Abstract: An electrical conduit body assembly is provided. The assembly includes a body portion, a cover, and a movable connection. The movable connection connects the body portion and the cover to one another so that the cover can be moved with respect to the body portion between an open state and a closed state in a manner that prevents the cover from being misplaced or disassociated from the body portion.

Abstract: An electrical fitting including a body having an inner cavity for receiving a plurality of conductors, the inner cavity including a first portion extending to a first exterior opening and a second portion extending to a second exterior opening, and a brush barrier positioned within the inner cavity between the first portion and the second portion, the brush barrier including an outer edge and a plurality of bristles extending inwardly from the outer edge, the bristles being displaceable by the conductors, wherein the electrical fitting is configured to receive a sealing compound within the first portion of the inner cavity between the first exterior opening of the first portion and the brush barrier, the sealing compound being at least partially prevented from propagating into the second portion of the inner cavity by the brush barrier.

Abstract: A system and method for focusing an image capture device are disclosed. One embodiment is a method comprising moving an autofocus window in response to detected movement of the image capture device.

Abstract: A camera includes a light transmitter configured to transmit light pulses at a first rate, a light receiver configured to receive return signals corresponding to the light pulses transmitted by the light transmitter, and a sampler configured to sample electrical signals corresponding to the return signals received by the light receiver, wherein the sampler is configured to sample the electrical signals at a second rate that is lower than the first rate.

Abstract: A user interface device adapted to access at least one data item stored in an electronic data storage device has at least one actuating region for actuating a switch, and a surface portion having a mark printed thereon in a predetermined positional relationship with the actuating region, the mark being associated with a respective data item. The interface device is connectable with the data storage device and adapted to access data stored on the data storage device and to initiate communication with at least one user access device, to transmit a data item to the user access device. A method of operating the interface device includes associating user-operable switch actuating regions of the interface device with data items stored in a data storage device.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a new and improved digital camera has a capture mode of operation where a scene to be captured can be captured and stored in a removable memory device as a digital still image and subsequently retrieved and displayed on a LCD in a review mode of operation. Alternatively, the scene to be captured can be captured repeatedly and buffered to the LCD where the buffering rate is determined in a live view capture mode of operation allowing a user to preview the scene to be captured in various ambient lighting conditions. In one instance, under low ambient lighting conditions a user is able to manually adjust the live view/preview apparent image brightness level of tie displayed scene independently of any LCD brightness or contrast adjustments.

Abstract: A digital camera is disclosed herein. An embodiment of the digital camera comprises a memory device and a switching device. Image data generated by the digital camera is storable in the memory device. The memory device further comprises memory locations that are partitionable into a plurality of directories. The switching device has a first state and a second state, wherein image data is storable in a first of the plurality of directories. Image data is storable in a second of the plurality of directories when the switch is toggled from the first state to the second state.

Abstract: A digital camera includes a LCD that has a back light whose intensity level is set at a point midway between a maximum intensity setting and a minimum intensity setting. The back light level is then adjusted automatically from this default setting to a brightness level that corresponds to a measured scene level. The back light intensity level and contrast level of the LCD then change automatically thereafter to correspond to the measured scene level whereby the LCD controls are adjusted according to the lighting environment.

Abstract: A photography system includes a digital camera and a remote control. The remote control emits a light that the photographer can use to designate a subject to be photographed by pointing the remote control at the subject, casting a light spot on the subject. In a preferred embodiment, the light is generated by a laser pointer included in the remote control. The camera selects a region to photograph from its field of view, based on the location or motion of the light spot. The camera may optionally select a region that is centered on the light spot. The photographer may optionally specify the size of the region to be selected. The camera may optionally adjust the size of the selected region to assist in photographic composition. The camera may optionally be capable of making video recordings.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and method for resuming a mode of display device operation. In one embodiment, a system and a method pertain to determining if a predetermined condition has been satisfied, and if the predetermined condition has been satisfied, automatically resuming output of an interrupted yet previously output signal to the display device.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for organizing email messages. In one embodiment, a system and a method pertain to detecting receipt of email messages, determining if the received email messages identify a recipient to which an original email message was transmitted by the user, and organizing responsive content from at least two independent received email messages in a consolidated file such that responsive content that pertains to a given email exchange is contained within a single file.
