Abstract: A bracket is provided for anchoring a flexible member such as a chain to a surface in such a way as to allow such member to be repositioned over a range of locations along the bracket, once the bracket has been fastened to the surface. The bracket includes an elongated slot along which the terminal end of the flexible member may slide, thereby permitting the anchoring end of the flexible member to be positioned over a range of positions along the bracket.

Abstract: A holdback device for holding a door or gate in either an open or closed position is described. A plate member is affixed to a support, adjacent the vertical side edge of the door in the selected open or closed position, and is provided with an upstanding finger member and a pivotally mounted bail intermediate the ends thereof. A chain is secured to the vertical side edge of the door and is passed upwardly through the bail and the end is slipped over the end of the finger member, which is then allowed to fall back to its rest position and thereby secures the door in the selected open or closed position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating analysis of data in a data base. The data base data is displayed on a touch sensitive screen. A calculator icon is overlayed on the data. A user selects a function, such as "TOTAL," by touching a corresponding function button displayed as part of the calculator icon. The user then selects the data to be totaled by touching a row header or column header for the data rows or columns he wishes to include in the calculation. Once the data for the calculation is selected, a "=" icon is touched, and a new row or column holding the results of the calculation is inserted into the displayed data. The calculation is displayed in a window of the calculator icon as the calculation is built by the user.
