Abstract: A system including a user interface that includes a processor in communication with a display and an input interface, the processor programmed to output on the display the user interface including a keyboard layout, wherein the keyboard layout includes at least a keyboard includes a collection of characters, in response to a first input from the input interface, output a first portion of the keyboard layout associated with a first subset of characters of the keyboard layout, wherein the first subset does not include all of the characters, in response to a second input from the input interface, select a second subset of characters, wherein the second subset of characters is from and include less characters than the first subset of characters and the second subset includes two or more characters, and output a character on a text field associated with the user interface based on the selection of the second subset.

Abstract: A navigation device includes a pressure sensor, a radio, a memory including program instructions, and a controller operably connected to the pressure sensor, the radio, and the memory and configured to execute the program instructions to (i) receive at least one signal from a reference beacon of a plurality of beacons, (ii) determine a reference relationship curve correction based upon the received at least one signal, and (iii) determine an altitude of the navigation device based upon the reference relationship curve correction, and a signal from the pressure sensor.

Abstract: A projector having at least one laser diode which is designed to emit light, having a laser control device which is designed to control the at least one laser diode, having a first controllable resonant mirror which is designed to reflect the light that is emitted by the laser diode, and having a control device which is designed to control the orientation of the first controllable resonant mirror. The control device is further designed to reduce the power supply to the laser diode and to the laser control device in a first configuration of a power-saving mode of the projector, and to further control the orientation of the first controllable resonant mirror at a resonant frequency of the first controllable resonant mirror. Moreover, a corresponding method is described.

Abstract: A data-storage device has a data-storage medium storing data as local deformations, and at least one read/write element including a supporting structure, which carries a local probe arranged facing the data-storage medium. The local probe is formed by a bipolar junction. The supporting structure is formed by a first and a second arms of semiconductor material, carried by a substrate and extending in cantilever fashion above a cavity made within the substrate.
