Abstract: A method and system for identifying multiple questionnaire pages. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a set of coordinates from a capture device, the set of coordinates indicating shapes made on multiple pages of a questionnaire without the use of a graphical user interface, and mapping each shape to a questionnaire answer on a different page. The method enables a processor to accurately and quickly determine which answers were entered on each questionnaire page attached to the capture device, without relying on the user to do so. Exemplary applications include a field survey and inventory.

Abstract: A method of analyzing a multithreaded application for an antipattern is presented. An antipattern test is selected from a library of available antipatterns. An analysis tool is determined in response to the selected antipattern. The analysis tool is processed against the multithreaded application for the selected antipattern for purposes of detecting coding deficiencies in the multithreaded application as defined by the antipattern.

Abstract: A method for iterating through elements of a collection. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a call to iterate through a collection that includes uninstantiated elements, instantiating, after receiving the call, the uninstantiated elements to provide instantiated elements, and iterating through the instantiated elements. An exemplary implementation includes iterating through messages in a file.

Abstract: A method and system for recognizing questionnaire data based on shape. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a set of coordinates from a capture device, the set of coordinates indicating a shape made on a questionnaire without the use of a graphical user interface, and mapping the shape to a questionnaire answer. The method enables a processor to accurately and quickly determine questionnaire answers entered on a piece of paper attached to the capture device, independent of paper orientation or movement while filling out the questionnaire. Exemplary applications include a field survey and inventory.

Abstract: A multi-modal method for application swapping. An embodiment of a method includes, in response to a first key stroke, displaying a plurality of graphical icons corresponding to running applications, in response to a mouse input, selecting one of the graphical icons, and displaying the running application corresponding to the selected icon. The method enables a user to quickly and easily swap between currently running applications using a keyboard and a mouse.

Abstract: A method and system for recognizing date. An embodiment of a method for recognizing a date includes receiving a set of coordinates from a capture device, the set of coordinates indicating where on a paper form a set of marks was made without the use of a graphical user interface, and mapping the set of coordinates to a date. The method enables a processor to accurately and quickly determine date information entered on a piece of paper attached to the capture device, independent of the user who enters the date information. Exemplary applications include a field survey and inventory.

Abstract: A method and system for recognizing time. An embodiment of a method for recognizing a time includes receiving a set of coordinates from a capture device, the set of coordinates indicating where a set of marks was made on a paper form without the use of a graphical user interface, and mapping the set of coordinates to a time. The method enables a processor to accurately and quickly determine time information entered on a piece of paper attached to the capture device, independent of the user who enters the time information. Exemplary applications include a field survey and inventory.
