Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting common graphical user interfaces in different applications. A scripting language application has a first graphical user interface that includes a first plurality of objects that appear on a display device. An application software program has a second graphical user interface, the second graphical user interface including a second plurality of objects that appear on a display device. The second plurality of objects has an appearance that is substantially identical in appearance to the first plurality of objects. A style sheet common to both the scripting language application and the application software program controls the generation of the first and second pluralities of objects.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for affecting the properties of a material comprise vibrating the material during its formation (i.e., “surface sifting”). The method comprises the steps of providing a material formation device and applying a plurality of vibrations to the material during formation, which vibrations comprise oscillations having dissimilar, non-harmonic frequencies and at least two different directions. The apparatus comprises a plurality of vibration sources that impart vibrations to the material.
