Abstract: A control system for a vehicle situated device (1) includes a
shut-out arrangement (3) denying access to, or disabling an
adjustment feature (5) of the device (1) but permitting the device
to operate in a predetermined mode of operation when the
vehicle is in a first state of operation. The shut-out
means (3) is disabled or overridable when the vehicle is in
an alternate state of operation, thereby permitting the
respective adjustment feature (5) to be accessed or enabled.
The shut-out arrangement (3) is typically operated to deny
access to or disable the relevant adjustment feature (5) of
the vehicle situated device (1) when the vehicle engine is
running and/or when the vehicle is in motion. The
arrangement reduces driver distraction and thereby reduces
driver error and the risk of accident.

Abstract: A Web crawler system and method for quickly fetching and analyzing Web pages on the
World Wide Web includes a hash table stored in random access memory (RAM) and a
sequential Web information disk file. For every Web page known to the system, the Web
crawler system stores an entry in the sequential disk file as well as a smaller entry in the hash
table. The hash table entry includes a fingerprint value, a fetched flag that is set true only if
the corresponding Web page has been successfully fetched, and a file location indicator that
indicates where the corresponding entry is stored in the sequential disk file. Each sequential
disk file entry includes the URL of a corresponding Web page, plus fetch status information
concerning that Web page. All accesses to the Web information disk file are made
sequentially via an input buffer such that a large number of entries from the sequential disk
file are moved into the input buffer as single I/O operation. The sequential disk file is then
accessed from the input buffer. Similarly, all new entries to be added to the sequential file are
stored in an append buffer, and the contents of the append buffer are added to the end of the
sequential whenever the append buffer is filled. In this way random access to the Web
information disk file is eliminated, and latency caused by disk access limitations is
minimized.
