20100328726 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED CAPTURE OF DOCUMENT METADATA AND DOCUMENT IMAGING - The present invention comprises a hardware/software combination that is configured to provide for automated capture of metadata associated with paper-based documents. A “reservation” for the metadata and a digital image of the paper-based document is created whenever a digital image of a paper-based document is to be associated with a computer record. The relevant metadata is automatically captured from a computer screen and is then stored in a previously created database record associated with the reservation. Additionally, the metadata can also be associated with a later-captured digital image of the paper-based document by placing a label on the paper-based document. The label contains identifying information for the reservation and this information becomes embedded in the digital image of the paper-based document, which is subsequently created by scanning the paper-based document bearing the label. The subsequently created digital image can then be related to the appropriate metadata by extracting the reservation identification information from the label embedded in the digital image. The overall process provides for automated capturing of metadata and then relating the metadata to a subsequently created digital image of the paper-based document, thereby reducing errors and increasing efficiency by minimizing human interaction in the process. | 12-30-2010 |

20080229189 | METHOD FOR SYNCHRONOUSLY BINDING AN EXTERNAL BEHAVIOR TO A WEB PAGE ELEMENT - A new form of DHTML behaviors, called ˜Element Behaviors,” wherein a behavior component is bound to an HTML element, and not just attached to the element as with attached behaviors. A special processing instruction is used to import the Element Behavior into a Web page. Upon parsing the Web page, the Element Behavior is initialized as soon as it has been downloaded and parsed. This immediate initialization makes the Element Behavior declaratively available to bind synchronously to the element(s) it is modifying. A viewLink is a feature of Element Behaviors that permits encapsulation of a behavior component file (e.g., an HTC file) so that the structure of the HTC file is transparent to a Web page (˜primary document”) to which the HTC file is linked, but the content of the HTC file may be displayed in the primary document. The viewLink provides a pointer to the content in the encapsulated HTC file, and renders that content in the primary document, without incorporating the elements of the encapsulated HTC file into the primary document structure. | 09-18-2008 |
20100011284 | DYNAMIC WEB PAGE BEHAVIOR - In some embodiments, code can be encapsulated in an external behavior component for affecting the behavior of an element inserted into an HTML document. A reference can be attached to the element in the document to associate the element with the external behavior component. A renderer can parse the element in the HTML document and access the external component to modify a behavior of a page image. For example, the properties or location of a displayed element associated with the external behavior component may be changed on an event, the external behavior component can control user data input, or the external behavior component can draw on the page image. Multiple documents can reuse external behavior components, and an element can be associated with multiple external behavior components. The associations between elements and external behavior components may be maintained in cascading style sheets, inline with the elements, and in various formats. | 01-14-2010 |

20080209825 | COLOR CHANGING SYSTEM FOR STRUCTURES AND METHOD THEREFOR - A coating system and method for assisting in the heating or cooling of an underlying structure includes applying a first seamless, elastic solar reflective membrane over the structure, applying a second seamless, elastic thermochromic membrane over the first membrane, and applying a third seamless protective membrane over the second membrane. The second membrane has a color changing material with a clear state above a first transition temperature to permit transmission of solar radiation to the first membrane to reduce structure cooling requirements, and an opaque state below a second transition temperature to absorb radiant energy and reduce structure heating requirements. In addition, a method of detecting defects in a structure includes applying a layer of thermochromic material to the structure, observing a localized area of non-uniform color associated with the thermochromic layer, and ascertaining whether a defect is associated with the localized area. | 09-04-2008 |
