  • Patent number: 11003842
    Abstract: A system and methodology for use by a plurality of users, each of the users having a display apparatus and an input apparatus. An underlying common display presentation is provided to all of the users as a base image display. A plurality of the users input annotations while the users are viewing the base image display. The annotation data from the annotations is stored in an addressable area of memory associated with the respective said user, for at least two of the users. A modified display presentation is shown to at least two of the users, comprised of the base image display combined with a video display image generated responsive to at least some of the annotation data for at least two of said users.

  • Patent number: 10796282
    Abstract: The assembling of a presentation for a user by processing selected sub-component parts method using structuring inputs into a plurality of sub-component parts in an ordered-linear, wherein each of the sub-component parts contain change data. The sub-component parts are comprised of a reference that provides a link to one of: another one of the sub-component parts and a position in presentation data. The change data provides information on how to modify a part of presentation data responsive to the associated. The presentation data is assembled using the sub-component parts for a selected set of sub-component parts from the non-transitory memory responsive to said change data and the associated said reference. The presentation is viewed by a user responsive to the presentation data.

  • Patent number: 10387836
    Abstract: A computing appliances for use by a user, provide for collaboration on a common project having an associated base image display. User data representative of a respective display of annotations responsive to user input is stored. The user data is comprised of event content data for respective events that are generated in a defined order of entry relative to other of the events. Presentation assembly logic, selectively retrieves respective said event content data for said events in the selected set responsive to the mapping logic, and generates presentation data responsive to processing the event content data for said events in the selected set, in a respective defined order of entry relative to other of the events.

  • Patent number: 4428216
    Abstract: A new and useful device for producing bends in metal tubing by containing the tubing in a form and rotating the form against a fixed shoe thereby bending and swagging the tubing to the shape of the form. The form being rotated by a ratchet and pawl mechanism which translates the linear motion of levers and linkage produced by the gripping force of the hand into circular motion of the form.
