  • Publication number: 20090150427
    Abstract: A method for providing a uniform user interface experience across multiple content delivery applications comprises implementing a data structure configured for storing data related to user interface features for controlling display of content delivered to a display screen. At least a first user interface application and a second user interface application are, respectively, utilized in association with a first content source and a second content source. The data structure is populated by at least one of said first and second user interface applications, in response to user interaction with a user interface control device. The data stored in the data structure is processed to provide a user interface environment that is uniform across the first and second user interface applications.

  • Patent number: 6939044
    Abstract: A bearing assembly includes at least one and preferably two ball tracks each having a load-bearing portion, a return portion, and a turn-around portion, and a plurality of bearing balls, wherein the ball track is configured for the guided recirculation of the bearing balls. The bearing assembly includes a housing block with a channel at its distal end for receiving a movable shaft. The channel includes an elongated window aligned with each of the load-bearing portions of the tracks, the window allowing portions of the bearing balls to protrude therethrough to support the shaft. The bearing tracks define planes which can be oriented parallel to or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing block, or which together form an angled V-shaped configuration.

  • Publication number: 20020067868
    Abstract: A bearing assembly is disclosed that 410 includes at least one ball track having a load bearing portion, a return portion and a turnaround portion interconnecting the load bearing and return portions. A plurality of bearing balls are disposed in the ball tracks. At least a portion of the ball tracks are configured for unguided recirculation of the bearing balls. The bearing assembly may include a pair of ball tracks separated by a center rib. In an alternate embodiment, the bearing assembly includes at least one island disposed in at least a portion of the ball tracks. The islands facilitate recirculation of the bearing balls in the ball tracks. In another alternate embodiment, a bearing assembly is provided that includes a rail. A bearing carriage is configured to move along the rail. At least one ball track is disposed adjacent the rail and the bearing carriage. The ball tracks include a load bearing portion, a return portion and a turnaround portion interconnecting the load bearing and return portions.

  • Patent number: 6394336
    Abstract: An adjustable container includes top, bottom and four side panels. Each of the four side panels is scored along at least one longitudinal score line extending substantially parallel to the top and bottom panels. Two of the opposing side panels are scored along oblique score lines, each oblique score line extending from one corner of the side panel toward and intersecting the longitudinal score line. The height of the container is adjustable by folding the side panels inwardly toward the interior of the container along the longitudinal and oblique score lines.

  • Publication number: 20020056657
    Abstract: A packaging folder is provided comprising a plurality of panels bounding an internal space for accommodating an item or items. The dimensions of the internal space may be varied by selectively leaving in or removing one or more removable plug panels. The selective leaving in or removing of plug panels provides different internal compartment configurations for securing an item or items. The packaging folder may comprise a front cover and a back cover, foldable together like a book to surround the internal compartment or compartments. The back cover and front cover may be secured in the folded condition, for example by glue, such that the folder cannot be opened without tearing the folder. A spine of the packaging folder may be provided with a tear tape to facilitate opening of the folder.

  • Publication number: 20010047950
    Abstract: A box or packaging insert therefor is provided with a tensionable film. The film is tensioned by the action of tabs that swing 180 degrees, by the cinching action of cinching tabs, or by the downward folding of one or more side sections. One or more upwardly extending spacer flaps are provided, which may lock in place by the interaction of notches in the spacer flaps and extensions on the base panel.
