  • Publication number: 20090289927
    Abstract: A digital palette and a digital pen device are used to create or manipulate a digital document to provide complex information using features, such as graphical features selected from stencils, shapes, and connectors and possibly to apply one or more attributes to the digital document. The digital palette may have a custom layout. The features on the digital palette may be selected from a variety of sources, such as digital stencil libraries. The digital palette and digital document may be arranged on the same or different sheets of digital paper overlying one or more digital patterns. Information communicated from the digital palette to the digital document may be uploaded, processed, reviewed, changed and stored in a computer. Lastly, the digital document may be finalized and printed to incorporate all changes previously made using the digital palette, the digital pen device and the computer.

  • Publication number: 20080290302
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a radiation scan of a structure involve arranging a source of penetrating radiation and a radiation detector at opposed ends of a radiation path through the structure, oriented in such a way that the source emits radiation along the path through the structure and the detector is capable of detecting the radiation after it has passed through the structure and monitoring the radiation emitted from the source that is detected by the detector. At least one continuous loop of a cable is mounted on the structure between at least two fixed locations on the structure so that the cable is movable along its length relative to the structure, and the at least one of the source of penetrating radiation and the radiation detector are fixed to the cable.

  • Publication number: 20080278734
    Abstract: A digital paper-enabled product includes digital paper with a digital pattern that spatially cooperates with one or more features or boundaries printed on the pattern. More specifically, a system cooperating with the product may include spatial information systems that manage the features or boundaries and communicates with a writing instrument that was used to effect changes to the digital paper-enabled product. In one embodiment, the digital paper-enabled product may take the form of a sheet of digital paper bearing a digital pattern and where action icons (e.g. user intended actions) and/or features (e.g. such as map features) or a spatial reference frame are printed onto the digital pattern and where at least one action palette is printed onto the digital pattern, correlated therewith, and usable to effect changes to the product.

  • Publication number: 20080282138
    Abstract: Methods and systems for multimedia object association to digital paper spatial diagrams are disclosed herein. A method for multimedia object association to digital paper spatial diagrams includes the steps of (1) capturing a media object to be imported into a spatial information system; (2) linking the captured media object to a digital paper document containing a spatial diagram, using a input device configured to select a linking action area located in a first area of the digital paper document and configured to select a location for the captured multimedia data object on a second area of the digital paper document; (3) transferring the media object and the data from the input device to a spatial information system; and (4) combining the media object and the data of the input device to create an updated digital paper document containing the media object.

  • Patent number: 7349406
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for performing a virtual network connection merge. In one example, the method assembles at least one data unit from data traffic of at least one network connection. A credit is calculated for each network connection. A chosen data unit to be transmitted to an output channel is determined based on the credits of the network connections. The chosen data unit is then transmitted to the output channel.

  • Patent number: 6822551
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the purpose of ensuring positioning between a fixed automatic fueling service terminal and a vehicle, such that the vehicle is identified within a close range and authorized to dock at an identified service terminal to exchange services. This is accomplished by wirelessly determining the proximity of a couplable vehicle, with respect to a docking location at the service terminal. When a vehicle is within a specified distance of an automatic fueling service terminal, known as the zone of proximity detection, the vehicle identification code and service terminal identification code are both continuously determined and passed to a multi-port station controller, for authentication of service transactions and secure service processes, including automatically fueling the vehicle.
