Title: A method and component for navigating hierarchical user interface represention
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-03-16
Abstract: A navigation manager component cooperable with a user interface renderer is described. The navigation manager manages one or more navigation units and maintains a navigation unit cursor. Each navigation unit is associated with another navigation unit managed by the same navigation manager. The navigation manager provides a range of navigation services, which operate upon the navigation unit cursor. These services include a service to navigate forwards and a service to navigate backwards. These services take into account the associations between navigation units in order to determine the correct sequence of navigation units for forwards and backwards navigation. The services also determine whether the items represented by each navigation unit include eligible items or items for which data entry is incomplete. In this way, navigation units for which all the items represented by the navigation unit are ineligible can be passed over by the navigation services, to that they never become current.

Title: Fabrication of a piezoelectric article
IPC: H01L41/39
Filed: 2001-06-20
Abstract: A recently-invented form of coiled piezoelectric actuator is one wherein a multiple-layer composite of piezoelectric material interleaved with activation electrodes is formed by extrusion in the shape of a ribbon and then curved around to form a heleix which is itself then bent, curved, wound or coiled to produce the desired double-wound object. The present invention relates to a different way of fabricating a coiled-coil device. Rather than starting from a tape of multilayer piezoelectric/electrode material, the invention proposes that there be made - conveniently by extrusion - a tube of piezoelectric/electrode material, and that this tube then be cut through in a helical fashion to produce the first stage of the desired helical article. And by constructing this tube on and around a plastically-flexible mandrel the combination of mandrel-borne thus-cut tube can then wound, or coiled, or otherwise curved/bent into the desired coiled-coil form.
