• Excanvas – canvas support for IE
• Flot - highly configurable charts in jquery with json support, etc.
• jQgrid – fast live interface with large datasets
• Tufte Graph – more pretty jQuery charts

Also useful are the jQuery plugins infintedrag.js, jeditable.js, curvycorners.js, etc. for quick nice visual and interface improvements.

Also, I did some database visualization my least year of college.  The project was Intergraphik, a filtering, navigation, and visualization tool in jQuery.  Screenshot below shows a dataset ripped from myStarbucksIdea.com (a SalesForce implementation with a nice 80,000 idea submissions.)

For no particular reason than perhaps to attempt to identify a market, find or common threads amongst a talent base, or acknowledge related research which may interface with OneSlate, here is that list. In no particular order:
