Abstract: A case is provided for storing and displaying articles. The case includes a substantially planar base and a substantially planar cover having a similar shape to that of the base and adapted for connection to the base to form an assembly. A peripheral connector is provided for connecting the cover to the base about the respective peripheries thereof, and a central connector is provided for connecting the cover to the base about the respective centers thereof. In a particular embodiment, the peripheral connector and the central connector define an annulus there between when the cover is connected to the base for storing and displaying articles. The case may be adapted for use in a compact disc jewel box having a square base and a square cover hinged to the base.

Abstract: A system and method for visualizing information on a computer system by generating and displaying a number of axes on a computer monitor, selecting points along respective axes which correspond to an information entry using a mouse or any other spatially-based input device, and forming a polygonal shape therefrom, the vertices of the polygon being the respective selected points. Multiple such polygons may be serially displayed or overlaid to facilitate visualization and interpretation of the information. The system and method of the present invention are further directed to facilitating the entry, modification and storage of a record in a computer system by displaying it on a polar chart, selecting a point on the polar chart with a mouse or any other spatially-based input device, and respectively entering, modifying and storing the record.
