Abstract: A method for monitoring water quality in a water supply network, the method including: providing a plurality of sensor units at predefined locations along the water supply network; monitoring water in the water supply network with the sensor units to receive detected sensor values; communicating the detected sensor values from the plurality of sensor units to a computer server in real-time; analyzing the sensor values at the computer server in order to detect changes in quality of water moving between the sensor units; and outputting real-time data from the computer server to a geographic information system (GIS) user interface or a Graphic User Interface (GUI).

Abstract: A system provides customized user interface data to a media application, such as a media discovery interface, or to any application for that matter, thereby extending the original application. Via a network connection, elements of the user interface can be downloaded to the application in a package of markup data and resources, including images, text, and links. A user interface framework of the media application processes the markup from the downloaded package and utilizes packaged resources, local code components, and externally-obtained (e.g., Web resources) to render a customized application page for the media application.

A user interface framework of the media application processes the markup data from the downloaded package and utilizes packaged resources, local code components, and externally-obtained (e.g., Web resources) to render a customized application page for the media application. Based on a wide variety of computing system and user parameters, the offerings and application pages presented to the user can be filtered and/or reordered to be more appropriate for the computing system and user.

Abstract: A system provides customized user interface data to a media application, such as a media discovery interface, or to any application for that matter, thereby extending the original application. Via a network connection, elements of a menu in a user interface can be downloaded to the application in a package of resources, including images, text, and links. A user interface framework of the media application processes a menu markup data resident on the local computer system and utilizes packaged resources, local code components, and externally-obtained (e.g., Web resources) to render a customized menu for the media application.

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying a work of art generally includes at least two hook mounting means operatively arranged to be fixedly secured to a wall structure, a rod operatively arranged to be suspended within the hook mounting means at a fixed distance away from the wall structure, at least two ring means operatively arranged for slideable and rotational movement upon the rod means and each suspending a wire means therefrom, at least two wire means, each having an upper loop and a lower loop and an identical length, the wire means operatively arranged to be suspended from the ring means by the upper loops, and at least one frame having at least two attachment means, the frame operatively arranged to be suspended from the lower loops by the attachment means.

Abstract: A picture hanging system comprising a rod from which one or more pictures are suspended by a pair of wires or cables. In the preferred embodiment the cables are each suspended from a link comprising turnbuckle or the like having a nut affixed to a bolt, so that the picture may be levelled merely by rotating the nut relative to the bolt (or vice versa) to reduce or increase the spacing between the rod and each side of the picture.
