates execution of a rule, wherein the rule defines augmentations to the tree data structure based upon one or more features in the tree data structure. The method includes augmenting the identified tree data structure based upon the determined one or more matches of the one or more identified features and the feature that initiates execution of the rule.

  • Publication number: 20090246748
    Abstract: The device for teaching the concept of elapsed time is an educational tool for teaching children the concept elapsed time, and how to understand the passage of time, with emphasis on particular time intervals, such as hourly intervals or portions of the day, and activities associated therewith. The device includes an elongated strip having longitudinally opposed first and second ends. The elongated strip further has opposed front and rear surfaces, and a first set of graduated demarcations is formed on the front surface. A first set of indicia are formed on the front surface adjacent the first set of graduated demarcations, with the first set of demarcations and the first set of indicia representing hours of the day. The first set of indicia represents the hours in the form of “1:00 P.M.” or “12:00 A.M”, for example. The first and second ends are preferably joined together to form a loop.
