International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

702118

Abstract:

A system for testing an integrated circuit device under test (DUT) communicating though synchronous digital signals and through a high speed serialization/de-serialization (serdes) bus includes a serdes interface circuit for communicating with the DUT via the serdes bus and an integrated circuit (IC) tester for communicating with the DUT and with the serdes interface circuit via digital signals. State changes in the digital signals are synchronized to a clock signal within the IC tester. The serdes interface circuit receives instructions from the IC tester via at least one of the digital signals and responds to the instructions by transmitting data to the DUT via the serdes bus using appropriate serdes protocol, by receiving and storing data transmitted by the DUT via the serdes bus, and by thereafter forwarding the stored data to the IC tester via at least one of the digital signals.

International Classification:

B60G 5/00

US Classification:

280680, 267 52

Abstract:

A vehicle suspension has axle end portions each pivotally coupled to an associated leaf spring and thereby to an associated supporting vehicle frame rail. Control rods are pivotally coupled to the axle at locations below the leaf spring pivots. Desirably, one of such control rods is pivoted to the axle at a location above the wheel axis and the other of such control rods is pivotally coupled to the axle at a location below the wheel axis. A steering mechanism for steering the steerable wheels of a tandem axle includes first and second steering gears mounted to a common frame rail and driven by a single mechanical coupling such as a T-miter box. These steering gears may control respective steering gears at the opposite side of the vehicle.

B60G 1104

US Classification:

280124175

Abstract:

A spring movement limiting device that limits lateral shift of a spring in a vehicle suspension along a vehicle axle direction includes a first element and a second element. The first element is coupled to the axle and to the spring. The second element is separate from and engageable with the first element. The second element is fixed at a predetermined position relative to the vehicle axle. Engagement between the first element and the second element limits the first element and spring from movement in the vehicle axle direction.

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

395773

Abstract:

A method and apparatus creates and plays objects and sound synchronously after eliminating the silent segments of the sound. The method inserts sequence marks into the object and sound data, deletes silent segments of the sound data including the sequence marks that reside in the silent segments, and re-inserts the last deleted sequence mark back into the sound data. In so doing, the system detects the silent segments of the recorded sound stream data and deletes the silent portions from the recorded data. Upon replay of an object and its associated sound, any drawing done during the silent segments are played at the computer's full graphics drawing speed, only slowing down to real-time again when more sounds are encountered. Thus, the system plays "fast while silent" and slows to real-time when sounds are played. This saves the space required to stored the recorded sound, and the user does not have to wait through the silent periods.

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

707512

Abstract:

A method and apparatus pertaining to annotating a document window on a display device of a computer-based system. An annotation window is displayed over a selected portion of the document window where the annotation window is defined by a transparent window area bounded by a border. The annotation window enables the selected portion of the document window to be visible through the annotation window. Annotations are displayed within the annotation window where the annotations have a transparent background enabling the selected portion of the document windows to be visible through the transparent background of the annotations. When the annotation window is closed, the annotations are embedded into a contained document shown in the document window so that the annotations and the document are visible simultaneously in the selected portion of the document window.

International Classification:

G06F 300
G06F 1516

US Classification:

345330

Abstract:

A method of saving, retrieving and dynamically establishing a plurality of conference parameters. A desktop conferencing system includes a plurality of nodes connected in a network. A user of the desktop conferencing system is able to manipulate a persistent conference object where a persistent conference object is an object including a plurality of items of information pertaining to a desktop conference. Each of the conference parameters are monitored, updated and saved. It is then possible to retrieve and dynamically establish conference parameters of a conference stored in a persistent conference object by: (1) prompting a user for an identifier identifying a particular persistent conference object on disk; (2) opening the specified persistent conference object by copying it from disk to memory; (3) reading the conference parameters stored in the persistent conference object in memory; and (4) implementing the conference parameters to establish the desired conference environment.

US Classification:

345344

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for re-drawing a transparent window on at least one display device of a computer based system having a central processor and a memory is disclosed. Having a transparent window and an underlying second window, it is determined whether the underlying second window is active. If the underlying second window is active, the transparent window is hidden. The underlying second window is re-drawn and the transparent window is shown. Otherwise, the transparent window is maintained.

International Classification:

US Classification:

395762

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for relating (called hyperlinking) a region of one document to one or more regions of other documents. This is provided by using a mechanism for linking and embedding objects to establish the endpoints of the hyperlinks (called anchors) together with the creation of intermediate tables which maintain information about relations between regions of documents and attributes of the relationship. When a user selects a region in a document which participates in a relationship, a database program is invoked which displays information about related regions in other documents which may be accessed through the intermediate tables. An auxiliary table maintains information about attributes which may be custom designed by the user, such as author, date of creation, etc. The intermediate tables allow relationships among multiple regions of documents created by different applications. Relationships are bidirectional in that the user can traverse from any region in a document to any other region in the same relationship.
