| 20100251184 | APPROACH FOR ADVANCED USER NAVIGATION - A system for hierarchical navigation of menus on a screen and particularly from one menu to another menu at the same level of a menu hierarchy. The system may provide side-to-side movement between menu elements to more easily navigate the menu pyramid. It may facilitate access to the details of a list of devices by selecting next and previous devices in the list, without navigating back to the list. The system may provide an operator or user with a simple, convenient method of browsing the details of devices in a list without the need to move back and forth throughout the list. The display may automatically adapt to the disparate properties of each type of device in the list. Also, the displayed details may be unique for a characterization of each device but be rendered in a common format. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100251266 | MECHANISM FOR INTERFACING A DISPLAY SCREEN OF ANOTHER TECHNOLOGY WITH A COMPUTING PLATFORM - A system for constructing embedded display content and navigation where a computing platform is based on one technology and the embedded display content is based on another technology. For instance, the one technology may be NiagaraAX and the other technology may be non-Niagara. The system may, for instance, leverage NiagaraAX Workbench tooling to generate displays rendered in heterogeneous technologies, i.e., non-Niagara, to extend the range and application of user interfaces for Niagara-based technologies. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20090044621 | Accelerometer and Rate Sensor Package for Gravity Gradiometer Instruments - An accelerometer and rate sensor package to aid gravity gradiometers is provided. The accelerometer and rate sensor package is mounted directly on or within a gravity gradiometer instrument (GGI). Outputs from the sensors can be used to reduce unwanted noise due to angular rotational rates, angular accelerations and linear accelerations that may be coupled to the GGI. Since the sensor assembly is directly mounted on or within the GGI, the sensor assembly is coupled to the GGI and senses the acceleration and angular rates as seen by the GGI. Thus, outputs from the GGI can be corrected more effectively using the sensor assembly's outputs. | 02-19-2009 |

Each of the plurality of elongated members represent an associated numerical value. At least some of the plurality of elongated members are of different lengths, wherein the length of each of the plurality of elongated members is proportional to the numerical value represented by the elongated member. A plurality of retention members configured to receive the elongated members. Each of the plurality of retention members is configured to receive at least two of the plurality of elongated members. The device also comprises a numberline associated with the plurality of retention members. When the elongated members are placed on the retention member, various mathematical concepts may be shown. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20100217629 | COMPUTER-BASED RIGHT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - An automated ticket auctioning system receives and evaluates bid information records received from a plurality of remote terminals. Each bid information record corresponds to at least one bid for one or more desired seats at a venue. Each bid information record may also include a plurality of additional bids identified for different seats in the venue. The separate bids in each bid information record are prioritized. The automated ticket auctioning system includes a central controlling computer operable to receive the bid information records and determine, in order of priority, whether any of the bids in a bid information record is accepted. If one bid in a bid information record is accepted, all lower priority bids in that bid information record are dismissed. | 08-26-2010 |
