  • Patent number: 7234105
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing data used by a business application consistent with the present invention may include receiving electronic form data comprising layout data and representations of interactive elements, combining the electronic form data with customer specific data from a database to generate an intermediate form document in a data format capable of being output to a printer as a blank form without further modification, and converting the intermediate form document into a third document in a data format for display to a customer by a browser. The third document displayed to the customer looks the same as the blank form, receiving customer input data received from a customer via the third document, and associating the customer input data with the customer specific data in the business application.

  • Publication number: 20030055748
    Abstract: An interactive computer system (901/902/903) feeds (31) customer input data (Z) into a business application (202). A first computer (901) designs a visual document appearance and thereby provides layout data (X) with interactive elements in a first document. A second computer (902) processes the first document by adding (102, 12) customer specific data (Y) from the business application (202), thereby provides a second document (302), and codes the second document (302, 312) into markup language having representations for the interactive elements. A third computer (903) with a browser displays a visual representation of the second document (302, 312) to a customer as designed and prompts the customer for input data (Z) through the interactive elements. The third computer (903) forwards (33) the input data (Z) to the second computer (902) through a third document (323) and the second computer (902) relates (104) the customer input data (Z) with customer specific data (Y) in the business application (202).

  • Patent number: 6224079
    Abstract: An improved rotor system includes bearings that are carried by the frame of a bicycle. The bearings are carried by the frame so that a stem of a fork of the bicycle extends through the bearings and the fork is capable of being rotated relative to the frame about an axis that is generally coaxial with the stem. The improved rotor system further includes upper and lower transmission elements that extend around the stem and are movable along the stem. The upper transmission element is rotatable about the axis relative to the lower transmission element. The upper transmission element is connected to the first brake cable line and is operative for moving along the stem in response to actuations of the first brake cable line. The lower transmission element is mounted for moving with the upper transmission element along the stem. The lower transmission element is connected to the second brake cable line so that actuation of the first brake cable line results in actuation of the second brake cable line.
