  • Publication number: 20080032863
    Abstract: A climbing wall system comprising a climbing wall (1) provided with several holds (6, 7, 8, 9), each connected to a respective sensor which is arranged to detect the presence of a foot or a hand on the hold (6, 7, 8, 9), where said system comprises a sound system (15) arranged to play music, and a control device (16) arranged to receive signals of the sensors and control the sound system (15) to play a certain musical fragment when a certain hold (6, 7, 8, 9) is touched.

  • Publication number: 20070234278
    Abstract: A model-based application development system includes a model element. Also included is source code that corresponds to the model element. One or more computer-implemented system management components are then collectively configured to modify the source code to reflect a developer-initiated manipulation of the model element.

  • Publication number: 20070220481
    Abstract: A model corresponds to a collection of source code files. A determination is made that a change has occurred to the model. A sub-set of the collection of source code files is updated or regenerated to reflect the change to the model.

  • Publication number: 20070192694
    Abstract: A computer-implemented user interface includes at least two hierarchically related element nodes. One node is a parent element node that is associated with a first set of property value components. Another node is a child element node that is associated with a second set of property value components. The first set of property value components is different than the second set. A property value component contained in at least one of the first and second sets is directly identified with a property identifier.

  • Patent number: 7096454
    Abstract: A computer program based method is described for creating models using gestures. On an input device, such as an electronic whiteboard, a user draws a gesture which is recognized by a computer program and interpreted relative to a predetermined meta-model. Based on the interpretation, an algorithm is assigned to the gesture drawn by the user. The executed algorithm may, for example, consist in creating a new model element, modifying an existing model element, or deleting an existing model element.

  • Publication number: 20060071061
    Abstract: The present invention provides a discrete package for absorbent personal care articles. Provided by the present invention is a personal care product having a container component and an absorbent personal care product component. The container component has a top panel, a bottom panel, at least one side. Generally there are four side walls, a front side wall, a back side wall, a first side wall and a second side wall. These walls are connected in a manner such that the top panel is connected to the bottom panel by the front side wall, the back side wall, the first side wall and the second side wall; and the front side wall is connected to the back side wall by the first side wall and the second side wall. Each wall of the container has an inside surface and an exterior surface. The inside surface of each of the bottom panel, the front side wall, the back side wall, the first side wall and the second side wall define a chamber for holding at least one absorbent personal care article.

  • Publication number: 20040013483
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and a device for installing at least one flexible, elongated member through a partition element, said device comprising an elongated tool element with means for penetration at a first end of said tool element and a shaft portion at the second end of said tool element, and means for receiving the end portion of one or more elongated members, wherein the receiving means includes a hollow section extending at least through the shaft portion of the elongated tool element defining a tubular shaft portion open at the shaft end. By the present invention, a hitherto unknown device and method are provided for installing elongated members, such as a cable or a bunch of cables, wires or the like through a hole in a quick, easy, and careful manner.

  • Patent number: 6389375
    Abstract: A model of a geometrical object comprising: bits in a first data structure encoded to identify a first set of elements from a collection of representations of geometrical shapes for a collection of elements and to represent positions of the elements by means of integer co-ordinates in a first system of co-ordinates; bits in a second data structure encoded to identify a second set of elements from said collection and to represent positions of the elements by means of integer co-ordinates in a second system of co-ordinates; bits in a third data structure encoded to represent a spatial transformation of the second system of co-ordinates relatively to the first system of co-ordinates. Thereby it is possible to create a very compact representation of a model of a geometrical object. The model—prima facia—seems to be constrained very hard, but is in fact a very flexible and easy to access model.
