  • Patent number: 7689938
    Abstract: A calculator having a hierarchical tree view (HTV) window provides a more efficient method of displaying calculator usage history. The HTV window provides tabs to choose between multiple windows displaying usage history such that more information can be displayed quickly without using more display area than is necessary. The HTV window also provides a view of usage such that expressions listed in the HTV window can quickly be expanded or unexpanded by the user in order to see data associated with that expression. Tool tip information may be provided to the user, displayed expressions may be re-used by double-clicking or dragging and dropping operations, expressions may be grouped into user-defined folders, and symbols may be used for easy identification of expressions, results, or folders.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7640524
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes inputting a netlist and generating symbols and connections formed according to the netlist and a selected wiring harness layout dimension. A wiring harness diagram is generated along the layout dimension according to the symbols and the connections.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7069521
    Abstract: An element selection is made in reference to a first graphical display showing a first subset of elements of a design having a number of elements coupled to one another. The selection is learned. In response, a second graphical display is provided. The second graphical display shows a second subset of the elements of the design, including at least a number of elements that are not part of the first subset but having an informational nexus to the selected element. As a result, a designer may selectively explore a complex design at the designer's direction.
