TL;DR: In this paper, a system consisting of a sensor, user interface, and an auxiliary device is presented for sensing blood glucose data of a patient, where the auxiliary device can be a patient monitor or other display or signal device, which displays information about the data collected by the sensor.
Abstract: A system is provided for sensing blood glucose data of a patient. The system includes a sensor, user interface, and an optional auxiliary device. If the connection between the sensor and user interface is by a wire, the sensor remains powered when the wire is disconnected. The communication between the sensor and the user interface may be wireless. The auxiliary device can be a patient monitor or other display or signal device, which displays information about the blood glucose data collected by the sensor. The sensor is connected to sensor electronics, which include a sensor power supply, a voltage regulator, and optionally a memory and processor.

TL;DR: This paper describes the mechanisms Comic Chat uses to perform automation of aspects of comics generation, as well as novel pects of the program’s user interface.
Abstract: Comics have a rich visual vocabulary, and people find them app ing. They are also an effective form of communication. We ha built a system, called Comic Chat, that represents on-line com nications in the form of comics. Comic Chat automates numer aspects of comics generation, including balloon construction layout, the placement and orientation of comic characters, the fault selection of character gestures and expressions, the incorp tion of semantic panel elements, and the choice of zoom facto the virtual camera. This paper describes the mechanisms Comic Chat uses to perform this automation, as well as novel pects of the program’s user interface. Comic Chat is a working program, allowing groups of people to communicate over the Inter It has several advantages over other graphical chat programs cluding the availability of a graphical history, and a dynamic grap ical presentation.

TL;DR: In this article, a FIM system integrates data from a plurality of interconnected local databases to provide users with access to a virtual database, which includes a user interface for generating a global query to search the virtual database and a smart dictionary database (SDD) that contains configuration data, a data information manager (DIM) that decomposes the global query into local queries, and local information managers (LIMs) that execute local queries to search for and retrieve data from the enumerated databases.
Abstract: A FIM system integrates data from a plurality of interconnected local databases to provide users with access to a virtual database. The FIM includes a user interface for generating a global query to search the virtual database, a smart dictionary database (SDD) that contains configuration data, a data information manager (DIM) that decomposes the global query into local queries, and a plurality of local information managers (LIMs) that execute the local queries to search for and retrieve data from the enumerated databases. A filter generates a list of those local databases that contain information relevant to the global query. As a result, the DIM only generates local queries for the enumerated local databases. An input translator converts the global query into the respective local formats for the local databases so that the FIM provides true integration of heterogeneous databases. An output translator converts the data retrieved from each local database into a uniform i/o format so that the data presented to the user is integrated. The user typically selects the i/o format as his or her local format or a global format associated with the virtual database.

03 Nov 1995TL;DR: In this article, a system for the capture and playback of temporal data representing a collaborative activity such as a meeting is presented. But the system is limited to the capture of a single event.
Abstract: A system for the capture and playback of temporal data representing a collaborative activity such as a meeting. Such temporal data is captured by one or more capture devices (e.g. audio recordings or an electronic whiteboard). Temporal data is comprised of timestreams and events. Timestreams are sets of timestamped data which represent some recordable aspect of the meeting. Events are contained within a timestream that represent natural activities that occurred during the course of the session. Events are used to create indices which provide direct access to a point or span in time during the collaborative activity. Playback of a session is performed under the control of a session access device. Coupled to the session access device are a plurality of players for playing back timestreams. The session access device utilizes event information to create a user interface for controlling session replay. The user interface is comprised of a plurality of windows. Each window may represent a player, a playback controller or an editor.

03 Jun 2005TL;DR: An authoring environment for creating and/or editing user interface elements such as widgets used in a unified interest layer is presented in this paper, which allows third-party developers to easily create widgets that have a look and feel that is consistent with a predefined set of widgets.
Abstract: An authoring environment for creating and/or editing user interface elements such as widgets used in a unified interest layer. The authoring environment facilitates creation of widgets that have a consistent appearance and mechanism, and allows third-party developers to easily create widgets that have a look and feel that is consistent with a predefined set of widgets.
