  • Multifunction display design tool
    Patent number: 7779359
    Abstract: A method that includes but is not limited to accepting user input specifying a geometrical arrangement of two or more buttons on one or more displayed pages; accepting user input labeling at least two of the two or more buttons on the one or more displayed pages; accepting user input defining at least one interaction between the labeled at least two buttons; accepting user input specifying at least one constraint cost for the defined at least one interaction; and assigning the labels of the at least two buttons among the two or more buttons on one or more displayed pages such that the at least one constraint cost is substantially optimized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2001

  • Interchangeable low-backscatter aperture structure
    Patent number: 6896377
    Abstract: An interchangeable low-backscatter aperture structure includes but is not limited to an aperture insert that is releasably engaged in a base. The aperture insert includes an aperture that may be of any shape. For example, the aperture may comprise a slit or it may be circular. The aperture insert may be held in the base by any securing mechanism capable of releasably securing the insert to the base. In one embodiment the securing mechanism includes a plurality of pressure clips.
