US Patent:

7348973, Mar 25, 2008

Filed:

May 17, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/848241

Inventors:

Jonathan D. Gibbs - San Carlos CA, US
David A. Hart - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Pacific Data Images LLC - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

G06T 15/00

US Classification:

345419

Abstract:

The present invention models hairs by generating hairs by interpolation and then further modifying the interpolated hairs to form clumps. The modified hairs can be iteratively reprocessed to generate more hairs and thereby produce a greater level of detail in the resulting hairstyle. The invention can be used to model any tubular structures protruding from a surface, such as strands of fur protruding from an animal's skin and blades of grass or stems of plants protruding from the ground.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715747, 715769, 715770, 715778

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. A method includes receiving, a first user input requesting that a backup interface be displayed, displaying the backup interface, the backup interface including a display area for presenting at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of a current view and a visual representation of the current view, the earlier version including a first element, receiving, while the backup interface is displayed, a second user input requesting that the current view be modified according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element, animating the modification of the first element as moving from the visual representation of the earlier version to the visual representation of the current view, and modifying, in response to the second user input, the current view according to the earlier version, at least with regard to the first element.

International Classification:

H01L 29/66

US Classification:

257263, 257302, 257328, 257E29262

Abstract:

Semiconductor devices are described that include a dual-gate configuration. In one or more implementations, the semiconductor devices include a substrate having a first surface and a second surface. The substrate includes a first and a second body region formed proximal to the first surface. Moreover, each body region includes a source region formed therein. The substrate further includes a drain region formed proximal to the second surface and an epitaxial region that is configured to function as a drift region between the drain region and the source regions. A dual-gate is formed over the first surface of the substrate. The dual-gate includes a first gate region and a second gate region that define a gap there between to reduce the gate to drain capacitance. A conductive layer may be formed over the first gate region and the second gate region to lower the effective resistance of the dual-gate.

US Classification:

711162, 711E12103

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. In some implementations, a method is provided. The method includes detecting a remote storage device, prompting the user to use the detected remote storage device for backup operations, receiving a user input to use the detected remote storage device for backup operations, and automatically configuring backup operations using the remote storage device. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, computer program products, and computer readable media.

Assignee:

APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06T 13/00

US Classification:

345473

Abstract:

User interface changes and file system operations related to grouping items in a destination folder are disclosed. A user can group multiple items displayed on a user interface into a destination folder using an input command. An animation can be presented in the user interface illustrating the creation of the destination folder and the movement of each selected item into the newly created folder. The movement of each selected item can be along a respective path starting from an initial location on the user interface and terminating at the destination folder, and initiation of the movement of each selected item can be asynchronous with respect to the other selected items. Implementations showing the animations in various types of user interfaces are also disclosed.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707706, 707722, 707E17108

Abstract:

Information items in a file system are arranged into groups that are created according to a grouping component. A non-hierarchical view displays visual representations (e.g., icons, thumbnail images) of the information items arranged in visually delineated groups according to an arrange type that can be specified for each group. Various view formats are available including icon, list and column view formats. In each view format, a condensed mode can be selected for one or more groups, resulting in multiple visual representations of items being displayed in a fixed amount of screen space in the non-hierarchical view. In icon view, each condensed group includes a single row of visual representations that can be navigated separately from other groups in the non-hierarchical view.
