Abstract: A vehicle may have devices such as knobs, sliders, touch sensors, cameras, and other devices for gathering user input, capturing images, and gathering other information. Control circuitry in the vehicle may display an interactive route map on a display in the vehicle body. The route map may have a route line depicting a route between a starting point and an ending point for a journey. The control circuitry may move a vehicle icon in forward and reverse along the route line in response to the user input to select a vehicle icon location. The control circuitry may display media that corresponds to the selected vehicle icon location. The media may include an image captured by the camera, media retrieved from remote databases, and/or other content associated with the location of the vehicle icon.

Abstract: A first input to a mobile device indicates a first navigation destination at a first level of specificity. The mobile device initiates navigation towards a first location corresponding to the first navigation destination. While navigation towards the first location corresponding to the first navigation destination is ongoing and before reaching the first location, in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, the mobile device prompts for an input for determination a second location corresponding to a second navigation destination with a second level of specificity, the second level of specificity more specific than the first level of specificity. The mobile device receives a second input in response to the prompt. In accordance with a determination that the second input satisfies one or more second criteria, the mobile device initiates navigation towards the second location corresponding to the second navigation destination.

Abstract: Notifications for instructing user behavior can be determined and presented when appropriate. Current fitness data are accessed. This data is used to determine whether a user fitness goal is likely to be achieved. If not, a notification may be determined and presented at a user device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provides a user an interface for a file system. In one example, the method and apparatus displays the file as a visualized object, e.g., a graphical representation of the file as a real life object, receives selection of visualized objects and activates data elements represented by the visualized objects. The visualization of the file may be determined based on visualizer identification information associated with the file. For the activated data elements, the method and apparatus displays tool interfaces, in combination with the visualized objects. The tool interfaces may be selectively displayed for the activated data element base on tool identification information associated with a data type of the data element. Furthermore, the method and apparatus can process the activated data elements using the selected tool actions from different programs.

Abstract: A method and device are provided for retrieving system data needed for boot up and/or wake-up. A bus hub is provided that retrieves needed data prior to such data being requested by the processor. The bus hub then stores the data. When a request is received for the data from the processor, the bus hub responds by sending the stored data.

Abstract: Method and system for the integrated securing and managing of virtual machines and virtual appliances are presented. Sealing the virtual appliance at the computer of a sender, verifying authenticity of the sender at a recipient computer and managing the execution of the VA are performed in a seamless fashion.

Abstract: A method includes establishing a first link between a first processor device and a first memory module at a first time. A second link is established between a second processor device and a second memory module at a second time. In response to receiving a first event indicator, a third link is established between the first processor device and the second memory module at a third time, the third time after the first time and the second time.

Abstract: A method of booting a multi-processor data processing device includes establishing a link between a first processor and a memory. The link is monitored to determine if, in response to a request from the processor, expected initialization data is communicated between the memory and the first processor. If unexpected data is detected on the link, the link is severed and a new link established between a second processor and the memory to allow the second processor to initiate the boot process. This ensures that, in the event of an error in the boot process at the first processor, the device can complete the boot process, thereby reducing device downtime.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a lighted archery nock. The lighted archery nock generally includes an accelerometer, a replaceable battery, a light, a housing, and a microprocessor that controls illumination of the light. The microprocessor can control the timing of the light to save battery life and respond to user input transmitted by tapping the nock to re-set the light. The housing is configured with a plurality of fingers that interact with the replaceable battery to hold it in place.

Abstract: Various circuits for shifting the crossing point level of a pair of differential clocks signals are disclosed. In some embodiments, a differential clock driver provides a pair of differential clock signals to a device having a specified valid range for the crossing point of the differential clock signals. A level-shifting device is coupled to one or both of the differential clock signals to shift the crossing point to lie within the valid range. The device may be a memory device in some embodiments, and in certain embodiments the memory device may be DDR SDRAM. A method for configuring a computer system is also disclosed. An actual differential clock crossing point is compared to a specified range for the crossing point. If the actual crossing point is not within the specified range, a level-shifting device is coupled to one or both of the differential clock signals.
