  • Patent number: 9824204
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically signing a user on to an integration application when a user signs on to another application and signing a user off when the user signs off of the other application. The integration application automatically non-programmatically collects data from a mapped location of a mapped source reference of the other application. The collected data includes a user identifier value. The integration continuously monitors the collected user identifier value for a difference in the collected user identifier value. If the collected user identifier value is recognized by the integration application, the user is signed into the integration application using the collected user identifier value, and if a difference in the collected user identifier value is detected, the user is signed off of the integration application.

  • Publication number: 20170097931
    Abstract: Methods and systems for retrieving information from an unrelated application that includes receiving automatically, non-programmatically collected application data from a mapped location of a mapped source reference of the unrelated application; querying a computer-readable storage medium collected application data without user intervention; retrieving identifying data associated with documents stored in the computer-readable storage medium based upon the query; monitoring the collected application data from the mapped location for a change in the collected application data; and upon detecting the change, re-querying the computer-readable storage medium using the changed collected application data and retrieving identifying data associated with the documents based upon the re-query.

  • Patent number: 9081632
    Abstract: Methods and systems for collaborating when one or more other users view or access the same, similar, or otherwise data. The collaboration method includes automatically non-programmatically collecting application data from a first mapped location of a mapped source reference of an application used by a first user and automatically non-programmatically collecting application data from a second mapped location of a mapped source reference of an application used by a second user. The integration application determines whether the collected application data from the first mapped location matches the collected application data from the second mapped location, and if the first collected application data matches the second collected application data, that integration application automatically notifies at least one of the first user and second user. The match determination may occur when the users are simultaneously accessing the data or at different times.

  • Publication number: 20120102397
    Abstract: Integration applications and methods non-programmatically collect application data from a mapped source reference of an application. The integration application retrieves at least one of a document and a list of documents associated with the first collected application data for display on a user interface and monitors the collected application data from the mapped location for a difference with a subsequently collected application data. Upon detecting a difference, the integration application removes at least one of a document and the list of documents from the user interface. The integration application may automatically notify a user of the difference using a visual indicator or an audio signal. The integration application may modify the appearance of at least one of a document and the list of documents on a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20070009155
    Abstract: A process for intelligent importation of information from a foreign application user interface includes extraction of raster data from a pre-designated region of a screen displayed in the foreign application, segmentation of the raster data into prospective sets of character raster data; application of the character raster data and a feature data set and a vector data set derived from the character raster data as inputs to respective raster, feature, and vector artificial neural networks to generate candidate characters; using a voting process to identify a character represented by the character raster data from the candidate characters; assembly of the remaining characters as recognized by the neural networks into a key; and association of the key with an external data file which may be stored and thereafter retrieved in association with the screen displayed in the foreign application.

  • Patent number: 4238074
    Abstract: A wheeled cart having an L-shaped frame, carrys a pressurized water operated proportioning apparatus, including an inlet fitting, a check valve, a pressure regulator and a jet pump, connected together in series, and mounted to extend across the cart generally at the juncture of the horizontal and vertical portions of the cart frame. A liquid chemical storage tank is mounted onto the horizontal portion and a hose reel, having a built-in swivel-coupling type inlet for the hose, is journaled for rotation onto the vertical portion. The inlet of the swivel coupling, the storage tank outlet and the jet pump are located on the same side of the cart. A liquid chemical is aspirated from the storage tank through filters and a metering apparatus by the jet pump, is admixed into the pressurized water, and the mixture is pumped into a spray hose that, when not in use, is wound onto the hose reel.

  • Patent number: 4133138
    Abstract: A base supports a chamber having an upper portion that defines an air exit aperture, a middle portion that has a plurality of air entry apertures and a closed, lower portion that forms a soap solution reservoir. An apertured, bubble forming ring is mounted within the chamber for rotation about a horizontal axis and has its lower portion extending into the soap solution reservoir. An air impeller is mounted within the bubble forming ring for rotation about a vertical axis. When the toy is actuated, the apertured bubble forming ring carries films of soap solution from the reservoir into the upward air current emitted by the air impeller to form a multitude of upwardly projected bubbles.
