  • Patent number: 9466138
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating adjusting a displayed representation of a visualization. An example method includes displaying a first visualization that includes plural nodes; providing a first user option to specify a first node attribute; and stacking nodes of the first visualization based on the first node attribute, resulting in display of one or more stacks of nodes. In a more specific embodiment, one or more links connect one or more of the plural nodes to one or more other nodes of the plural nodes. The method further includes adjusting the first visualization to illustrate the one or more stacks of nodes, while preserving any links, resulting in display of a second visualization in response thereto. The step of adjusting further includes animating a transition between display of the first visualization and display of the second visualization.

  • Publication number: 20160009954
    Abstract: A soft tacky composition comprising a polymer, in particular a silicone gel, is provided for use as a pottant (105) within a power converter (100), in particular a micro-inverter. The composition when cured, has a hardness measured by Shore A scale less than 30, thermal conductivity of no less than 0.2 W/m·K, and has a tacky surface. A power converter filled with the soft tacky gel and the process of manufacturing the power converter are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9105118
    Abstract: A system and method for illustrating data. An example method includes organizing the data into objects; assigning a transparency value to each object; and graphically depicting the data by distributing nodes representing the objects in a region of a visualization in accordance with a distribution method or function. Each node is displayed as partially transparent in accordance with the transparency value. In a more specific embodiment, the visualization includes a galaxy visualization with nodes that are randomly or pseudo randomly distributed about a center point or region of the visualization.

  • Patent number: 8949742
    Abstract: A system and method for adjusting a displayed visualization, such as a tree diagram. An example method includes providing a first mechanism for facilitating adjusting spacing between plural leaf nodes of a visualization by a first factor and providing a signal indicative of the first factor in response thereto; and employing a second mechanism to display an updated visualization in response to the signal, wherein spacing between leaf nodes of the updated visualization is adjusted relative to the initial visualization based on the signal, such that a region defined by a group of leaf nodes, whose spacing therebetween has been adjusted, is shrunk or enlarged based on the first factor. In an illustrative embodiment, the example method further includes adjusting the spacing between leaf nodes so that leaf nodes overlap each other.
