  • Patent number: 9424001
    Abstract: A creation, editing, and display tool for complex diagrams may enable portions of the diagram to be updated without having to update the entire diagram. The tool may use a set of rules that define the positioning and layout of various elements and relationships between elements in the diagram. The update mechanism may enable the rules to be applied to a subset of the diagram and may not update some portions of the diagram, such as those elements outside the viewing area. In some embodiments, a background or low priority process may apply the rules to those portions not updated. The tool may be used for various diagrams, including sequence diagrams and other complex, highly restrained diagram types.

  • Patent number: 5007155
    Abstract: Shipping container latch pins are installed utilizing apparatus including o pivotally interconnected working members having opposite endportions. Motive means in the form of a bolt member are carried by one endportion of one working member and are operative to move the associated endportions of the working members away from each other, thereby moving the opposite endportions toward each other to press a pivot pin into a latch. The opposite endportions are biased away from each other by a spring, and include opposed pairs of open-ended slots for receiving the ends of the pivot pin.
