Abstract: A cake decoration jig for coaxially aligning cake discs and a confection such that the confection can be decorated using the cake discs and a scraper includes a base wall with a support surface, a first side wall with a first alignment surface, and a second side wall with a second alignment surface. Each of the support surface, the first alignment surface, and the second alignment surface are planar. The support surface is oriented horizontally, and each of the first alignment surface and the second alignment surface are perpendicular to the support surface and to each other. The cake decoration jig is used in a new method for coaxially aligning cake discs with a confection.

Abstract: A method of on-demand model navigation includes providing a graphical explorer layout (GEL) algorithm for user exploring within an enterprise process model including assets as nodes, relationships between assets as links between nodes, and related node information. The GEL triggers on the display device displaying an initial dashboard fixed view including ?2 of the nodes (shown nodes), a context menu and a menu for the links. Responsive to selecting a first of the shown nodes (first selected node) from the dashboard fixed view, displaying a first on-demand enterprise model graph showing the first selected node as an anchor node along with related nodes with links therebetween shown. Responsive to selecting a second of the shown nodes, a second on-demand enterprise model graph having ?two levels can be displayed with the second selected node as an anchor node along with related nodes with the links therebetween shown.

Abstract: A method of charting event occurrence counts includes processing event occurrence data recorded during operation of an industrial process to generate a chart having chart entries representing occurrence counts and chart positioning information. The chart positioning information includes an x-axis with a first time interval between x-positions and a y-axis with a second time interval between y-positions. Respective ones of the chart entries are positioned at intersections between the x-positions and y-positions by placing an element at the intersections having first feature attribute which indicates a relative magnitude of its event count. Time division count sums are computed to indicate a relative magnitude of a count sum across the x-positions and y-positions. The time division count sums are represented with a second feature attribute. The time division count sums are positioned for the x-positions adjacent to the second ending time and for the y-positions adjacent to the first ending time.

Abstract: A system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention comprises a device for facilitating video communication between a remote participant and another location. The device can comprise a screen adapted to display the remote participant, the screen having a posture adapted to be controlled by the remote participant. A camera can be mounted adjacent to the screen, and can allow the subject to view a selected conference participant or a desired location such that when the camera is trained on the selected participant or desired location a gaze of the remote participant displayed by the screen appears substantially directed at the selected participant or desired location.
