Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are capable of lowering touch scan rates in a manner that conserves power resources without compromising performance or user experience thereby promoting battery life. Embodiments of the present invention perform touch scan operations using a touch sensitive panel at a first scan rate. In response to certain events automatically detected within the mobile device (e.g., when a full-screen video is being displayed), embodiments of the present invention may then perform touch scan operations at a second scan rate that is slower than the first scan rate that also consumes less power compared to the first scan rate. As such, for events or use cases in which limited user interaction with the touch sensitive panel is typical, embodiments of the present invention may lower touch scan rates in a manner that still enables users to interact with applications (e.g., interaction with playback controls during video playback) and promotes efficient power usage and extends battery life.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a non-electric pump. Gas pressure, typically steam or compressed air, is used to move a liquid, typically steam condensate, from a low pressure source to a high pressure destination. A tank fills with liquid from the source. Once full, the motive pressure is admitted to the tank and the pressure forces the liquid to the destination. When the tank is empty, the motive valve shuts and a vent valve opens to vent off the motive gas. A balanced trap plunger with an unattached float linkage provides for improved pump efficiency.

Abstract: A method and system for providing automatic execution of gray box trading strategies for electronic trading. A gray box trading entity is created from two or more real or synthetic trading entities including real or synthetic contracts or financial instruments. The gray box trading entity includes a black box portion (automatic trade execution) and a white box portion (manual trade execution). An electronic trader selects trades for black box and white box trades in the gray box trading entity. The trades can be dynamically changed. Selected trades for gray box trading entity are automatically traded with a black box trading entity on one or more electronic trading exchanges while a trader is prompted to manually execute selected other trades for the gray box trading entity with a white box trading entity.
