US Patent:

6404587, Jun 11, 2002

Filed:

Jan 11, 1996

Appl. No.:

08/584118

Inventors:

Yi-Shung Chaug - Boulder CO
Thomas A. Carroll - Minnetonka MN
Mark Snyder - Broomfield CO

Assignee:

Storage Technology Corporation - Louisville CO

International Classification:

G11B 523

US Classification:

360119, 360121

Abstract:

The tape head of the present invention has a substrate and a closure separated by a gap. The tape head is of the type having a flat closure module. The gap layers disposed in the gap include a recording track layer and a patterned gap layer. The recording track layer has a nonplanar topography along said gap that is defined by at least one of a read track and a write track. The patterned gap layer is disposed over substantially an entire surface of the gap side surface of the closure. The patterned gap layer is etched so as to selectively define a topography along said gap that inversely corresponds to the nonplanar topography of the recording track layer. As a result, the patterned gap layer fills any localized air space that would otherwise exist in the gap due to the nonplanar topography of the recording track layer. By filling the localized air space in the gap, microchipping is reduced and/or eliminated in the tape head of the present invention.

Appl. No.:

11/366863

Jon P. Radloff - Castle Rock CO, US
Thomas J. Carroll - Bensalem PA, US
Mark Heyner - Golden CO, US

Assignee:

Rovi Guides, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715721, 715716, 715719, 715720, 715772, 715833, 715974, 369 3008, 725 37

Abstract:

Systems and method are provided for providing a playlist transport bar. The playlist transport bar provides an overlay which graphically represents assets (e. g. , programs) of a playlist in a manner that enables a user to simultaneously ascertain a playback position within the playlist and a particular asset. The playlist transport may include asset regions which each correspond to an asset in a playlist and a position indication region which may provide information relating to a playback position.

US Patent:

20020085020, Jul 4, 2002

Filed:

Sep 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/953050

Inventors:

Thomas Carroll - Denver CO, US

International Classification:

G06F003/00

US Classification:

345/700000, 717/100000

Abstract:

The invention as disclosed herein relates to a system and a method for creating user interfaces for software applications. Particularly, the invention allows a developer to segregate the development of the user interface from the development of the underlying application logic. In one embodiment of the invention, an applications graphical user interface is specified using an XML document as an application interface file. At application compile time this application interface file is parsed, and the specifications therein used to retrieve graphical screen components from an interface library to create the user interface. A grammar file can be used to further specify the parsing of the application interface file, and impose consistency upon the interface development process.
