  • Patent number: 7155493
    Abstract: A monitor analyzes and generates a profile of an Internet website data transmission. The profile indicates the relative load and/or execution times of different components of the data, including text, images, and Java code. The profile is displayed and an end-user deselects one or more of the data components which are of marginal interest but contributing to the webpage load or execution times, whereupon the altered profile is stored. During a next access of the website, the altered profile is retrieved and utilized to selectively control a more limited load and/or execution of subsequently transmitted website data by eliminating the previously de-selected data types. The load or execution times associated with pages of the website are thereby reduced. In one embodiment, the profile is pre-generated and stored with the website data and transmitted in the website data transmission for display and alteration.

  • Patent number: 6321378
    Abstract: An application development tool supports a “replicate” mode of operation which, when selected, automatically archives copies of any application source code modules being edited. Where the application source code contains multiple code segments which are symmetrical with respect to size and general content, such as a number of polygon data arrays, in which similar alterations must be implemented globally, the user may make the revision in one code segment and mark the remaining code segments in which the revisions are to be replicated. The application development tool then compares the revised and archived source code modules to identify the pattern of the revisions which were made. Upon detecting a pattern to the revisions, the application development tool automatically replicates the revisions in conformance with the identified pattern within the marked code segments.

  • Patent number: 6230121
    Abstract: A method of monitoring an individual's interactions, by recording a value of an interaction parameter of the individual (such as conversational speech) using a measurement device, storing the value of the interaction parameter with an associated geographic coordinate, and generating a report, including the value of the interaction parameter and the associated geographic coordinate. The report can further include a timeframe associated with the particular value of the interaction parameter. The global positioning system (GPS) can be used to provide the geographic data. The directional orientation (attitude) of the individual may further be measured and used to facilitate selection of one or more other subjects as recipients of the communication (i.e., when the individual is facing one or more of the subjects).

  • Patent number: 5664063
    Abstract: A method of automatically informing a calendar user of certain meeting attributes when a meeting notice is posted to a calendar program. The user posts the meeting notice on the user's calendar. The posting routine of the calendar program reads the meeting notice and compares it with the user's posting profile which contains a plurality of search predicates. A search predicate includes one or more attributes of a calendar event notice, conjunctive specifications for the attributes, and specified criteria for each of the attributes. If certain attributes of the meeting notice match any number of the search predicates of the posting profile, the user's individual computer outputs an audio message associated with each search predicate found in the notice.
