  • Publication number: 20070021200
    Abstract: A variety of methods and systems are disclosed that facilitate character creation. One embodiment of the present invention teaches receiving a first virtual character set and operating a logical algorithm on the first virtual character set to generate a second virtual character set. Another embodiment teaches a method for playing an interactive game by generating actions, behaviors and/or decisions for a virtual character. Additional embodiments teach a system for character creation.

  • Patent number: 6594150
    Abstract: A computer system comprising a chassis and housing removable servers supported in subchassis, each chassis having optional front or read cable access. Power and signal connectivity to the servers may be made from the front or rear of the system. The subchassis may be half the width of the chassis or a quarter of a width of the chassis. The subchassis further include an upper bay and a lower bay as well as a plurality of field replaceable units, which all may be access through the front of the chassis. One or more of the field replaceable units connect to the system through a midplane, located within the subchassis.

  • Publication number: 20020099873
    Abstract: A computer system and method of performing service thereto includes a centralized system status panel to identify and display the status of all field replaceable units (FRUs) within the computer system. The system uses electronic signaling such as LEDs on the system status panel to identify the presence and state of the FRUs within the system. The system further may use color differentiation to identify specific FRUs within the system. The system status panel may also include spatial locators to determine the location of the field replaceable units. Acronyms or symbols for the FRUs may further be included on the system status panel. Additionally, the computer system uses color differentiation on user accessible components and their interface features. Color differentiation on the user interface areas may allow a service technician to quickly identify where on the enclosures or individual component handling is possible or desirable. In addition, the computer system may use captive fasteners for the FRUs.

  • Patent number: 5638832
    Abstract: A subcutaneous implant for displaying various re-programmable information or decorative patterns beneath the surface of the skin of a person or an animal. A biologically inert subcutaneous implant is constructed of a flexible material so as to conform to the skin's surface. The subcutaneous implant includes a battery for providing power to the implant. The subcutaneous implant also includes a receiver for receiving programming information from a user, and a display for displaying the programming information through the skin.
