An electronic display that synchronizes presented content with its real world inputs. In particular, a method and apparatus for a graphical user interface (GUI) look-ahead window.

Unix system administration is carried out directly on the machine to be administered. This is done through a network login or via an attached console/terminal. Administration is done by the 'root' (superuser) id, with some activities delegated via Unix groups, and others via the optional Open Source program...

In today's environments resources can be requested and allocated during provisioning, and other functions, but these are done using a mostly static model. In existing models a resource contains a set of capabilities, e.g. 3GB RAM, 2GHz processor, etc. When a resource is requested a check is made to determine if...

This is a design paradigm for handling the display of large amounts of data in a table form in a web browser. The table provides a paging mechanism to keep the number of rows displayed at a reasonable number, a way to control which columns are shown and how they are sorted, and the ability to have different columns...

Described herein is an easily portable, self contained hydraulic output power pack including a pack with a fluid reservoir in the pack. A microhydraulic pump in the pack and in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. A solenoid operated valve is in the pack and is in operable communication with the pump, the...

a) the operative and preferred range of proportions of the ingredients of mixed or blended compositions, b) a list of equivalent materials (hdmologs, analogs, isomers, derivatives, etc.) proved to be within the scope of your invention, and c) a list of equivalent materials thought to be within the scope of your...

This article describes the idea of a downhole reaming device comprised of two motor sections connected that way that the lower internal rotor section drives the main hit and its housing contains steering mechanisms that allow the tool to be directed into a certain well path. The housing of the first power section is...

{This method provides a mechanism to oversee algorithm performance and resource levels and to adjust parameters that impact these to maximise overall network performance.}

This report presents an electrical connector assembly for a closeable portable telephone phone having a two part rotatable housing and variations of such structures. Electrical connection between the two housing parts is achieved by employing ball-bearing as means to conduct electrical signals. Some issues regarding...

A method of guaranteeing correct output for non-power-of-2-entry register files is disclosed. If a typical decoder is used to decode the addresses of these family of register files, it is likely that some address combinations will not decode to a physical address. The solution shown in this article efficiently...
