  • Patent number: 9479393
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a variety of systems and methods that may be utilized to facilitate the configuration of intelligent electronic devices (IED) and other devices. In one embodiment, a configurable IED may be able to perform a plurality of features. The plurality of features may be enabled by a plurality of functional modules configured to implement the plurality of features. A feature-selecting subsystem configured to receive a first feature-selecting filter and to apply the first feature-selecting filter to selectively enable a subset of a plurality of features based on the feature-selecting filter. The subset of the plurality of features may be associated with a plurality of feature configuration settings. A feature configuration subsystem configured to receive at least one configuration filter and to set at least a subset of the plurality of feature configuration settings.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6793497
    Abstract: Three-dimensional models of molecules, including proteins, and molecular model construction kits, including an alpha helix construction kit, a beta sheet construction kit, and a nucleic acid construction kit. The three-dimensional models of molecules include one or more elongated tubular strands representing alpha carbons and the bonds between the alpha carbons. The alpha helix and beta sheet construction kits include amino acid backbone units, hydrogen bond units, and side chain units. The nucleic acid construction kits include base units, hydrogen bond units, sugar units, and phosphate units.
