Abstract: A method and apparatus for clustered, collaged, and artistically integrated, presentation of digitally stored objects and their images. The clusters are each embedded with each of its own link-tokens and connected to a different set of related information and objects. The clustering also enables simultaneous and collective access of information associated to all objects in the cluster. A method and apparatus for composing the clustered image from individual images, partitioning existing integrated images or photograph of multiple objects, and composing and partitioning clustered images from multiple sources, for the purpose of presenting, associating, and grouping access of categorically related objects and their associated detailed information.

Abstract: A system and method for organizing short-cut icons on an electronic display device utilizing a virtual filing cabinet for storing the icons to reduce clutter and confusion on large electronic device screens, and enable organized storage of the icons to be accessed at will for smaller device display screens. At the time of creation, and at any later time, every icon can be deposited into the virtual filing cabinet with a user defined directory structure or the icon can be left displayed on the display device. A data field allows device user or the program-installer to enter a brief notation regarding the nature, functionality, and the name of the program, file, or data represented by the short-cut icon. An icon displayed on the display device screen can be deposited into virtual filing cabinet at any later time, at will, and can be called forth onto the display screen, at any later time, at will.

Abstract: An electronic acupressure aide and stimulating device implemented using a hand-held or palm-held electronic computing device or another computing device which may be a designated unit. The electronic acupressure aide and stimulating device allows a practitioner to apply a pulse sequence to a set of predetermined acu-points such as those related to acupressure, acupuncture, trigger points or Jin-Shin Jyutsu, to name a few. A displayed chart related to the acu-points identifies the health condition and the pulse sequence.

Abstract: A system for conducting commercial transactions over the Internet, whereby a shopper can simultaneously search for a plurality of items on a plurality of websites in a single search. The shopper can selectively specify the items of interest to be searched and can also specify and/or exclude websites to be searched. The system also searches a selectively alterable set of default websites. The system simultaneously searches for all of the items specified by the user on both the default websites and the sites specified by the shopper. Information regarding the items retrieved as a result of the search is displayed for viewing by the shopper. The shopper can simultaneously purchase selected ones of said items.

Abstract: An electronic program guide (EPG) having a grid-guide menu and multiple-level nested cascading menus, each cascading menu is adapted to be overlaid upon a current page of the grid-guide menu. During navigation, within a selected multiple-level nested cascading menu, a nested, cascading category-tree of submenus appear and are overlaid upon the current page of the grid-guide menu, until the nested, cascading category-tree is exhausted. A remote control device permits navigating within the grid-guide menu and the multiple-level nested cascading menus. Additionally, the remote control interacts with the EPG to effectuate multiple program selections during the current grid-guide menu during a single selection sequence.

Abstract: An automatic scrolling mechanism that converts the passive browser/web/computer media or any other information repository into an active media that can actively present and “push” information to the users/viewers while retaining the browser/web media's existing “pull” and interactivity functions. The same mechanism applied in TV/Video Media can give the TV/Video Media interactivity. The automatic scrolling can be controlled by placing a cursor on various control icons, such as a respective end of a floating border structure. The structure may be a box or a line. Furthermore, the structure may be a cluster of arrows, or other symbols. In operation, while the cursor is on the respective end, automatically scrolling occurs to bring forth the content that extends beyond the field of view of the browser display window into view. As the content is scrolled, the content is moved into the field of view of the browser display window in a predetermine direction designated by the respective end.

Abstract: A virus and intrusion protection apparatus for use with a personal computer or the like, and a computer network that adds a dedicated network board for exclusive communications with an external network, the World-Wide-Web and email. The dedicated network board includes the necessary duplicated computing components to isolate the Main Core of the computer or network server from external communications with the World-Wide-Web such as a central processing unit, memory, communications ports, needed modems, etc. During external communications, a switch connecting the dedicated network board to the Main Core of the computer or network server is opened. Booby trap ghost address book and ghost directories are added in the access board to trap new viruses that is not detected by the existing inspection programs.
