Title: Method and system for facilitating access to selectable elements on a graphical user interface
Inventor: NIELSEN JAKOB
IPC: G06F3/0489
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of selecting a selectable element
with a character input device from a list of lexically unordered selectable elements on a graphical
user interface (GUI). Typically, these selectable elements include hypertext links and GUI buttons
on the GUI of computer program executing on a computer system. Each selectable element includes
a character portion of data which facilitates selecting the selectable element. The method typically
begins the selection process when a user enters one or more characters from a character input device.
In response to receiving the characters, the present invention inserts each character into a match
string. The match string is then compared with the character portion of each selectable element on
the GUI. A selectable element is "armed" when the character portion of a selectable element is
found which matches the match string. Arming a selectable element prepares the element for
selection and typically involves highlighting, underlining or otherwise distinguishing the hypertext
link from other text on a page. The user can then select the armed selectable element by actuating
the "enter" key. If a hypertext selectable element is selected then the information associated with a
destination node (e.g., a web page) is displayed for the user. Instead of selecting the armed selectable
element, the user may search for a different selectable element by entering additional characters
and not actuating the "enter" key. The method disclosed provides an improved selection method
over prior methods because a user can quickly search and select a selectable element by typing a
minimum number of characters.

Abstract: A system for controlling an air/fuel ratio of an internal combustion
engine, including a feedback control loop having an adaptive controller (STR controller) that
receives as inputs a desired value r and a controlled variable y output from the plant (engine)
and an adaptation mechanism that estimates adaptive parameters. The STR controller
calculates a feedback correction coefficient KSTR, as an output u based upon at least the
adaptive parameters, for correcting a basic amount of fuel supply Tcyl(k) calculated by
retrieving mapped data, prepared beforehand, such that the controlled variable y converges to
the desired value r. The system is configured such that the controlled variable y is determined
based upon the detected air/fuel ratio KACT and a desired air/fuel ratio KCMD so that the
desired value r is a predetermined value. More specifically, the controlled variable is
determined to be a ratio between the detected air/fuel ratio and the desired air/fuel ratio such
that the desired value r is 1.0 or thereabout. With this arrangement, when the desired
air/fuel ratio is changed or corrected frequently, the estimation of the adaptive parameters is
not affected, thereby improving the stability of air/fuel ratio control. Also r may be 0.0 and y
may be KACT-KCMD or KCMD-KACT.

Abstract: A method is provided for forming silicide surfaces on source,
drain, and gate electrodes in active devices to decrease the resistance of
the electrode surfaces, without consuming the silicon of the electrodes in
the process. Silicide is directionally deposited on the electrodes so that a
greater thickness accumulates on electrode surfaces, and a lesser
thickness accumulates on the gate sidewall surfaces isolating the gate
from the source/drain electrodes. Then, the electrodes are isotropically
etched so that the lesser thickness on the sidewalls is removed, leaving at
least some thickness of silicide covering the electrodes. In further steps,
the electrodes are masked with photoresist, and any silicide deposited in
the region of field oxide around the electrodes is removed. Conductive
lines, connecting to the electrodes across the field oxide, are fabricated
from polycide, which includes a level of polysilicon covered with silicide,
when the lower resistance surface of a metal-disilicide overlying the
conductive line is required. The method of the present invention is
applicable to bulk silicon, as well as SIMOX, transistor fabrication
processes. An IC structure having different thicknesses of directionally
deposited silicide, and a completed MOS transistor having interim
thicknesses of directionally deposited silicide, are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hinge mechanism for a foldable device. The previously known devices of this type do not stay in the open position in the desired manner, but they either open too much or close too easily. The hinge mechanism according to the invention locks the device in the open position, from which it does not open further even by using more force. Closing takes place using little force, whereby the amount of the force required is easy to adjust by altering the shape of the hinge pins. The hinge pin is divided into two parts (10a, 10b). The first hinge pin (10a) is locked in axial transition to the first hinge lug (8a), and the second hinge pin (10b) is locked into the second lug (8b) correspondingly. One end surface of the hinge pin has ridges (12a, 12b), and the other end surface has corresponding slots (11a, 11b). In the open position of the device the ridges and slots are matching. The shape of the ridges and slots is such that the device cannot be opened beyond the open position and that a suitably small amount of force is required to close the device.

gratings (10a,10b) each have a plurality of repeating unit regions
repeated at respective periods, thus forming respective modulation
periods (Mf,Mr); in each of the repeating unit regions the length of the
single period varies in the direction in which light transmits,
continuously or at intervals, thereby varying the optical reflectivity
of the diffraction gratings (10a,10b) depending on its position in each

gratings reflect light having wavelengths (λ 1 ,λ 2 ,..

The application of voltages on said diffraction gratings enables coarse

Abstract: The elapsed time Ta(i) of a 30° crank angle near top
dead center of compression and the elapsed time Tb(i) of
a 30° crank angle near 90° after top dead center of
compression are found. The difference DTa(i) of the
elapsed times Ta(i) between 720° crank angle for a first
cylinder and a second cylinder performing combustion
after the first cylinder is found. The assumed elapsed
time when assuming that there is no torque fluctuation is
calculated from the difference DTa(i) of the elapsed time
of the first cylinder and the elapsed time of the second
cylinder is calculated and the assumed elapsed time is
used to calculate the basic amount of torque fluctuation.
A set value is found based on the engine speed. The set
value represents a deviation of the basic amount of
torque fluctuation due to the detection error of the
elapsed time, and due to the torsional vibration of the
engine drive system and the torsional vibration of the
crankshaft. The set value is subtracted from the basic
amount of torque fluctuation to calculate the amount of
torque fluctuation. The air-fuel ratio is controlled
based on the amount of torque fluctuation.
