Abstract: A method and system for identifying remote objects on a client system is provided. A client system (101) has a connection means (302) to access a component (310) on a remote system (103). The client system (101) has a graphical user interface (308) including a user interface object (306) representing the component (310) at the remote system (103). Means (304) are provided for applying a theme to the object (306) to distinguish it as representing a remote component (310). The graphical user interface (308) also includes user interface objects (307) for components local to the client system (101), and the means for applying a theme (304) applies distinguishing themes to the local objects (307) and the remote objects (306).

Abstract: An image display apparatus with a display device for displaying images and a viewing device for viewing an image in the left eye and a different image in the right eye. Two smaller images, a left image and a right image, are created from the same two-dimensional image. The left image includes, as it's left most part, the left most part of the two-dimensional image, the right image includes, as it's right most, the right most part of the image two-dimensional image, and both the left and right images include a common central part of the full image. When the left and right images are displayed such that the left eye sees one image and the right eye sees the other image, the viewer sees the two-dimensional image as a virtual image that can be wider than the viewable width of the display device. The width of the virtual image can be varied to accommodate the viewer.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for access control in a publish/subscribe system. Identification information is associated with the client's connection. A request is subsequently received from the client to publish or subscribe to a topic hosted by the system and that request has an identifier associated with it. It is then determined whether the identification information is consistent with the identifier provided with the request. Only if this is true is the request to publish or subscribe granted. In this way it is possible to determine that there is an appropriate level of trust. For example, when a user says that they are person x, the publish/subscribe system has already established that they too believe this to be true.
