  • Publication number: 20040205658
    Abstract: A user friendly display interface that expedites the switching of positions of a pair of sections with each other in a displayed word processing document. The invention involves an implementation for defining one segment of displayed data in a displayed document together with defining another segment of displayed data in the displayed document, and a function enabling a user to select to swap said one segment with said another segment. There is a function responsive to such a user selection to swap for swapping the positions of the defined segments of data with each other. As an interactive aid to the user, the defined sections may be highlighted. The defined sections of data may be text; such as a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph or a whole page or more. The defined sections may also include images.

  • Publication number: 20040039991
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are disclosed for dynamically generating code within a server computer system to process contents input into an input field in a form. The client computer system receives contents that are input into an input field that is included within the form. The input field has been defined using a descriptor variable. A definition of this descriptor variable is defined within the form. The form, including the definition of the descriptor variable, is transmitted from the client computer system to the server computer system. The server computer system then dynamically generates code to process the contents entered into the input field utilizing the definition of the descriptor variable that was included in the form.

  • Patent number: 6560556
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting and locating a circuit defect. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a resistance measuring device for measuring the resistance of the circuit, a heat source, and a recorder. The heat source is placed near the surface of the circuit but is not placed in physical contact with the surface. The heat source is moved about to a plurality of points in a plane parallel to and above the surface of the circuit while the resistance of the circuit is measured when the heat source is at each of the points. The recorder is functionally connected to the resistance measuring device and to the heat source, and determines and records the horizontal location of the heat source and records the resistance of the circuit at each of these locations.
