  • Patent number: 10385603
    Abstract: A window positioning apparatus for a vehicle comprising a window panel, a frame in which the window panel is guided between a closed position closing a window opening in the frame and an open position opening the window opening, and a multi-stage telescoping screw actuator mechanism connected between the window panel and the frame, the actuator mechanism being extendible to move the window panel from its open position to its closed position and collapsible to move the window panel from its closed position to its open position. The multi-stage telescoping screw actuator mechanism includes a plurality of screw members of progressively decreasing diameter respectively telescopically disposed within a next adjacent screw member of larger diameter.

  • Patent number: 8626756
    Abstract: Systems and apparatus, including computer program products, for tagging data assets. In one aspect, a computer program product includes instructions operable to cause a computer to establish a database of concept data elements, asset references, and associations. The concept data elements each represent a concept and have a hierarchy specified by concept hierarchy information. The asset references each include a storage location identifier for a corresponding one of a plurality of data assets. Each association defines a type of relationship, from a plurality of types of relationships, between a data asset and a concept represented by a concept data element.

  • Patent number: 7287029
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, program products and data structures for tagging data assets are disclosed. An interface which can receive location information to identify a storage location identifier for a data asset to be saved is presented to a user. The location information for the data asset to be saved and a selection identifying a concept and a relation between the concept and the data asset to be saved are received from the user through the interface. The asset reference for the data asset to be saved is stored in a tag database and an association is created in the tag database representing the relation between the data asset to be saved and the identified concept.

  • Patent number: 6907569
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for displaying a document on a display device. Methods include receiving a user input selecting a location in a document displayed in a display pane and requesting a show-me operation, and, in response to the input, displaying a visual reference mark indicating the selected location in the pane, then smoothly scrolling the document and the reference mark in the pane until the selected location is at a target location in the pane, and then removing the visual reference mark.

  • Patent number: 6704739
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and apparatus for tagging data assets are disclosed. The disclosed methods include a method of responding to a user request that a computer program application open a data asset. The method of opening a data asset includes presenting to the user a location interface to receive data asset location information from the user to locate a desired data asset. The location interface is linked to a searchable tag database that includes concept data elements, asset references, and associations. Concept data elements each representing a concept and have a hierarchy specified by concept hierarchy information. Asset references each comprise a storage location identifier for a corresponding data asset. Each association represents a relation between a data asset and a concept. The method also includes receiving from the user a query identifying a concept and a relation.
