  • Patent number: 6111573
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for operating a graphic user interface in a windowing operating system. A value representing a mapping of logical inches to real measurement units is determined from information stored in the operating system. A physical size in real measurement units of a display device is determined. A user viewing the display device is asked to identify a displayed graphic image having a preselected dimension in real measurement units. A plurality of graphic objects are displayed, where each of the graphic objects have a different size. The user viewing the plurality of graphic object is asked to select one of the graphic objects. The size of the selected graphic object is saved as a first user-defined size.

  • Patent number: 6006224
    Abstract: A database system including a query mechanism for accessing data stored in the database. The database system includes classes comprising stored code enabling User generated database queries comprise data indicating one or more addresses at which the desired data resides. The query mechanism parses a query in to a plurality of query components. A query class in the query system instantiates a query component object for each of the query components. The query component objects are chained together to form query chains that enable message passing between the query component objects.

  • Patent number: 4388340
    Abstract: A cooked and frozen chopped egg product is disclosed which is suitable as a condiment for foodstuffs. The chopped egg product is produced by a process comprising; dynamically or continuously preheating egg yolks to a product temperature which does not exceed about 183.degree. F. and dynamically or continuously preheating egg whites to a product temperature which does not exceed about 167.degree. F. Preheating of the yolks and whites is followed by statically heating the egg yolks and whites at a temperature and time effective to coagulate the yolks and whites to a substantially firm texture followed by freezing of the coagulated yolks and whites. The frozen whites and yolks are chopped at a temperature of 20.degree.-30.degree. F. to provide a chopped egg mixture having desirable color and texture, without significant smearing of the yolks on the particles of egg white.
