Title: Electrical isolation of vehicle body carriers
Inventor: PENN MARK
IPC: C25D13/00
Filed: 2010-03-24
Abstract: A technique for electrically isolating a vehicle body carrier from a vehicle body during an electrodeposition coating process, and a vehicle body carrier that has been so electrically isolated.  Points of potential charge transfer to the vehicle body carrier are preferably isolated. Electric current is routed to a vehicle body on the carrier by means of a conductor cable that preferably runs through the hollow interior of at least one vehicle carrier support member to a conductive vehicle body support component, thereby electrically charging the vehicle body. The retention component and other conductive points of contact between the vehicle body and the vehicle body carrier are isolated to prevent charge transfer. In this manner, the vehicle body carrier will not attract e-coat during the electrodeposition process and, therefore, will not experience a buildup of e-coat material.

Title: Processing user input events in a web browser
Inventor: TREAT ADAM C
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2012-01-05
Abstract: A method and computing device are provided for processing user events received via a user interface, such as a touchscreen, in multiple threads. When a user event is received for a target element in a webpage, the user event is dispatched to both a main browser thread and a secondary thread. The secondary thread processes user events in accordance with established default actions defined within the browser, while the main thread processes the user events in accordance with any event handlers defined for that target element. The main thread processing may be delayed by other interleaved task, and the secondary thread may be given priority over the main thread. When the secondary thread completes processing, an updated webpage is displayed. When the main thread subsequently completes processing, its updated rendering of the webpage is displayed. The secondary thread thus provides an early user interface response to the user event.
