Abstract: An add-on application, running on a computer, allows a user to store, in a repository, information such as (for example) document images, and to associate particular information with specified states of a host application such as the QUICKBOOKS® accounting software. When the add-on application determines, for example, that a bill is being displayed (or is about to be displayed) on the screen by the host application, the add-on application automatically obtains, and displays on the screen, information associated with the bill, such as a list or count of one or more electronic documents that are associated with the bill. In our particular embodiment, the auxiliary window is a toolbar or sidebar window located within the host application window itself. The foregoing is achieved utilizing standard host-application SDK and operating-platform API functionality, thus reducing the risk of degrading the host application's performance.

Abstract: Apparatus for routering a surface comprises a pair of independently driven drive wheels and a balance wheel which is freely pivotal to follow a path steered by the drive wheels. A cutting head is pivotally mounted between the drive wheels and its height relative to the surface may be adjusted to alter the depth of the router action. An operator's seat is located such that the operator has a relatively unobstucted view of the surface to be routed and the cutting head. A control for adjusting the height of the cutting head is provided adjacent the operator's seat, as are controls for the drive wheels. An improved cutting head assembly and cutting tool place are also disclosed, the cutting head assembly including a rotating shaft with a cutting head at one end, the shaft being orientated perpendicularly to the surface to be routered. The cutting head retains a diamond tipped cutting tool piece which rotates with the shaft to router the surface.
