Appl. No.:

09/143555

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

707515, 707102, 707517, 707522

Abstract:

A virtual document generated within the environment of a document management system. The document management system provides for the separation of the document content from properties which describe the content. Bit providers are implemented to retrieve the content for a document in a manner such that the document is unaware of the location of the content which is retrieved. Generation of a virtual document recognizes that a one-to-one correlation between a document and the contents which make up that document are not required. Therefore, content for a single DMS document may be dispersed across numerous storage repositories. Alternatively, a virtual document may be a sub-portion of a file on a single repository, or a combination of such contents.

Roy Want - Los Altos CA
David Goldberg - Palo Alto CA
Anthony G. LaMarca - Redwood City CA
Todd A. Cass - San Francisco CA

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G09G 334

US Classification:

345108, 345 85, 40439, 359227

Abstract:

A bistable flap array display in which flaps selectively cover portions of a background substrate in response to fluid flow and a flap catchment mechanism, each flap rendering at least one pixel of the display. The catchment mechanism can be electrostatically based and the fluid can reduce the charge required to operate the catchment mechanism by creating a partial vacuum that lifts the flaps until the flow can impinge on the flap directly.

Inventors:

Anthony G. LaMarca - Redwood City CA
James P. Dourish - San Francisco CA
Warren K. Edwards - San Francisco CA
Michael P. Salisbury - Mountain View CA

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

715500, 707 1

Abstract:

A document management system is provided which organizes, stores and retrieves documents according to properties attached to the documents. Applications which function based on hierarchical path names communicate to the document management system through a translator. A tag is inserted into the path of a document to identify the document and represent a dynamic collection. The same tag is inserted into the path of files which support the document so that the supporting files are related to the document by the path tag. In this manner, the document management system identifies and locates all documents which are related to each other based on the tag. Thus, an application is provided with all related files even though the application may not know where the files are actually stored or retrieved from.

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G02B 2608

US Classification:

359211, 345108

Abstract:

A display array element including a substrate, a prism rotatable relative to the substrate, and a fluid conduit defined in part by the substrate. The prism has a first viewable surface having fist reflectance characteristics and a second viewable surface having second reflectance characteristics. The fluid conduit permits direction of fluid against the prism to rotate the prism to selectively allow viewing of one of the first and second viewable surfaces.

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709205, 709204, 709227, 707102

Abstract:

Systems and methods for connecting two or more individuals to an Internet conversation based on their mutual interests, the current content they may be viewing and what they want to talk about at that time. The techniques of the present invention allow an individual who starts a conversation to maintain full control over who is able to join that conversation as well as how many are able to join at any one time. A user who desires to start or join a conversation about a particular topic or story selects an indicator, such as an icon, associated with the specific topic or story. The user is presented with an option to start or join a conversation. If the user opts to start a conversation, the user is presented with a comment page, and the user enters a comment, or comments, that preferably is intended to spark an interest in other users. The comment is then presented to other users. Those users who may desire to join in a conversation with the conversation starter respond with their own comment, which is then sent to the conversation starter.

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

702104, 700217

Abstract:

In one embodiment a sensor calibration system includes a robotic platform able to navigate to sensors distributed throughout an environment. The sensors may measure, for example, acoustic levels, temperature, luminance, or humidity. The robotic platform is equipped with at least one set of calibrated sensors and is capable of maneuvering around the environment to respective positions adjacent to the sensors to perform on site calibration. Such proximity also permits recharging power supplies of sensors and download/upload of information to and from the sensor.
