Abstract: A plant support system includes a support ring having at least one wall portion, and at least one support beam coupled to the at least one wall portion and configured to increase rigidity of the at least one wall portion. Further, the plant support system also includes a base coupled to the at least one wall portion and having at least one stationary clamping surface; a clamp spine having a movable clamping surface situated opposite the at least one stationary clamping surface; and a plurality of spring leaves coupled to the clamp spine and configured to bias the clamp spine.

Abstract: A graphical user interface for a computer system with attached processor devices transfers input control for a pointing device on a principal computer display to native display devices and interfaces on attached devices whenever the system senses that a display cursor has moved to the edge of a display in the direction of the attached device.

Abstract: A real time visual display which enables a speaker to compare values of parameters in his own speech with measured values of acoustic information in the listener's environment. The speaker is thus able to use the display as feedback to adjust and modulate his own speech patterns to increase the listener's understanding. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the visual display is presented to the speaker via a special set of eyeglasses.
