Abstract: A method of forming a pickleball in an additive manufacturing system includes selecting one of a polymer or liquid resin material from which the pickleball is to be additively manufactured. A computer file is provided containing computer readable instructions for the automated additive manufacturing of a computer generated model of the pickleball, the instructions including a definition of the geometric shape of the pickleball divided into a plurality of successively layered cross sectional slices. A 3D printer executes the instructions to initiate an automated additive manufacturing of a physical pickleball from the selected polymer, corresponding to the design of the computer generated model. The 3D printer creates solid cross sections of the pickleball in the selected material that are progressively and integrally bonded together and correspond to the successively layered cross sectional slices of the pickleball design, to form a complete pickleball.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (210) for indicating a classification (122, 124, 126, 128) of information displayed by the graphical user interface is disclosed. The graphical user interface comprises a border component of a window frame (820) that is configured to display a classification indicator (840). The classification indicator is configured to accept classification data associated with information (110). The information is information for presentation with the border component of a window frame (820). Methods of using the graphical user interface are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for classifying information comprises a group of at least four impact factors that includes confidentiality, legal applicability, integrity, and availability (130,140,150,160). The system also includes an impact level assigned to at least one impact factor in the group of at least four impact factors; and a classification level based upon a set of zero or more impact factors from the group of at least four impact factors. Inclusion of each impact factor in the set of zero or more impact factors is based at least in part upon a comparison of the impact level assigned to each impact factor to a predetermined impact level. Methods of using the system are also provided.
