  • Patent number: 10365796
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a graphical user interface involve, for example, one or more processors displaying on a display screen a visualization of a hub element defined in part by an arc-shaped boundary portion and defining a badge element within the visualization of the hub element. Thereafter, a radial menu element may be animated by the one or more processors for rotation to a position adjacent and extending radially from the arc-shaped boundary portion of the hub element and defined in part by an arc-shaped boundary portion of the radial menu element spaced apart from the arc-shaped boundary portion of the hub element.

  • Patent number: 9477385
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a graphical user interface involve, for example, defining, using a processor coupled to memory, a threshold distance between windows on a display screen at which a mutual attraction between the windows is activated to draw the windows together as components of a picture of windows. Also using the processor, all windows of a same functional type that are components of the picture of windows are resized simultaneously without affecting the size of windows of other functional types that are also components of the picture of windows. Likewise using the processor, all windows on the display screen are maintained in an active state regardless of a focus of a user input device.

  • Publication number: 20030157838
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device for interconnecting a series of computer network cables to a computer network analyzer. The device comprises an upper chassis and a lower chassis that are interconnected to one another in part via a pair of corresponding tracks and channels, and in part via mating interconnect members. The upper chassis includes a printed circuit board attached to its plate that contains a plurality of passive circuit components, including passive network cable connectors and other passive components, and incorporates standard network cable connectors into its rear panel. The lower chassis contains a printed circuit board with active switch and testing/analyzing components disposed thereon.
