71. The inspection system of claim 67 wherein the support beam section comprises a first end and a second end and wherein the first leg section is pivotally attached to the first end.
72. The inspection system of claim 71 wherein the support beam section comprises a second end, opposite said first end, and wherein the second leg section is pivotally attached to the second end.
73. The inspection system of claim 67 wherein the first leg section comprises an X-ray source and wherein the second leg section comprises a detector array.
74. The inspection system of claim 73 wherein the control system deploys the inverted U-shaped frame by moving the first leg section and second leg section away from one another such that the support beam section pivots into an imaging position in which the X-ray source and detector array are substantially parallel to one another.
75. The inspection system of claim 67 wherein, in the first configuration, at least one of the first leg section, second leg section, or support beam section are attached to a bed section of a delivery vehicle.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising
presenting, in a browser user interface window, a plurality of tabs individual ones of which being associated with web pages or activities that have been opened; and
automatically grouping multiple tabs together in a visually-distinctive way, wherein said automatically grouping is performed responsive to a user’s interaction with tabs that are to be grouped.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said automatically grouping is performed by grouping tabs using a visually distinctive color.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein said automatically grouping is performed by grouping tabs using a visually distinctive pattern.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein said automatically grouping is performed by grouping tabs using a visually distinctive color and pattern.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein said automatically grouping is performed by grouping one or more tabs adjacent to at least one other tab belonging to a group of tabs.
