Filed:

Sep 7, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/935363

Inventors:

Michael S. Stern - Maple Grove MN, US

Assignee:

Sauer-Danfoss Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

G01D 11/28

US Classification:

362 30, 362631

Abstract:

A backlighting display assembly for an LCD that utilizes a plurality of LEDs that are in spaced relation adjacent to the LCD such that the LEDs do not directly light the LCD and instead a reflective material such as a potted material is placed in parallel spaced alignment from the LCD and LEDs such that light is reflected off of the reflected surface to illuminate the interior LCD and open target areas of the circuit board of the assembly thus providing proper lighting for the LCD, transparent and semi-transparent areas of the graphic overlay of the control panel.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715765

Abstract:

The present technology includes a digital content authoring tool for authoring digital content without the need to understand or access computer code. The present technology further includes creating digital content that can be modified with animation of assets. Each animation can be controlled by an action, and the actions can be tied to a time axis for execution. By relating actions to a time axis, animations based on the actions can be more easily viewed and reviewed. In some embodiments, the system can clear a page of all but a selected asset so that it may be more easily worked with.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715762

Abstract:

A method of defining a dynamically adjustable user interface (“UI”) of a device is described. The method defines multiple UI elements for the UI, where each UI element includes multiple pixels. The method defines a display adjustment tool for receiving a single display adjustment parameter and in response adjusting the appearance of the UI by differentiating display adjustments to a first set of saturated pixels from the display adjustments to a second set of non-saturated pixels.

G06F 3/0484
G06F 3/0482

US Classification:

715725, 715723

Abstract:

Some embodiments provide a media editing application. The application places several committed media clips in a composite display area to specify a description of a composite presentation. In response to receiving a request to create a new version for a first media clip placed at a particular location in the composite display area, the application creates an audition set at the particular location in the composite display area. The application creates a second media clip from the first media clip. The application adds the first and second media clips to the audition set. At least one of the first and second media clips is a candidate media clip that is insertable at the location in the composite display area but is not a media clip that has been committed for inclusion in the description of the composite presentation.

International Classification:

G06F 9/54
G06F 3/0484
G06F 16/48
G06F 16/44

Abstract:

In some implementations, a user device may access a media presentation that includes metadata describing related content item(s). The user device viewing the media presentation is allowed to access content related to portions of the media presentation at times appropriate for the particular related content item(s). The related content item(s) may be provided automatically or based on user input triggering download or copying of a particular related content item, such as to a clipboard of the user device. A computing device may generate a media presentation that includes related content item(s) as metadata in some implementations. The media presentation may be generated by recording a live presentation, assembling one or more media portions, and/or obtaining a complete media presentation and modifying the media presentation to add the related content item(s) and when, while presenting the media presentation on a user device, to allow access to the related content item(s).

Abstract:

Presenting shortcuts to provide computer software commands. A user interface associated with a computer software application, which includes multiple portions, is displayed. Each portion is associated with a command to perform an operation of the application in response to the command. In response to a selection of a particular portion of the user interface, another user interface is displayed. In the other user interface, a name of a particular command and a keyboard shortcut key selectable to perform an operation in response to the particular command are displayed. Additionally, a virtual keyboard that includes multiple alphanumeric keys, including the keyboard shortcut key, is displayed in the other user interface. The keyboard shortcut key is displayed on the virtual keyboard to be visually distinct from remaining alphanumeric keys on the virtual keyboard.

Assignee:

APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

H04N 9/79

US Classification:

386280

Abstract:

A novel method for creating multimedia presentations in a media editing application is provided. The method selects a portion of a media clip and retimes the selected portion of the media clip from a first playback speed to a second playback speed. The method defines a transition interval for a discontinuity between a first section of the media clip with the first playback speed and a second section of the media clip with the second playback speed. The media clip is played back according to a smoothed curve that is constrained by the transition interval, the first playback speed, and the second playback speed. The smoothed curve transitions gradually from the first playback speed at the start of the transition interval to the second playback speed at the end of the transition interval.
