Title: Method and system for presenting digital media
Inventor: HILL TOM C
IPC: G06F3/0489
Filed: 2001-08-06
Abstract: A user interface method and system is described for presenting digital media to a user in familiar environments, and allowing user manipulation of the media and environments. The digital media includes collections of photographs, which are arranged and presented to the user as photo albums. Each of the photo albums has properties determined by the user, including how a selected photo album will be displayed. Examples include display as photographs in an open photo album, as a collection of framed pictures hanging on a gallery wall, as a storybook with each picture having associated text, and as a filmstrip. Each of the photo albums can also be displayed as a slide show. The user interface also includes menus from which various operations can be selected by the user. User selection of photo albums, individual pictures, and menu options, as well as the entry of text, can be accomplished solely by use of cursor control and selection keys, making the interface particularly well suited to users of set-top box equipped televisions.

Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: This invention relates to the field of communications systems. More particularly, this invention is a system and method for subdividing a class of service data flow into multiple subflows. A modem downloads a configuration file (182). A packet ready for transmission is examined to determine the class of service associated therewith (186). Once the class of service is determined, a subflow bucket associated with the packet is checked (188). If sufficient tokens are available within the bucket, the appropriate number of tokens are assigned to the packet (190, 192). The packet is then transmitted (194). If a sufficient number of tokens are not available in the bucket, the packet is held in queue, and the next queued packet is examined (190, 186).

IPC: F02D41/08
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: The amount of a change in the fuel injection amount that
needs be made in accordance with a change in the target idle
speed NETRG is corrected by the rotation speed correction
factor QIPNT. When the engine friction is changed due to a
change in the actual engine speed NE, the fuel injection
amount is adjusted by using a friction correction factor
QIPBB. The friction correction factor QIPBB is obtained
independently from the other correction factors and by using a
specially designed map. Therefore, all the correction
factors are easily computed in accordance with changes in the
target idle speed NETRG, which facilitates the development of
programs for controlling fuel injection.

Abstract: A brake cable connecting apparatus is structured to prevent the
inadvertent disengagement of a cable end from the brake lever while
transporting of a drum brake without additional parts and damaging the cable
end and the brake lever. That is, the bridge portion 11e of the strut 11 extends
above the free end 12e of the brake lever 12 leaving a clearance 23, between
the bridge portion 11e and the free end 12e, smaller than a diameter of the
cable end 16a. Accordingly, even if the cable end 16a is about to be
disengaged from the cable end engagement recesses 12g of the free end 12e,
a further movement of the cable end 16a is prevented by cooperation between
the bridge portion 11e and the free end 12e. Accordingly, if the amount of
rotation of the brake shoe 12 is sufficient to fill clearances A1, A2 existing
between the brake shoes 13, 14 and the brake shoe engagement groove 11a,
12b, the clearance 23 is still smaller than the diameter of the cable end 16a.
While further rotation of the brake lever 12 spreads the brake shoes 13, 14
open to reduce and fill the shoe clearance A3, the clearance 23 becomes larger
than the diameter of the cable end 16a.
