Optical stylus and passive digitizing tablet data input system
William E. Bennett,Stephen J. Boies,Anthony Robin Davies,Karl-Friedrich Etzold,Todd Kanner Rodgers +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a stylus and table X-Y data input system for a video display system is presented, where absolute positional information is encoded in binary form in the tablet in such a fashion that the pen position upon the tablet is automatically determinable by illuminating a particular area of the tablet and reading off the digitized XY coordinate data stored therein.

ITS: a tool for rapidly developing interactive applications
TL;DR: The ITS architecture as mentioned in this paper separates applications into four layers: the dialog layer defines the content of the user interface, independent of its style; the style program layer implements primitive toolkit objects that are composed by the rule layer into complete interaction techniques; and the action layer implements back-end application functions.
Patent
Deferred acknowledgment communications and alarm management
TL;DR: In this paper, a message bundle is sent through a slow communication link and the message bundles are temporarily stored as outstanding messages in a retransmission queue until the transmitted messages are acknowledged or until a time-out period associated with the messages has lapsed.
Patent
Method and apparatus for electronically integrating data captured in heterogeneous information systems
William E. Bennett,Richard F. Boehme,Samuel Kallner,Stephen E. Levy,Paul M. Matchen,Michael J. Ryan,Richard D. Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a system that includes at least one local computer system which electronically captures information input by a user of the computer system and can access one or more remote servers via the Internet for form a dynamically reconfigurable wide area network (WAN).
Patent
Sequence of events detection in a process control system
TL;DR: A sequence of events detection system for use in a process control system uses sequence of event detection cards to detect and store indications of events and the times at which these events take place within the process control network.
