The inner display layer includes a fabric layer and a graphic design that is formed on a surface of the fabric layer and that is visible through the outer transparent gripping layer.

The present invention comprises a golf swing training device having a graphic design that illustrates a plurality of golf swing variables, including a club path indicator and a club face angle guide. The template is designed so that golfers may practice swinging a golf club over the top of the template to determine whether their swing follows a desired path. A swing reference guide is included and correlates shot selection, ball path, club path, and club face angle.

A music notation system uses a grid with vertical columns representing musical notes and horizontal rows representing time intervals. Each note of a musical piece is indicated by a selected note symbol in the appropriate column, and extending across multiple rows if intended to be sounded for more than one time interval. Different note symbol shapes are used to indicate different tone qualities or playing styles. Note symbols are colored or graphically textured to indicate different sound intensities. Suggested fingerings may be indicated by numbers marked the note symbols, or by lines connecting notes to be played with the same finger. Other graphical design elements may be used to display rhythmic or harmonic context and, in computerized applications, to show or hide selected musical information, or to activate and listen to a sound recording of a piece of music or individually selected notes.

In order to allow for application development without requiring extensive graphical design by software developers or extensive software knowledge by graphical designers, applications are separated into a view and a model. Properties in the view and properties in the model are associated through data binding, for example, via a data binding engine. This association allows views to be defined declaratively. Transformations may be necessary to allow the data binding. The data binding allows the data and functionality in the model to be used via the UI as defined in the view. Automatically generated UI and command binding are also enabled.

The invention discloses a rapid map making system based on GIS (Geographic Information System) data. The rapid map making system based on the GIS data is used for converting the GIS data into map making data in a high-precision map data format for map making publication, and completing intelligent pre-processing of the map making data in the data conversion process by fully utilizing rich semantic information in the GIS data and map making rules predefined in the map making system. The rapid map making system based on the GIS data comprises an original GIS data reading module, a symbol library establishing module, a graphical design repository module, an element conflict process repository module, a map making rule providing module, a map data generating module and a map file input and output module. According to the invention, the GIS data is converted into the map making data, therefore, the pre-processing operation of a large amount of the map making data can be completed before the map is edited, the map making period of a digital map is shortened, and the map making efficiency and quality based on GIS data are improved.

A system for labeling a button in the field includes a label defining a peripheral boundary and a label-receiving surface defined by the button and adapted for receipt of the label. The label-receiving surface of the button defines a perimeter adapted to accommodate the peripheral boundary of the label. The button includes side and end portions defining raised edges or lips that define the label-receiving surface. The side and end portions serve to align the placement of the label on the label-receiving surface and also constrain lateral movement of the label. The side and end portions also protect the edges of the label against accidental dislodgement and peeling. The label typically has a suitable button identifier such as text, or a graphical design element such as an icon, printed thereon.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for enabling design, generation, and execution of real-time workflows. Such embodiments provide a graphical designer including a plurality of shapes representing the various objects of a workflow that are used to model the workflow. In addition, various embodiments of the graphical designer provide shapes to model aspects of the workflow not found in previous graphical designers. Various embodiments also provide a code generator that converts the representation of the workflow into executable code for multiple target languages. Various embodiments also provide a workflow engine based on a Petri net model responsible for executing the workflow and for delegating tasks to be performed for the workflow to an operating system. In various embodiments, the workflow engine further includes a platform abstraction layer that provides a transition layer from the Petri net language to the operating system language.

A development environment includes a graphical design tool and a build agent. The graphical design tool allows a designer to design a primary logic component of a circuit. The graphical design tool generates modules using a hardware description language to represent the primary logic component of the circuit. The modules include abstract references to infrastructure for the circuit. The build agent synthesizes the modules into netlists and merges the netlists with a description of the infrastructure for the circuit. The infrastructure is generated in a development environment separate from the graphical design tool. The build agent includes an adjuster that adjusts the modules. The adjustment to the modules includes replacing the abstract references to the infrastructure with actual references utilized within the infrastructure.

Searching and/or replacing graphical objects of a design using a computer system. In one aspect of the inventions, a method includes searching a graphical design for all matching instances of graphical objects that match a search pattern. A graphical replacement pattern is received and caused to be displayed based on user input, and the matching instances in the graphical design are replaced with the graphical replacement pattern. At least one result of the replacement of the matching instances is caused to be displayed on a display device.

Computer-implemented methods for allowing users to specify interactive graphical designs are provided. The graphical designs can comprise multiple dimension versions—such as a tablet dimension version or a phone dimension version. Some of the methods involve an inheritance structure that defines a first dimension version of the design as a child of a second dimension version of the design. Specifications for properties of widgets in the graphical design are applied to the design in accordance with the inheritance specification. Some of the methods involve an inheritance characterization that determines how properties of a widget are affected by the inheritance structure across different dimension versions. Some of the methods involve an existence property for the widgets.
