Is their a Tiff viewer compatible with the US Patent Office Web Site?

Viewing image files of pre-1948 patents at the USP&TMO site requires a compatible Tiff file viewer. The one built into FF4 and previous versions does not work. Is there a plug-in for this? In the past AccelViewTiff worked. Quicktime doesn't work except on Safari.
Mac OS X 10.5.8

No luck. I installed ToyViewer and instructed Firefox to use ToyViewer to view Tiff files, but it does not appear to work on the Patent Office site. The PO apparently uses some weird compression scheme that most Tiff viewers cannot handle. It was designed for the Netscape browser. Perhaps some kind patent junky will build a plug-in for Firefox that displays the Patent images? : )

  • Firefox does not work with the USPS self ship web site. Will not allow printing of postage labels.

    Some months ago, user "junkbondman" asked this question somewhat poorly, and partly as a result got a non-responsive boilerplate answer by someone who did not read the question's key (if cryptic) point:
    > Select a service type. THIS IS WHERE THE WEB SITE FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY
    That's too bad, because 16 other users identified "HAVE SAME PROBLEM" - as had, no doubt, a large majority of the 677 viewers of the question. However, maybe to get a better answer we need to start with a better definition of the problem.
    The way that the USPS site <cns.usps.com> works to print a label is that addresses (return and forward) are defined, the package weight and value are specified, and then a shipping mode is selected before paying and printing the label. The shipping mode is selected in a section titled "Select a service type", via an embedded table using a vertical scroll-bar that Firefox cannot handle. [Firefox is not alone in that. For example, Safari under iOS cannot scroll the embedded table, but USPS provides a mobile app which mitigates that problem by presenting the table differently.]
    Now, it should be stipulated that the table is the worst element in a bad page that does not begin to pass W3 validation [71 errors, 19 warnings - looks like government work]. However, other browsers (like Google Chrome) handle that table with apparent ease. The question is whether Firefox should be able to do so - and, if so, how? As of Fx 33.0, this still does not work.
    NOTES:
    (1) Unfortunately, to examine this problem requires setting up a USPS account in order to see the shipping page. Setting up the account is easy, but it is a small extra burden to examining the problem.
    (2) The problem has been reported to USPS, but has elicited no sign of intelligent life.

    ''I get the "pointer" mouse cursor when mousing over the blue bar, and I can click on it and scroll the contents as with any other scroll bar, but the bar doesn't move up and down in sync with the content being scrolled: it just stays put. If I do not slide straight down, the blue bar may twitch a pixel left or right.''
    Great description! - sorry if you implied that earlier and I misunderstood, but I think that description adds crucial details:
    * must hover over the ''blue'' part of the bar (representing the visible part of the table) and
    * get the "selector" cursor (the pointing finger), then
    * hold that click while scrolling (inside or outside of the table doesn't matter, as long as that click is held) to the needed table row, then
    * release the click, and the table stays in place to allow a selection.
    Most pages with an embedded scrollable input form (like the box I'm typing in on this page) do not change to the selector cursor when hovering over ''any'' part of the scroll bar, either ''blue'' (representing the visible part of the input form) or ''white'' (the invisible part of the input form). And it is common to click in the ''white'' part of the bar as a way of saying "show what is not visible". You can't do that with these USPS input forms, which behave differently.
    Now, even with this method, that remains a very unintuitive (because the scroll bar does not reflect the position, and because the actual ''selections'' never get the "selector" cursor) and awkward way to work, so there is no visual feedback on either part of the operation.
    And, I must try to understand why some browsers treat this differently. For example with Chrome (like Firefox), the cursor changes to "selector" in the blue part of the scroll bar, but not in the white part, but with Chrome (unlike Firefox):
    - a ''click'' in the white ("invisible") part of the scroll bar or
    - a ''drag'' on the blue ("visible") part of the scroll bar
    causes movement in the required direction - altogether more intuitive behavior.
    Bottom line: At least there is a way to make this work with Firefox, but it is awkward, to say the least. It will require a lot more thought to think about:
    * how and why some browsers handle these non-standard input forms with such intuitive behavior (that is, behavior that is familiar in more standard input forms),
    * whether the fact that Firefox is less accommodating in that regard is a reportable bug, or whether Firefox should not have to worry about sites (like usps.com) that can't be bothered to comply with standards.
    What do you think about those questions?

    after I input all information, the select a service section does not operate properly and I cannot print a shipping lable.

  • I need version 3. 6.18 back as version 4 is not compatible with the electronic filing system of the U. S. Bankrutpcy Court.

