Abstract: A method and apparatus for organizing and processing pieces of interrelated information (or “thoughts”) using a digital computer is disclosed. The invention employs a graphical user interface to facilitate user interaction with highly flexible, associative “matrices” that enable users conveniently to organize digitally-stored thoughts and their network of interrelationships. Each of the thoughts may be affiliated with one or more application programs, such as a word processing or spreadsheet utility, or an Internet browser. Users are able conveniently to select a current thought along with any applications or content associated with that thought by interacting with the graphical representation. That representation is automatically reoriented about the selected thought, and is revised to reflect only those thoughts having predetermined relations to that current thought. Users can easily modify the matrix by interactively redefining relations between thoughts.

Abstract: A device for fixing ear-phones and/or mini-microphones, especially to items of clothing or equipment. The aim of the invention is to develop a secure, easy to handle, precisely positionable, economical, optional means of fixing even earphones and/or mini-microphones whose structural shapes are years old. The fixing means should neither increase the transport weight nor the construction volume of the earphones and/or mini-microphones, should be usable even in an adapted state in a appropriate position on the item of clothing and/or equipment, and should guarantee (with the exception of special structural shapes) overload protection with an emergency triggering function when there is a strong pull on the earphone and/or microphone cable. To this end, a permanent magnet, a magnet system or an adhesive system is provided at the designated fixing point for the earphones and/or mini-microphones outside or inside of the particular item of clothing and/or equipment.

Abstract: A wearing apparel for the upper part of the body that permits articles of daily use and other items required on travels to be stowed away, in a manner such that it can be clearly overseen and is theft-proof and permits quick access to such articles and items at any time. The wearing apparel comprises two front components that can be connected with each other, and an object of use that is preferably carried together the wearing apparel. A slide-in aperture extends from the hem up into the armhole and is arranged offset sideways on the front or back component in the area connecting the front components of the wearing apparel with the back component, on one or both sides of the wearing apparel or in said area of the wearing apparel. The object of use carried together with the wearing apparel is equipped with a shoulder strap to be worn on the body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for fixing earphones and/or mini-microphones, especially to items of clothing or equipment. The aim of the invention is to develop a secure, easy to handle, precisely positionable, economical, optimal means of fixing even earphones and/or mini-microphones whose structural shapes are years old. Said fixing means should neither increase the transport weight nor the construction volume of the earphones and/or mini-microphones, should be usable even in an adapted state in a appropriate position on the item of clothing and/or equipment, and should guarantee (with the exception of special structural shapes) overload protection with an emergency triggering function when there is a strong pull on the earphone and/or microphone cable. To this end, a permanent magnet (2), a magnet system (6) or an adhesive system (1) is provided at the designated fixing point for the earphones (9) and/or mini-microphones (16) outside of/inside the particular item of clothing and/or equipment.
