Abstract: A reinforced die for use in a throwing game and method of manufacture of same are provided. Having corners reinforced with multiple rows of machine stitched threads, multiple layers of inner lining padding the corners, and filler material within the inner lining layers helps the die maintain distinct sides and resist deformation even after being thrown extensively against a hard surface. The use of machine stitching to reinforce the die allows to impart uniform strength to all sides of the die, further increasing resistance to deformation. The material of the housing, such as duck cloth, is weather resistant, durable, and has a friction coefficient that is high enough to prevent excessive sliding of the die from a board upon which the die is thrown, but low enough to prevent damage to the board.

Abstract: A software system and method that allows web site operators to adapt web pages for posting of public and private user comments. An administrator accesses a web site to enter data for creating reader comment areas. HTML code for the reader comment areas is generated for insertion into web pages. When the web page containing the code is posted to a web site, the code results in a reader comment display page where web site visitors can comment on the content of the particular web page where the reader comment area appears. Comments are saved at a remote web site accessible to the administrator. The administrator may review and manage the reader comments. A reader who makes a comment on a web page has the option of creating a personal journal comprising all comments entered by the reader at any web page enabled according to the invention.

Abstract: An electronic computing device with a touchscreen, and its method of use, to facilitate a user viewing text on the touchscreen. A user is able to designate a distance and relative direction (left, right, above, below) that a user's pointer must contact the selected text. By contacting at the distance and direction, the device displays a bounding box and/or highlights the user selected text without impeding its visibility. If the selected text is within an editable document, then a cursor is automatically displayed and enables a user to edit it (cut, paste, add, delete, etc.). The device also displays a temporary margin for a user's pointer to fit within when it detects that the selected text lies along the border of the touchscreen (left, right, top, or bottom). The bounding box, highlights, and/or margins disappear once the user's pointer ceases to contact the selected text.
