20090106685Method and Apparatus for Displaying Status of Hierarchical Operations - A method, apparatus, and computer instructions are disclosed for displaying the true status of hierarchical operations being performed in a data processing system. For example, a Z-order layering technique can be used to display simultaneously on a screen the status of a plurality of operations being performed on elements of a hierarchical structure, such as, for example, on an inverted tree directory and a plurality of its sub-trees. Advantageously, the display can be scaled to include operations being performed for many nested levels of the hierarchical structure, without having to increase the overall footprint of the display. Also, an application for copying a directory has to traverse the directory's structure only one time (e.g., during the copying operation), because the application does not need to know in advance the total number of files that have to be copied.04-23-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110302721TUNABLE SPRING MATTRESS AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A mattress includes a spring extending between first and second points to provide a first spring rate in a first direction. A polymer fiber structure is provided between the first and second points and adjoins the spring. The polymer fiber structure includes fibers interlinked with one another to provide the second spring rate in the first direction. An example method of manufacturing a mattress is provided that includes arranging springs to provide a mattress innerspring. A polymer fiber structure is introduced in a first state to the innerspring to provide an assembly. The assembly is further processed and the polymer fiber structure is simultaneously altered from the first state to a second state.12-15-2011
