Abstract: A method of controlling the display of an articulated graphical image in a graphical environment comprises sensing manipulation of a user object, controlling the displayed position or shape of the articulated graphical image in relation to the sensed manipulation, and when the articulated graphical image interacts with a graphical object, changing the relationship between the displayed position or shape of the articulated graphical image and the sensed manipulation. In one version, the display of the graphical image is calculated by an algorithm utilizing numerical methods.

Abstract: An apparatus is configured to control at least one function of a bed located in a room from a remote location outside of the room. The apparatus includes a controller configured to control the at least one bed function, an interface device coupled to the controller, and an input device located at the remote location. The input device is configured to generate a message signal to control the at least one bed function. The message signal is transmitted from the input device to the interface device and from the interface device to the controller to control the at least one bed function from the remote location.

Abstract: An infant stroller includes a lower frame with wheels coupled thereto and an upper frame extending upwardly from the lower frame. A carriage body is supported atop the upper frame and includes a bottom for supporting an infant with side, front, and rear walls extending upwardly therefrom. A canopy shaped like a helmet includes side walls pivotally coupled to the carriage body side walls adjacent the rear wall thereof. The canopy is pivotally movable between a first configuration situated substantially over a rear portion of the carriage body for shielding the infant and a second configuration substantially beneath the carriage for partially exposing the infant. A face shield bar is pivotally coupled to the canopy on which toys to amuse the infant may be suspended. The bar may be pivotally moved to a non-use configuration. Organizational indicia may be positioned or imprinted on each canopy side wall.

Abstract: A system is provided for locating and tracking tags within an area. Each tag includes a transmitter configured to transmit a unique identifier periodically. Location messages are received and processed by at least one monitoring system to determine whether a tag has changed location.

Abstract: Persistent reservations may be processed on an as-needed basis after a power cycle sequence. A computer storage device may have persistent reservations for various volumes that are to be deleted after a power cycle but before accepting any reservation I/O requests for those volumes. After a start up sequence, the device comes on-line prior to deleting the required registrations. Prior to the first reservation I/O request for the particular volume, the registrations are processed for that volume and the necessary registrations are deleted.
