  • Patent number: 8412777
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for servers processing input data regardless of whether the input data is located in an attachment to a message from a client. The server receives a message from the client instructing the server to process data. Then, the server determines whether the data is located in an attachment to the message, and if the data is located in the attachment, moves the data to another location other than in the attachment.

  • Patent number: 7610564
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that displays and facilitates browsing through a sparse view of content items in a hierarchy. First, the system receives a request to display a set of content items with a common parent in a hierarchy. If the display area has insufficient space to display some of the items, the system logically splits the content items into a first subset of content items and a distinct second subset of content items. The system then displays the first subset, and displays a search element that represents the second subset. When the system detects the selection of the search element by a user, the system initiates a search operation that allows the user to determine and select a desired item from the second subset.

  • Patent number: 5471874
    Abstract: A method of correcting unbalance on a motor vehicle wheel by means of at least one balancing weight which can be fixed to the wheel at appropriate positions ascertained by an electronic measuring apparatus during an unbalance measuring procedure involves the use of a sensing device which is coupled to the electronic measuring apparatus and which senses relevant dimensions of the wheel for storage thereof in the electronic measurement apparatus, for evaluation of the measurement values obtained in the unbalance measuring procedure.
