Abstract: A computer-implemented method for launching an installed application comprising the steps of: providing a web browser; displaying in the web browser a first list of at least one three-dimensional object; selecting at least one three-dimensional object among said first list; determining a second list of at least one installed application(s) able to use the selected object(s) of the first list; displaying in the web browser said second list; selecting an application in said second list; and launching said selected application of said second list together with the opening of the selected object(s) of the first list.

Abstract: A software control method and apparatus for implementing a knowledge-based polymorph undockable toolbar within an object scene. The undockable toolbar can be used to perform actions on objects created and managed by computer software applications. A knowledge-based polymorph undockable toolbar can merges into a relatively small area, tools for executing various commands that would require substantial screen space if represented by standard icons on a toolbar. The present invention can be used to manipulate non-constrained objects or groups of objects included in an assembly that are linked to each other by constraints. The knowledge based polymorph undockable toolbar can also act to reduce the number of user interactions needed to perform a manipulation task.

Abstract: The invention proposes a process for rendering an object view using a PLM database. The database comprises modeled objects and relations between said modeled objects. Said modeled objects are associated to a set of values of attributes, whose values are stored in the database or computable based on relations involving said modeled objects. The process comprises displaying to the user a view of a set of modeled objects; receiving a selection by a user of an attribute; querying the database for a modeled object to be rendered; providing a value of the selected attribute, associated to said modeled object; and rendering said modeled object in the view according to the provided value of the attribute. It is also possible for the user to select a value of an attribute and the rendering will be carried out only on the object, whose value(s) matches with the selected value.

Abstract: The invention proposes interacting with a database having data related to modeled products and parts using a graphical user interface displayed by a computer. The graphical user interface is adapted to allow a user to access the database. The method also includes providing within the graphical user interface a toolbar with at least one field suitable for displaying an argument. The toolbar is adapted for allowing a user to execute a function using the argument. The method further includes the steps of querying the database and updating the argument displayed in the field using a result of the querying step.

Abstract: A secure electronic voting device includes a reading device for reading electronic voting ballots carrying an item of voting information; an insertion device inserting a voting ballot into the reading device and preventing withdrawal of the ballot; a checking device checking validity of said voting ballot, issuing a signal transferring the voting ballot to a ballot box, after the item of voting information has been taken into account, when the voting ballot and/or the voting conditions are considered valid; a processor processing the item of voting information read by the reading device; a transfer device automatically transferring the voting ballot, after receipt of said signal confirming it has been taken into account and without human intervention, to the ballot box, allowing double counting of the voting information, one using data read by the reading device, and another performed in a deferred manner, by reprocessing voting ballots kept in the ballot box.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a product edition and simulation system, comprising a storage system having data related to modeled object. The product edition and simulation system has a graphical user interface, having an edition workbench comprising a plurality of software tools suitable for editing a subset of features of the modeled objects. The edition workbench is adapted for displaying a user-interactive graphical tool in the graphical user interface. The graphical tool is adapted for triggering, upon user action, a simulation of a modeled object according to a feature not comprised in the subset, the simulation using a result of a query in the storage system.
