The invention relates to a device made of an elastic plastic material for the optical and/or haptic marking of hen's eggs to characterize their properties, which device is at least partly adapted to the outer shape of the egg in a positive locking (form-locking) and/or non-positive locking (force-locking) way.

Identification device

When a user selects an arbitrary symbol (word, phrase, sentence, graphic, image, etc.) from an arbitrary application on a client computer , and copies this symbol to a clipboard , a linker , being a terminate-and-stay-resident-type process, automatically captures that symbol from the clipboard . Similarly, when a user types at a keyboard from an arbitrary application , those typed characters are first passed to an input method editor , where they are temporarily stored within a buffer , and when the user enters a prescribed &ldquo;okay&rdquo; key sequence the characters within that buffer are converted as necessary and passed to the application , but if the user enters a prescribed &ldquo;link&rdquo; key sequence, a character string determining component of the input method editor passes the characters within the buffer to a linker . In either case, the linker sends the captured symbol to a URL server . The URL server possesses a database , accumulated within which there are sets of symbols A, B, . . . and URLs A, B, . . . corresponding thereto, searches the database and retrieves therefrom a URL corresponding to the received symbol , and returns that retrieved URL to the linker . The linker launches a WWW browser and passes the URL received from the server to the WWW browser

System and a process for specifying a location on a network

The operation of a computer system can be determined by the content of highlighted data on a display device. In this computer system, the highlighted data could be located anywhere on the display device. The highlighted data is not related to any embedded links. In one embodiment, a temporary storage buffer is used to store data highlighted by a user. The computer system also contains a table (or database) associating a list of data with a list of computer operations. When a pre-assigned key is pressed, the content of the temporary storage buffer is compared with the list of data in the database. When there is a match, the associated operation is performed. As a result, the operation performed is related to the content of the highlighted data.
