Abstract: The present invention defines a unique, flexible system that may be applied to the manufacture and assembly of a plurality of highly configurable and reusable virtual robotic control devices. It is specifically concerned with providing a plurality of self contained virtual control systems that comprise a moving part that is detected by an associated sensor whereby signals may be generated and transmitted to a plurality of other devices to operate a plurality of robotic microscopes directly or, when configured through a robot control program, through an intermediate computer and network. Furthermore, these virtual robotic control systems may be assembled into a number of partial or complete robotic microscopes so that the degree of realism and control over the examination of a slide may be matched more exactly to the needs and requirements of a microscopist.

Abstract: A binder including a binding mechanism having at least one ring member for securing a plurality of pages within the binder; at least one spine member pivotally connected to the binding mechanism; and at least one cover pivotally connected to the at least one spine member. A pin may be provided to secure the at least one ring member to the binding mechanism. The binder may also include a sleeve mounted on the cover for maintaining the at least one cover and the at least one spine member in a fixed position in a single plane. Where two spine members and two covers are used, the two spine members and two covers are advantageously in close parallel relation when in a fully opened position and hide the binding mechanism when fully closed.

Abstract: An indexing system and linking method for an assembly of electronic-based information stored in and ordered by a plurality of records uniquely identified over relational data tables making up a data set wherein each table is assigned a unique domain of unique alphanumeric indicia for assignment and storage in the records. The records are ordered by the alphanumeric indicia whereby each data table acts as its own primary key. The records are bi-directionally linked to each other via separate, central linking table indexes wherein each index record is structured with linking fields for storing sets of alphanumeric indicia belonging to records in the data set.

Abstract: An indexing system and linking method for an assembly of electronic-based informational items stored in and ordered by a plurality of records uniquely identified over a plurality of relational data tables making up a data set wherein each table is assigned a unique domain of unique alphanumeric indicia for assignment and storage in the records. The records are ordered by the alphanumeric indicia whereby each data table acts as its own primary key. The records are bi-directionally linked to each other via a plurality of separate, central linking table indexes wherein each index record is structured with a plurality of linking fields defined to store sets of two or more alphanumeric indicia belonging to a plurality of records in the data set.

Abstract: An indexing system and linking method for an assembly of paper-based informational items ordered by an hierarchy of informational divisions represented by a plurality of tabbed section dividers (601) and tabbed file folders (901) with pre-assigned section indicia printed on their markable surfaces. Said sections contain a plurality of form pages (701), and document pages (1001) with pre-assigned section and page indicia printed on their markable surfaces. Said pages contain a plurality of tabular design objects (201, 301, and 401) printed on their markable surfaces . Said tabular objects contain a plurality of records that contain a plurality of data fields for entering informational items on said markable surface. Each said record is pre-assigned a indicum printed in another entry field. The concatenation of each record indicum with the section and page indicia printed on the same markable surface creates a unique identifier and locator for every informational record in the assembly of informational items.
