Abstract: A method of accessing an electronic page on a computer system, by ascertaining that the electronic page is adapted to be displayed as a single window containing a plurality of frames (having fixed attributes), but then displaying separate windows for respective frames, and enabling one or more window operations for each of the windows, such as resizing, minimizing, maximizing, and closing each of the windows. The windowed frames can be displayed as child windows within a parent window on the display device, or in separate parent windows. The frame windowing mode can be toggled between active and inactive states. Initial attributes of the windows can be based on the frame attributes of the respective frames. These attributes can be ascertained by interpreting tags in a main computer file associated with the electronic page, e.g., an HTML file which is downloaded over the World Wide Web.

Abstract: An improved method and system for selecting, retrieving and managing access to computer network locations. The method improves access to frequently utilized network locations by providing a recirculating list of network addresses selectable by a single user input. A user interface to the computer network can be accomplished utilizing a network browser in cooperation with a personal computer. The recirculating list of frequently utilized network locations is entered by the user into the system. The recirculating list has a selectable network location which is displayed to the user. The selectable network location can be requested and retrieved by a single user input such as selecting an icon which resides on a toolbar. The information or data associated with the selectable network location is automatically displayed in response to the user selecting the active URL of the recirculating list. The selectable network address can be accessed by a user in response to a single user input.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed in a network navigator for rapidly returning to a search engine network page while searching through a hierarchy of networked pages displayed within a computer system interface. Initially, a list of commonly utilized search engine network addresses is compiled. Next, a hierarchy of network addresses accessed by the network navigator during a network navigating session is compiled. Thereafter, the hierarchy of network addresses is scanned until a network address among the hierarchy of network addresses is identified that corresponds to a search engine network address listed in the list of commonly utilized search engine network addresses. Finally, the network navigator jumps to the network address corresponding to the search engine network address.

Abstract: A surgical procedure done under general anesthesia in which a patient is first operated on in an operating room and thereafter moved from the operating room to a recovery room is disclosed herein. During general anesthesia the patient is administered oxygen from a first oxygen source through a cooperating tube disengagably connected at a first end to the source and at a second opposite end to a mask or endotracheal tube attached to the patient in a way that allows the patient to receive oxygen from the source. After surgery, while being moved from the operating room to a recovery room, the patient is administered oxygen from a second, portable source using the very same cooperating tube. Specifically, after the patient has begun spontaneous ventilation, the first end of the cooperating tube is disconnected from the original oxygen source and reconnected to the portable source.

Abstract: A reusable script execution scheduling part for compound documents in a document-centric processing environment. Document-centric computing environments having architectures similar to OpenDoc.TM. include a technique for executing scripts to interact with the compound document content. The CHRON part of this invention includes embedded objects for defining scheduled execution times for one or more scripts that may be opened within the compound document to provide a view of its contents. Either the ScheduleTime element or the ScriptEvent element of the CHRON part may be opened and edited in place. The reusable CHRON part sets up event scheduling with the operating system so that specified scripts are run according to specified ScheduleTimes.

Abstract: A blood-repellent neck protector for hospital, surgical, and emergency room personnel is featured. The protector is shaped like a narrow-banded, circular collar having an extended bib. The collar has a blood-shielding, light-weight, multi-layered cloth. The outer layer of the multi-layered cloth is a soft, blood-repellent material. The innermost layer of material wicks moisture away from the wearer's neck. A spongy layer in the center of the collar provides softness and comfort to the wearer. This spongy layer also assists in maintaining the shape of the collar. The collar is adjustable to many different neck sizes from between 13 and 19 inches, approximately.
