  • Publication number: 20110050591
    Abstract: A user interface for a touch-screen display of a dedicated handheld electronic book reader device is described. The user interface detects human gestures manifest as pressure being applied by a finger or stylus to regions on the touch-screen display. In one implementation, the touch-screen user interface enables a user to turn one or more pages in response to applying a force or pressure to the touch-screen display. In another implementation, the touch-screen user interface is configured to bookmark a page temporarily by applying a pressure to the display, then allowing a user to turn pages to a new page, but reverting back to a previously-displayed page when the pressure is removed. In another implementation, the touch-screen user interface identifies and filters electronic books based on book size and/or a time available to read a book. In another implementation, the touch-screen user interface converts text to speech in response to a user touching the touch-screen display.

  • Patent number: 7757753
    Abstract: Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems and heat exchangers are provided which include dissimilar internal configurations. The heat exchangers include multiple sets of multichannel tubes in fluid communication with each other. One set of multichannel tubes contains flow channels of one shape and size while the another set of multichannel tubes contains flow channels of a different shape and/or size. The dissimilar flow channels within the multichannel tube sets allow each set of tubes to be configured to the properties of the refrigerant flowing within the tubes.

  • Patent number: 5245131
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cabinet for containing and holding telecommunications apparatus coupled to telephone field cables. The cabinet includes a cabinet housing, at least one cable entrance port through the cabinet housing to allow cables to enter the cabinet and a cable entrance seal positionable around the cable and securable to the cabinet housing for sealing all openings between the cable and periphery of the cable entrance port. In particular, the cable entrance seal is a rigid collar capable of supporting a moisture-blocking material snugly around the cable positioned therein and is attachable to the cabinet by a twist and lock securing means. Furthermore, the rigid collar may be bifurcated into two sections to facilitate positioning of the collar around a cable when the cable has no free-ends available for the collar to be slid over.
