Method For Hanging/Spacing By The Use Of Adjustable Sliders
ip.com
ABSTRACT: Disclosed are a device and method that allow a user to easily hang an item on a wall with accurate spacing between it and existing pieces. The novel contribution of this invention is a method that allows accountability of the distance from the hanger to the end of the item, and then allows the addition of the empty space in the tool calculation in order to maintain an exact spacing schema.

(Visualization) Method For Representing/Editing/Restructuring Data Strings Visually
ip.com
ABSTRACT: Dealing with data representation in big data screens, we are challenged with making data more usable as well as consumable. This is always challenging in order to deliver the pertinent data to the user without overwhelming them with potentially thousands of solid textual screens. The core idea of this method is to allow the user to immediately, visually, understand the collection of components they had previously defined, in a visual string instead of a textual string, and the ability…
ABSTRACT: Dealing with data representation in big data screens, we are challenged with making data more usable as well as consumable.

The core idea of this method is to allow the user to immediately, visually, understand the collection of components they had previously defined, in a visual string instead of a textual string, and the ability to edit and restructure inline (keeping the user resident), and on the fly.

(Application) Interactive Bio-Feedback Sports Utility / Training Application
ip.com
ABSTRACT: This proposal is multi-part, combining a number of technologies. This is basically a personal biofeedback suit with aggregating software for both hand-held devices and personal pc sync with asynchronous linking to the user's vetted healthcare specialists. The inference engine is a complicated set of algorithms and a back-end database storing all biofeedback and comparing it against user capabilities, benchmark goals and ultimate health goals.

[IBM] Event Processing Visualization Application
Issued US [to come]
ABSTRACT: The task of presenting processes in a visual style has been daunting, especially with multiple applications running various tasks in the background that, once initiated, cannot be monitored. My proposed method provides a way to monitor, reorder, and modify running tasks that, in the past, were not accessible once the initial command has been given. This application could be used to visually monitor/reorg any running task, from system (non-user-initiated) tasks to any user initiated…

ABSTRACT: A user thumb-operated touchscreen keyboard design interface is provided by a processor on a touchscreen display of a handheld device that allows a user to create a user-designed thumb-operated touchscreen keyboard. A set of user inputs to the user thumb-operated touchscreen keyboard design interface is detected in response to user thumb gestures on the touchscreen display. The set of user inputs include a user-specified outline on the touchscreen display of the user-designed thumb-operated touchscreen keyboard with boundaries within a range of motion of a thumb of the user, a group of different user-specified touchscreen input key locations and input key shapes of a group of user-specified touchscreen input keys within the user-specified outline, and user-specified touchscreen input key processor-input function assignments of the group of user-specified touchscreen input keys. The user-designed thumb-operated touchscreen keyboard is implemented as a touchscreen display user input interface to the processor.
