  • Patent number: 11635946
    Abstract: A method of analyzing graphical user interface (GUI) objects. The method can include dynamically scanning attributes assigned to various GUI objects assigned to a view of a GUI in order to identify attributes associated with each of the GUI objects. For each of the GUI objects, a list of attributes can be generated. A determination can be made as to whether at least one of the GUI objects has a list of attributes that does not correspond to lists of attributes for other GUI objects. When at least one GUI object has a list of attributes that does not correspond to lists of attributes for other GUI objects, an identifier can be output. The identifier can indicate that the GUI object has the list of attributes that does not correspond to the lists of attributes for the other GUI objects.

  • Patent number: 7131233
    Abstract: A fishing lure includes a body provided with head and tail portions, apertures spaced along a longitudinal axis thereof, and an opening formed in a top surface thereof that is in fluid communication with the apertures. The opening houses scented agents therein so that same can be discharged when the lure travels through water. The opening has vertical and horizontal regions for maintaining the scented agents and further has a closed distal end restricting the agents from prematurely exiting the body. Eyelets are conjoined to the body and extend outwardly therefrom. One eyelet is disposed subjacent to the head and another eyelet is disposed subjacent to the tail. A third eyelet is disposed adjacent to the head and extends orthogonally therefrom. One treble hook is conjoined to the first eyelet and another treble hook is conjoined to the second eyelet. The treble hooks pivot about the eyelets respectively.
