Abstract: A method and system for allocating at least one resource among a plurality of processes. The method includes the computer-implemented steps of displaying a representation of a proportion of the resource that is allocated to a first process on a display and, in response to manipulating the representation, dynamically changing the proportion of the resource that is allocated to the first process.

Abstract: A method, system, and memory for reshaping a window are provided. The method includes the step of reshaping the frame of a window around information displayed in the window in accordance with a preference setting and in response to a command from user controls. The system includes a display for displaying information stored in a window, user controls, and a processor for reshaping the frame of the window around the information in response to a command from the user controls. The memory includes computer readable program code that is stored in the memory. The program code directs a computer system to reshape the frame of a window around information that is displayed within the window.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a uniquely programmed computer system, and a memory embodying detailed logic for directing a computer system to independently rotate a polyhedron display container about several axis. The computer-implemented method includes the steps of displaying a panel container on a display and, in response to a first command from user controls to select a first front panel in the panel container, horizontally rotating the first front panel to a central column if the first front panel is not in the central column. The method also includes the step of in response to the first command to select a second front panel, vertically rotating the second front panel to the central row if the second front panel is not in the central row.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for transmitting objects of varying types from one processing unit to another using a transporter. The present invention enables the user to create and iconically display each transporter and object icon on a display. At object type definition, the user enters the characteristics of each object type once into a database. Furthermore, at transporter creation, the user enters the transmission command and destination address for each transporter once into a database. As such, the transporter is capable of transmitting numerous objects to a predefined processing unit without continuously prompting the user for object characteristics, mailing protocols, or destination addresses.
