Title: List-bar interface control apparatus and method
Inventor: BIXLER CRAIG
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2005-05-31
Abstract: An enhancement to graphical user interface software adds training and customization features that allow users to select between levels of interface sophistication according to skill level. While pull-down menu functions and toolbar functions are commonly presented independently, the List-Bar interface control allows a user to present a menu and a toolbar together, including positional cues to further speed user familiarization with the toolbar's symbolic abstraction of menu terminology. A novice or occasional user can choose to use a menu alone, while an expert may prefer a toolbar alone. For a progressing user, having both modes displayed, active, and positioned in parallel can speed and reinforce learning. In addition to allowing direct arrow-key-class, mouse-class, and stylus-class pointing and selection tools, List-Bar interface control further directly supports touchscreen-controlled user interface, for which variable and generally more widely spaced selection element presentation on the display is accommodated.

Title: Knife-edge sharpening apparatus
Inventor: JONES TODD
IPC: B24D5/16
Filed: 2004-04-23
Abstract: Two counter-rotating, intermeshing, toothed wheels grind opposite sides of an interposed blade to create or burrIessly sharpen a knife-edge on the blade.  The wheels can be solid or comprised of a fixed stack of toothed disks, concentrically aligned, the teeth of each succeeding disk angularly offset in a common direction from the teeth of the next preceding disk to create a wheel having a plurality of uniform, elongated composite teeth around the circumference of the stack, the teeth being angled from the wheel's axis. Two such wheels, one with teeth angled in an opposite direction, can be counter-rotated and because of the oppositely angled teeth, are capable of intermeshing. The degree of intermeshing can be selectively varied to correspondingly vary the sharpening angle. The apex ridges of both the solid and composite teeth can be selectively profiled to sharpen non-uniformly, e.g.  serrating a blade edge.

Abstract: A scaffolding structure for mounting to a supporting structure such as a bridge includes a track fixable to the supporting structure, and a frame. The frame and track are movable relative to one another, and the frame is also movable relative to the supporting structure between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the track supports the frame, and the track is supported by the supporting structure, so that when the track is fixed to the supporting structure, the frame can advance along the track and therefore along the supporting structure. In the second position, the frame is supported by the supporting structure and the track is supported by the frame, so that the track can advance along the supporting structure. By alternately advancing the frame and the track, the scaffolding structure can advance along the entire length of the supporting structure.
