For example, a user can select which fields of a document or class of documents he wishes to have highlighted. The user can also select (a) when he wishes the selected fields to be highlighted, for example, if a field exceeds a threshold and/or (b) how he wishes the selected fields to be highlighted, e.g., overlay the field with a contrasting color. When the user performs a specified action, for example, opens a document, the selected field is selectively highlighted according to the rules for when and how to highlight the selected field. This can help a user quickly recognize important fields in the context of the document. | 12-18-2014 |

20130291660 | Pipette - A pipette for use with pipette tips in which a set metering volume is secured in that the locking body is arranged on the circumference of the annular cylindrical locking element when it is in the locking position. Through this, the transmission part which the locking element comprises on the outer circumference is held fast. The annular cylindrical locking element can be formed separately from a toothed ring for driving a counter mechanism. Thus, it is possible to perform the locking in arbitrary positions or in more selectable rotational positions than in the conventional locking equipment, where a locking element engages into the toothed ring for driving the counter mechanism. | 11-07-2013 |