    I'm copying the message I received from the U. S. Bankruptcy Court:
    ECF users are advised NOT TO UPGRADE to version 4.x or 5.x of the Firefox browser.
    The Firefox browser versions 4.x and 5.x are not fully compatible with the court's ECF system. Several issues involving electronic filing have been reported. Furthermore, the "View Labels" button from the Creditor Mailing Matrix is not functional when using the upgrade. The recommended version of Firefox for use with ECF is 3.6.18, and the recommended version of Internet Explorer is either 7.x or 8.x.
    If you have any questions, please contact the ECF Help Desk at 503-326-1510, 541-431-4005 or 866-777-0442.
    I need to get version 3.6.18 back.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

  • Content Tab: None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request

    Hi All,
    **One thing I am not clear yet of all my years with OBIEE is working with the content tab in BMM.**
    I have made a rpd the joins in physical layer as shown below:
    https://picasaweb.google.com/114804305606242416264/OBIEEError#5663056545119428530
    And the BMM layer as:
    https://picasaweb.google.com/114804305606242416264/OBIEEError#5663056519553812930
    Error I am getting when i run a request from the 3 columns from the selected 3 tables is:
    Dim - Comment Code Details
    Fact - Complaint
    Dim - Service Details
    Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Sr Num:[DAggr(Fact - Complaint.Sr Num by [ Dim - Service Details.Sr Cat Type Cd, Dim - Comment Code Details.Cmtcode name] )]. (HY000).
    I get no error for consistency.. I read everywhere and I know i need to set the appropriate aggregation levels in the various dims and facts LTS properties to help OBIEE understanding our model, but how to do that.. how do i decide... how should I approach, what should be the aggregation level, what details.
    When i click More button i see different options: Copy, Copy From, Get Levels, Check Level, what do these mean.
    Aggregation Content, group by - Logical Level or Column which one should i choose and how should I decide.
    Can anyone explain the Content Tab in details and from scratch with some example and why we get these errors.... I know many people who are well versed with many other things related to RPD but this. A little efforts of explaining from you guys will really be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dev

    Hi Deepak,
    Option 1:
    My tables in physical layer are joined as below:
    D1--> F1 <--D2--> F2 <--D3
    Same way i model it in BMM
    D1--> F1 <-- D2--> F2 <--D3
    Here D1 is non Conformed Dimension for F2 and D3 is non Conformed dim for F1. Later create Dimensional hierarchies, I tried setting up the content levels
    I go Sources>content tab of Fact F1 I set
    Dimensions----------- Logical level
    D1---------------------- D1 Detail
    D2---------------------- D2 Detail
    D3---------------------- D3 Total
    then, I go Sources>content tab of Fact F2 I set
    Dimensions----------- Logical level
    D1---------------------- D1 Total
    D2---------------------- D2 Detail
    D3---------------------- D3 Detail
    Then, I also go in all the dimensions and set their content levels to Details, but it still gives me errors not sure where I am going wrong in setting the content levels.
    I need to know whether the way I have modeled it in BMM is right,
    Option 2:
    I can combine the two facts in a single Logical Fact or the above design should also work.
    (F1&F2)<--D1, D2 , D3 joined separately using complex logical joins.
    what will be the content tab details?
    Thanks,
    Dev

  • I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

    I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
    The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
    PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

    Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
    I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

  • I have Norton 360 and it's not compatible with the upgrade to Firefox 4? How do I get Norton activated now for the internet?

    I received a notice that I should upgrade to the Firefox 4. After I did the upgrade I then got a notice that Norton wasn't compatible with the the upgrade. How do I go about getting my Norton Security to work with this upgrade. So right now I have nothing in which is protecting my computer while surfing. Nothing against your product BUT I want what I already had/have to be the one protecting my computer. So what needs to be done so I can have my existing computer security to work with this upgrade. Otherwise I'll go back to the previous version which did work with Norton.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.

  • Looking for a sports video camera that is compatible with the mac

    Looking for a video camera that can record sports well and is also compatible with the mac. I've been using iMovie to edit videos for a highlight reel of my highschool soccer games that I coach.

    I like Sony HD MiniDV (HDV) Handycam Camcorder - HDRFX1000, but I have also used several older Sony (DCR-TRV17 and DCR-TRV70) and Canon (VIXIA HV20, VIXIA HV30, and VIXIA HV40) tape-based Firewire-equipped camcorders with good results.
    I prefer tape-based Firewire-equipped cameras because of their IEEE 1394 transfer speed, compatibility with iMovie HD, and ability to serve as the source recording directly into iMovie when desired.  If none of these characteristics is important to you, other Mac-compatible camcorders with suitable zoom ranges and lens speeds for the light levels you encounter should also do nicely for recording at your games.
    You do not say which iMovie version you are using, but you can find about known compatible camcorders by searching for the info in a search like this one.

    Regards,

    Hi NN
    You need to follow steps in below link to model your BMM layer for the report to work with non confirmed dimensions.
    http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/multiple-fact-reporting-on-non-conforming-dimensions/
    Once you have followed these steps you can use the non confirmed dimension in the reports.When you see the logs to see the query generated by obiee,it generated 2 queries 1 with confirmed dimension and other with non conformed dimension.When you filter using non confirmed dimension you will now not notice any error but the results will not be filtering out because the filter will be applied only in 1 query which is valid
    Now for this to work what you can do is ,instead of using the filter drag the column you like to filter as a prompt in your view.default it to the value you need using the case statement and hide it.This is one of the work around.
    There may be many other work arounds for this but you need to understand that for you requirment to work you need to tweek OBIEE to generate 1 query instead of 2  queries.
