  • Publication number: 20150113463
    Abstract: A medical examination system causes a display unit to display an object for shifting to examination processing together with patient information corresponding to identification information of a patient received by a receiving unit if the patient information of the patient is input via an operation unit when the receiving unit receives the identification information of the patient from an external device. The medical examination system shifts to the examination processing without causing the display unit to display the object if the patient information is not input via the operation unit when the receiving unit receives the patient information.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for causing, at least in part, a presentation of a first representation of one or more segments of routing information in at least one first user interface element of a user interface. Then, the navigation platform causes, at least in part, a presentation of a second representation of the one or more segments of routing information in at least one second user interface element of the user interface. Subsequently, the navigation platform determines one or more interactions with the at least one first user interface element to cause, at least in part, a presentation of one or more other segments of the routing information. Ultimately, the navigation platform causes, at least in part, an updating of the at least one second user interface element based, at least in part, on the presentation of the one or more other segments of the routing information.

    Abstract: A machine vision system program editing environment including synchronized selection and/or identification of related features in a plurality of different user interface windows is provided. In particular, one of the windows is an editing window where a part program representation is displayed for editing by a user. In one embodiment, a user may select data or another feature of interest in a window that is not the editing window (e.g., a results window, or graphical workpiece inspection feature display window) and the associated part program instruction representation is automatically highlighted and/or selected in the editing window. Conversely, a part program instruction representation may be selected by a user in the editing window and the associated results or feature in another window is automatically highlighted and/or selected. User interface navigation, rapid program quality assessment, and overall part program creation and editing efficiency are significantly enhanced in such an editing environment.

    Abstract: A process for initiating maritime radio communication, directed toward the recipient vessel's location, and exclusive of all other vessels outside the geographically-defined box. An airborne electro-optical or infrared sensor detects the presence of vessels in the maritime domain. Established geolocation techniques are employed to determine the approximate geographical location (latitude and longitude) of the target vessel. The derived geographical location of the target vessel is used to encode a Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Geographical Area Call, in the Very High Frequency (VHF) band, for the purpose of establishing radio communications. The process allows for geographically selective communications without previous knowledge of the target vessel's Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) and without the target vessel's assistance in determining its geographical location.

An application program displays a graphical user interface (GUI) and dynamically updates a chart of real-time event data. The chart includes an event threshold bar displayed concurrently with the real-time event data. If the real-time event data has exceeded an event threshold value that corresponds to a position of the event threshold bar, the application program executes a pre-defined response function. If a click and drag input is received while a cursor is located over a graphically-textured handle located on an end of the event threshold bar, the application program moves the event threshold bar to a new location and updates a numerical threshold value that corresponds to the position of the event threshold bar. The numerical threshold value and a unique identification symbol are displayed in close proximity to the graphically-textured handle.

  • Publication number: 20150082221
    Abstract: A visualization can include a set of swim lanes, each swim lane representing information about an event type. An event type can be specified, e.g., as those events having certain keywords and/or having specified value(s) for specified field(s). The swim lane can plot when (within a time range) events of the associated event type occurred. Specifically, each such event can be assigned to a bucket having a bucket time matching the event time. A swim lane can extend along a timeline axis in the visualization, and the buckets can be positioned at a point along the axis that represents the bucket time. Thus, the visualization may indicate whether events were clustered at a point in time. Because the visualization can include a plurality of swim lanes, the visualization can further indicate how timing of events of a first type compare to timing of events of a second type.

  • Publication number: 20150082228
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for direct manipulation of a triangular distribution of information. The system includes a graphical user interface for receiving user inputted values. The system further includes a data calculator for generating estimates based on the user inputted values, and for generating curves for display on a grid based on at least one of, the user inputted values and the estimates. The graphical user interface respectively receives the user inputted values based at least on a current position of a pointer on the grid. The graphical user interface is capable of applying a direct manipulation to at least one of the user inputted values and the estimates, such that a result of the direct manipulation is displayed on the grid and enters triplets corresponding to an expected value, an upper bound for the expected value, and a lower bound for the expected value.
