4 Jun 1996TL;DR: In this article, a control window has the appearance of a file folder including an edit field and three tabs that may be selected to invoke three different control functions: notes pages, meeting minutes, and action items.
Abstract: A presentation system having a control window that may be invoked while the presentation system is in a slide-show mode. The control window may be displayed on a monitor, in front of a slide, within the boundary of the slide, and without resizing the slide, while the presentation system remains in the slide-show mode. The control window has the appearance of a file folder including an edit field and three tabs that may be selected to invoke three different control functions. The control functions selectively invoked by these tabs allow the user to effectively interact with the content of a slide presentation during the course of the presentation. The three tabs are notes pages tab, meeting minutes tab, and action items tab. Selecting the notes pages tab causes speaker's note associated with the current slide to be displayed in the control window. Selecting the meeting minutes tab allows the user to record a contemporaneous note during the course of the presentation. Selecting the action items tab allows the user to create new slides that are automatically appended to the end of the slide presentation. The font size of an action-item slide may be automatically adjusted, and a topic item may be moved from one action items slide to another, to avoid presenting a single "orphan" topic item on the last action-item slide.

TL;DR: In this paper, a data composing, editing and formatting system for use in business offices by typists and composers of business letters and documents is presented, where a cathode-ray tube display is utilized to display keyed data and data inputted by a secondary media reader in a manner analogous to the display of a page of typed data on a typewriter.
Abstract: A data composing, editing and formatting system for use in business offices by typists and composers of business letters and documents. A cathode-ray tube display is utilized to display keyed data and data inputted by a secondary media reader in a manner analogous to the display of a page of typed data on a typewriter. Once the data is so inputted, additional data can be inserted at a point defined by the operator without any resulting loss of information, word integrity, columnar definition or paragraph designation. Additionally, data can be deleted and the data located down page from the deleted data will shift up page to fill in where the deleted data was located without loss of paragraph designation. Text modification controls further include data centering within defined margins, transfer of data from one page position to another without loss of data or paragraph definition, automatic adjustment of the data to conform to new margin settings and a unique hyphenation operation. Once the data has been inputted and modified, it is transferred to a serial printer and/or a secondary media recorder for permanent recording. Special controls effect the optimum utilization of the serial printer by utilizing margin stop locations of the displayed data as well as tab stop location to define printer tabulation operations.

TL;DR: In this article, a computerized video game machine having a finite number of outcomes embodied in a computer readable tab cartridge that must be replenished after the total number of outcome is exhausted.
Abstract: This invention is a computerized video game machine having a finite number of outcomes embodied in a computer readable tab cartridge that must be replenished after the total number of outcomes is exhausted. As each player plays the game, the number tabs playable is reduced by one and the play tab is analyzed as to whether it is a winning tab or not. If the tab is a winning tab then the symbols of the tab are compared to a look-up table to determine the pay-out which is then provided to the player. Once the tab is exhausted the machine is no longer operable until the tab cartridges are recharged. The tab cartridges are recharged by electronic means by entering a reset code through input means such as touching buttons. Once the tab has been recharged then the machine will be able to be operable having the same number of tabs before the tabs were exhausted through play.

TL;DR: A system for resetting or repositioning one set tab and causing following following tabs to be repositioned is described in this article, which is primarily made up of an electronic tab rack for storing the location of set tabs.
Abstract: A system for resetting or repositioning one set tab and causing following tabs to be repositioned. The apparatus is primarily made up of an electronic tab rack for storing the location of set tabs, input means for defining a new location for one of the set tabs, and logic means for repositioning the one tab to the new location in the tab rack and causing all following tabs to be repositioned in the tab rack. The system of this invention also has a memory for storing text and tab codes, an output device for displaying text, and control means for controlling the display of text relative to the repositioned tabs.

4 Jan 2002TL;DR: In this article, a flag or marker indicating that a page contains a tab plus the information that needs to be rendered on the tab inside the PDF page is stored in memory, which enables the user to move this page around in the document or even copy it to a different document without losing this information.
Abstract: To allow for the flexibility of printing the tab contents on any one of the tab pages of an ordered tab set, a flag or marker indicating that a page contains a tab plus the information that needs to be rendered on the tab inside the PDF page is stored in memory. This enables the user to move this page around in the document or even copy it to a different document without losing this information. Once the document containing such pages is to be printed, a print output module goes through the PDF document and produces the tabs in the correct locations on the tab pages.
