Abstract: A method and system for rendering graphics based on user customizations in a computer graphics application are disclosed. The customizations relate to various properties of one or more graphical elements in the graphic. Such properties include positioning, size, formatting and other visual attributes associated with the graphical elements. These properties may be defined as either semantic properties or presentation properties. Semantic properties are persistent across all graphic definitions. Presentation properties are specific to the graphic definition to which each particular graphic belongs. Thus, a customization to a semantic property of a displayed graphic is preserved in memory for application not only to the currently displayed graphic, but also to all other graphic definitions that may be displayed in the future. In contrast, a customization to a presentation property is only preserved for the currently displayed graphic, and thus not preserved for all other graphic definitions.

Abstract: A breadcrumb path for use in navigating a hierarchical data set may be supplemented with one or more supplemental breadcrumbs representing preferred locations within the hierarchical data set. The supplemental breadcrumb may represent a previously visited location within the hierarchical data set, and may be further limited to the previously visited locations that are subordinate to the currently selected location. The supplemental breadcrumb may also represent a frequently visited location within the hierarchical data set. For scoped hierarchical data sets, the preferred location may represent a previously visited location within the scope of the selected location, or a frequently visited location within the scope of the selected location. Several embodiments of user interface components featuring such supplemented breadcrumb lists and having various advantages are presented, as well as a few contexts for applying such supplemental breadcrumbs in a breadcrumb list.

Abstract: One or more hierarchical scopes may be applied to various portions of a hierarchical data set to represent a logical grouping of various nodes in the hierarchy. Various user interfaces may be devised to navigate within such a scoped hierarchical data set, such as a scoped treeview that limits the viewed portion of the tree to the hierarchical scope and/or a scoped breadcrumb list containing an aggregated breadcrumb for the nodes sharing a scope to condense the breadcrumb list. Several embodiments of user interface components featuring such scoped treeviews and/or scoped breadcrumb lists and having various advantages are presented, as well as a few contexts for applying such scoped treeviews and/or scoped breadcrumb lists.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for inspecting hard-copy container labels which carry alpha-numeric data using an sensing device which captures information from the label and compares that data electronically against a pre-define set of parameters.

Abstract: An osmotic device is disclosed comprising an exterior coat comprising an estrogenic and a progestogenic steroid that are delivered immediately as a contraceptive pair for fertility regulation in a female, and a compartment comprising an estrogenic steroid that is delivered at a controlled rate over a prolonged period of time for fertility regulation in a female.
