20120079465 | COMPILE-TIME BOUNDS CHECKING FOR USER-DEFINED TYPES - Compile-time optimized bounds checking of user-defined types is provided. A user-defined class has an annotated memory-accessing method, and an annotated bound-providing member such as an integer field containing a bound or a method that returns a bound when called. The user-defined-bounds check may supply bounds checking where the programming language has none, or it may supplement existing bounds checks, e.g., by wrapping a built-in array type or a garbage-collector-managed type. Bounds checking can be extended beyond arrays and other types whose layout is controlled by a compiler, allowing efficient systems programming in a managed code environment. A bounds-check representation is inserted by the compiler in intermediate language code. Optimization then reduces duplicative bounds checking. | 03-29-2012 |

20140282151 | User Interface for Toolbar Navigation - A system and method for navigating a collection of toolbar items that are displayed on an electronic display screen. The toolbar items, such as buttons, are organized into an ordered set of toolbar pages. Each toolbar page contains a fixed number of toolbar items. One toolbar page from the set is displayed at a time in a fixed display area, e.g., a tile, on the display screen. User input causes the currently displayed toolbar page to be replaced by another toolbar page in the ordered set. The user input, such as a continuous swipe gesture across the toolbar display tile, determines the direction of navigation through pages in the ordered set and the speed of the page navigation. The toolbar display area can show the position of the currently displayed toolbar in the ordered set and animated transitions between toolbar items may be displayed to signal toolbar page replacements. A user input, such as a tap of a finger, can select the replacement toolbar. | 09-18-2014 |

20140053516 | Western Safety Stirrup - A western safety stirrup is disclosed having an elastic band forming the outer side of the portion of the stirrup wherein a boot is to be placed, held at top and bottom by studs. The upper stud is recessed below the outer side of the stirrup so as not to catch on clothing or brush. The lower stud has a flattened head and protrudes at an angle downwardly, and is attached to the elastic band be means of a leather wrap having holes in each end to place over the lower stud. When outward pressure is placed on the elastic band, it pops off and the boot is released from the stirrup. A leather keeper flap over the band attached at its upper end allows for the elastic to break away while it protecting against snagging and provides a more western aesthetic appearance to the stirrup. | 02-27-2014 |
