Methods and systems are described that enable a user designing a dashboard to make selections of user interface (UI) elements rather than coding to create and/or edit an interaction between UI elements. UI elements are displayed that allow a user to select a control UI element and a type of interaction. Selections from the user of a type of interaction and of UI elements as target and control UI elements are accepted. The control and target UI elements are displayed in the dashboard and a definition for the interaction is stored. Responsive to a trigger, the interaction is performed.

Creating and/or editing interactions between user interface elements with selections rather than coding

Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with providing a user-accessible card slot are provided. A removable card carrier a configured to mechanically interface an information handling system may include a body and a cover. The body may be adapted to hold a card. The cover may be movably coupled to the body such that exterior surfaces of the cover and the information handling system are substantially flush with each other when card carrier is disposed in the information handling system.

Magnetic retainers for detachably holding and suspending items such as cell phones from a user or support comprise a hanger and a holder that are magnetically coupled together. The holder is removably attached to an item such as a cell phone, and the hanger is removably suspended from the phone user. The hanger selectively, detachably couples to the harness with vertically aligned permanent magnets. The hanger may comprise a loop, clip, or lanyard that is worn or held by the user or attached to a static support. The holder is retrofitted to cell phone structure with a flexible, anti-slip sticky-tape connection that is removably, adhesively secured between parts of the cell phone body, its interior, or its case, being sandwiched and restrained between abutting parts. Magnets are permanently attached to remote ends or portions of the hanger and holder through either a shrink wrap connection or a snap fitting arrangement.

Detachable magnetic retainers

Techniques are provided that allow the user to view on his or her mobile device the body of an email or other items from a message service as well as each of the attachments as thumbnails or individual images. As well, techniques allow the user to view particular attributes of each item, e.g. the number of pages and the page size of a particular attachment. Techniques are provided such that the user may view such thumbnails and/or attributes on a unique URL generated as a result of the generated email. Thus, by such techniques, the user is provided with a platform for mobile devices that allows intuitive selection of what should be or is desired to be printed.

Mobile print email reply with thumbnails

Methods and associated apparatus for semi-continuous casting of hollow ingots are described. In one embodiment a method for the semi-continuous casting of a metallic hollow ingot is provided. The method includes providing a mold that includes a mold center having an inner pipe and an outer pipe arranged to form an annular space for a cooling media and an outer mold, circulating a cooling media in the annular space, feeding a source material to the mold, heating the source material to produce a molten material, moving the mold center progressively downward relative to the outer mold, and solidifying the molten material to form a hollow ingot. Embodiments relating to an apparatus for semi-continuous casting of hollow ingots, and products resulting from the semi-continuous casting of hollow ingots are also described.

Apple corer

A manually operated, two lever arm type garlic press is provided which a detachably associated cleaning plate that is stored at the front end of the one of the lever arms (preferably, the first lever arm). The cleaning plate is provided with projections on its inner surface which are adopted to engage with apertures in the floor plate of the press chamber so as to clean debris from the apertures after usage of the garlic press. During storage, the projections extend forwardly from the associated lever arm. The cleaning plate is provided with opposing side clips and with top and bottom stabilizing legs that coact together and cooperate with side portions of the associated lever arm adjacent to the front end to hold the cleaning plate relative to that lever arm. Preferably, the top stabilizing leg also functions as a lock to retain the lever arms in a closed configuration during garlic press storage.

The present invention is a device for storing and selectively sharpening a knife. The present invention includes a scabbard with opposing first and second ends. An opening is defined in the first end and a passage defined in the scabbard for receiving a knife blade. The device further includes a sharpening device and an engagement device, where the engagement device is in operable communication with the scabbard for selectively moving the sharpening device relative to the scabbard.

A hand held coring device for removing the core from a piece of fruit such as an apple, pear, or the like is disclosed. The device is constructed of a tube having a wall, a central bore, first and second ends, and at least two slots defined within the wall of the tube. The slots preferably extend from the first end of the tube to an area proximate to the second end. Additionally, the second end has a cutting edge for penetrating and cutting the fruit. The present corer has a plunger which is slidably positioned within the central bore of the tube and is linked, via at least two tab connectors, to an outer ring slidably positioned about a portion of the exterior of the tube. A movable guard to protect the cutting edge at the second end, where the guard includes the outer ring slidably positioned about a portion of the exterior of the tube is also featured.

Buoyant jewelry for retaining and protecting personal articles. Each jewelry/retainer comprises a brightly colored, buoyant body coupled to one or more fasteners for securing various articles such as sunglasses, keys, or personal care products which the swimmer or water sportsman desires to conveniently retain. The jewelry items comprise eyeglass retainers, bracelets, anklets, name badges, and necklaces. The body comprises a resilient core of low-density foam covered by a flexible, tubular sheath. The sheath brightly colors and reinforces the body. In one mode the fasteners comprise resilient tubes for axially gripping the ear pieces of conventional glasses. An alternative fastener comprises a flexible fabric channel for receiving fine wire or wrap-around ear pieces. Another embodiment comprises a cord looped through an item to be floated, and an optional cap is provided for slip-fitting over existing containers of personal care products. An alternative jewelry item configuration comprises a buoyant loop formed by clamping the ends in generally parallel relationship, so that the fastener projects angularly away from the loop.

Buoyant tether cords that remove ignition keys from personal watercraft to safely disable the motor in the event a rider falls off. When dropped in the water the cords float so that the ignition key is not lost. The cords float horizontally to maximize visibility. The cord has an elongated embodiment and a looped embodiment. Both have a brightly colored floating body that is attached to a stretchable, coil section. The coil enables the cord to elongate or contract. Both cords have one end to be coupled to the watercraft key, and an opposite end to be coupled to the rider. The floating body comprises an elongated, tubular foam core having an interior passageway. The core is preferably made from lightweight, flexible low-density closed cell foam. The core is preferably coaxially covered by a resilient, tubular knitted fabric sheath that strengthens and colors it. Each coil comprises plastic-coated string. Ends of the coil coaxially penetrate the entire interior of the core, reinforcing the body and strengthening the cord.
