20110095124 | Parallel Conductor Spool With Multiple Independent Bays - A parallel conductor spool can support multiple independently rotating bays. The parallel conductor spool may be used to hold and pay-out materials. The parallel conductor spool can support independent rotation of the bays at differing rates to provide for paying-out conductors of varying sizes at different speeds. The parallel conductor spool may be modular and expandable to support various configurations. The parallel conductor spool may be formed of disposable or recyclable materials to reduce the cost and logistical complexity of returning the spool. The bays within the parallel conductor spool can be configured to accommodate changes in product size, type, lengths, and the number of items on, or bays within, the spool. | 04-28-2011 |

20080208867 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INVITATIONAL RECRUITMENT TO A WEB SITE - A current registered member of a web site is enabled to send a message to a person not currently a member, containing a link to a newly created membership page for that person, to which access may be confirmed by only the entry of a password, rather than a multi-step registration process, or may be extended by the use of a cookies or the mailing of repeated single-use keys. The new membership includes the ordinary privileges of a non-paying member of the site, together with access to site aspects specific to the inviter and the creation of the invitation, such as but not limited to folders created by the inviter, documents or other files uploaded by the inviter, blogs or postings by the inviter, alerts as to future events initiated by the inviter, information about purchasable items recommended by the inviter, free access to documents or other viewable entities for which the inviter has purchased access, or a family tree presented from the viewpoint of the invitee. | 08-28-2008 |
20080313243 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HARMONIZATION OF VARIANTS OF A SEQUENTIAL FILE - A set of versions of a file, with one chosen as baseline version, is displayed as a single flow of material where all agree with the baseline and in separate difference columns where they do not. A current version may be edited either directly or by adoption of material from different versions, which may be toggled in and out of visibility. Sequential undo (step-wise or by a slider) can be localized to chosen subsets of the current version, and any chosen subset can be restored as a unit to an earlier state. | 12-18-2008 |
20090064284 | Method and System for Access to Material on a Web Site - A user connected to a first service mounted on a remote server is enabled to connect to a second service, on the same or another server, without new steps required for log-in, and optionally including the passing of parameters from the first to the second service that enable the second service to open in a manner appropriate to the state of the user's interaction with the first service at the moment of requesting the connection. In the case of the second service being provided from a second server, authentication is provided by means of an authentication broker, which provides a token that the operating system of the user's computer is induced (via its normal response to received messages) to embed in a request for service to the second server, which verifies the token by an exchange with the broker. In either case, once the connection with the second server is achieved, later repeated access may be enabled without the user having to go through the procedure required to enable such access from scratch. | 03-05-2009 |
20090199090 | Method and system for digital file flow management - We construct a systematic scheme of information concerning provenance among digital objects, make this information available to the user, and use it to modify the effect of user's actions. Such relationships are derived by comparison of elements in the files or by making records when creating them. This information may be displayed by a view of a descent tree, a flow diagram, or internal markup of a combined view of object content. The provenance structure enables selection of related subsets for search, constraints on search such as ‘root occurrence’ or ‘unmerged occurrences’, and selection of appropriate objects to merge or respond to. It defines the active set of objects for any chosen time, enabling a display of commonality and difference among versions at any stage of a project involving one or more collaborators, with or without one of them having final authority over the suggestions of the others. Applications include but are not limited to project flow management including bug reporting and correction, collaborative authoring (by document circulation or by wiki), enhanced chat, enhanced navigation among available objects, and retrieval of objects by following provenance pathways. | 08-06-2009 |
