  • Patent number: 11526558
    Abstract: A method and system for providing accessibility to a visualization graph may include receiving a request to begin navigating the visualization graph, the visualization graph displaying a plurality of items of information, each item of information being displayed as a node and the visualization graph representing a connection between two nodes with a connecting line, identifying a central node in the visualization graph, determining a navigation order for the visualization graph based on at least one of a strength of the connection and a type of the connection between an item of information associated with the central node and items of information associated with non-central nodes, starting to navigate the visualization graph at the central node, continuing to navigate the visualization graph to non-central nodes in accordance with the determined navigation order, and providing an audio output during the navigation to provide accessibility to the visualization graph for visually impaired individuals.

  • Patent number: 7089969
    Abstract: A Brick Mason Wire Bend tool for use of adjusting the tie wire in masonry construction has the form of a bar having an intermediate bent radius section and opposite end portions which are displaced out of the plane of the intermediate section at an acute angle. The working end portion has four jaws and four slots perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The opposite end is curved and beveled and coated with a poly-carbonate coating. At the base of the central radius on opposite sides are two holes of equal distance and diameter. It is hand tooled, cold bend construction and galvanized.

  • Publication number: 20040231746
    Abstract: The Brick Mason Wire Bend is a revolutionary tool designed to bend all types/styles of tie wires that are commonly used in today's construction industry. It eliminates and simplifies the complicated method of proper wire bends. This tool will prove to be indispensable in that it is the first tool of its kind to effectively address and resolve the problems (when the tie in for the wire needs bending due to the height variation of the brick or block) that plague most brick layers. With this tool the brick layer can easily bend the wire to the desired position to make of his/her tie in the wall.
