  • Patent number: 5734831
    Abstract: A forms based browser interface system for configuring and administering a network server from a remote location. Using forms, such as hyper-text markup language forms, the system provides a graphical user interface that allows a novice user, unaware of the platform, architecture or even operating system of the network server, to transact administrative tasks on the network server. An interfacing computer, at which the novice user performs administrative tasks upon the network server, is connected to the network server via network connections. The interfacing computer is equipped with a browser program that can display and interact with the forms created by the network server. The forms allow the user to select among various administrative tasks to be performed on the server. The forms also allow the user to input parameters for administration of the server such as new account names when adding new accounts for the server.

  • Patent number: 4403625
    Abstract: An inexpensive disposable buccal hygenic device is disclosed. An elongated cylindrical wooden body of a generally circular cross-section is pointed at each of its ends and is of such a size that the body is comparable functionally to a conventional toothpick. The elongated body is divided transversely into two separable members of generally similar length. The first member has a reduced cross-section for a distance immediately adjacent to the transverse division. The second member has an internal cavity therein contiguous with the transverse division. The internal cavity is adapted to fit slidably over the reduced cross-section portion of the first member and is of a depth at least equal to the distance of reduced cross-section on the first member so that a cavity remains when the first member is inserted fully into the second member.
