Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a user interface through which a user may generate a conditional expression are provided. The user interface provides guidance to a user as to the proper parts of the conditional expression to include in the conditional expression as the user constructs the conditional expression. Thus, as the user completes parts of the conditional expression, the guidance that is offered is updated based on the current context of the conditional expression. This guidance may include listings of variables, attributes and/or functions that are most appropriate to be entered next in the conditional expression, help text, and the like.

Abstract: In certain aspects, the invention is directed to a method for visual programming in an environment having a set of user-invocable function representations, a data processing system for implementing the method and a computer program product with computer-usable program code for implementing the method. The method includes: maintaining a user interface from which a user may access any function representation in the set of user-invocable function representations; receiving a new function representation that is omitted from the set of user-invocable function representations; and storing the new function representation in the set of user-invocable function representations so that the new function representation may be accessed from the user interface.

Abstract: A binding line including at least first and second binding line sections. The first binding line section is adapted to transport books therealong to a book exit station and the second binding line section is adapted to transport books therealong from a book entry station. The binding line includes a book transferring mechanism or subsystem for moving books from the book exit station of the first binding line section to the book entry station of the second binding line section as well as devices associated with book leaving the book exit station and books entering the book entry station for tracking books during transfer from the first binding line section to the second binding line section. The first binding line section can run at the same or a different speed than the second binding line section. In addition, the binding line can include asynchronous or synchronous multiple first and/or second binding line sections.
