  • Patent number: 11698719
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing fixed-layout display components embedded as part of a screen display of a device. In preferred embodiments, fixed-layout components may be utilized and managed independently of the remaining programmatically generated screen display functionality. A fixed-layout component may comprise a plurality of elements and be associated with user interactivities. Each element may be related positionally, dimensionally and display sequence to an overall component and to other elements comprised such that a computed relative position, size and dimension aspect ratio of component items and the item display sequence is maintained programmatically and visually relative to each other irrespective of a screen size or orientation when the fixed-layout component is part of an overall display of a device. The fixed-layout elements may further be operable to display dynamic data which may be logically associated with data comprised within the overall fixed-layout component.

  • Patent number: 8806768
    Abstract: A marine navigation compass-protractor having a transparent base and a three-hundred sixty degree (360°) directional scale on a top surface is disclosed. The transparent base allows it to be placed on a map while still viewing map details. The center of the compass protractor has a plurality of rotating arms that numerically depict the direction and engine thrust characteristics of marine vessels jointly performing navigational tasks. Another arm provides a bearing/heading indication. The marine navigation compass-protractor enables an operator of a marine vessel better perform navigational decisions.

  • Patent number: 6523404
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a fluid level in a tank comprises a housing including a level indicator for displaying a measured fluid level in the tank. A rod extends from the housing and a float is adapted to travel along the rod. A first end of an elongated flexible member is attached to the float and an opposite end of the elongated flexible member is attached to a spool. The spool stores at least a portion of the elongated flexible member. The apparatus further includes a spring adapted to urge the spool to automatically uptake portions of the elongated flexible member as the float travels towards the housing and to allow the elongated flexible member to unwind from the spool as the float travels away from the housing.
