Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for correctly positioning the text of a hypertext markup language (html) file on a display screen linked to a computer such that there are no partial lines of text displayed and without the re-display of text that was displayed on a previous screen. By correctly positioning the text on the display screen, even when the user scrolls the text backwards and forwards, only entire lines of text are displayed which makes reading the text on the screen much more user friendly. By locating the html tags within the html source file, the number of lines of text in the file are determined and subsequently assigned to a screen row within the display screen such that only entire lines of text are displayable.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for a user, either an originator or a receiver of an e-mail message, to erase the e-mail message from all servers which routed the message when the e-mail message is erased from the user's client computer storage. By creating originator, server, and receiver delete tables, a pathway for a delete transaction containing the addresses of servers which routed the e-mail message enables the user, either an originator or receiver of the e-mail message, to sequentially delete the message along the pathway upon deletion from the client computer. Additionally, by inserting a deletion date into the header of the message, the message may be deleted from the client computer and all servers upon occurrence of the deletion date.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a new structure and a method for reducing the cost of producing known good die (KGD). More particularly, the invention encompasses a structure and a method that uses a substrate having solder wettable pads, a chip with attached solder balls, and a thin non-conductive interposer that is assembled between the chip and the substrate. The interposer reduces the cross section of the solder connections from the chip to the substrate where the solder passes through (the holes in) the interposer. This reduced cross-sectional area of the solder connection creates a weak point which allows the chip to be easily sheared off of the substrate after a burn-in and test process. The preferred chips for this invention are flip chips.

Abstract: A process and system for entering and retrieving previously stored data at a client computer in an HTML form accessed from an intra- or internet source. A set of data in a form file is provided in a program storage device accessible by the client computer. The form file further contains information concerning time of creation of the data and a unique identification which distinguishes the form file from other forms. A blank form is then accessed from an intra- or internet source and viewed on the client computer. The form file is then accessed from the program storage device and data from the form file is utilized to complete the blank form and the completed form is transmitted to the intra- or internet source. Each form file may be stored as an HTML source file combined with a set of data for the source file, and the program storage device includes a combined form table containing a list of the form files.

Abstract: Web browser interaction with HTML files is modified to allow for columns of row headings to be defined as non-scrollable so that the headings will always be visible as the data rows are scrolled to the left or to the right. Multiple non-scrollable row headings may be in an adjacent position and certain row headings are allowed to displace other columns of row headings when they are in an adjacent position. A new HTML tag, referred to as the column scroll tag, identifies a column of row headings in a file as non-scrollable depending on the screen position of the column. When there is a column of headings that reach the left-most position of the screen, the columns become locked and remain on the screen. A column scroll tag also has the property of displacement or no displacement. Displacement means that once two non-scrollable columns are adjacent, the right-most non-scrollable column would immediately displace the left-most column non-scrollable column, when the data is scrolled to the left on a screen.

Abstract: A process for creating a customized web page containing information from other web pages accessible by a client computer from an inter- or intra-net. First, there is provided the parameters for a search of desired information from web pages on a network. A search is initiated from a client computer and the desired information on the network is retrieved. The client computer then views the desired information retrieved from the search on the network, and at least one original web page on the network from which the desired information was retrieved in the search. The search may be optionally modified, and the above steps repeated. The customized web page is then created, for example, on a program storage device accessible by the client computer, and contains: 1) the desired information retrieved in the search and 2) other structure, not retrieved in the search, of at least one original web page.
