Publication number: 20070156723Abstract: The invention relates to a method and means for reinterpreting user input in a mobile device. In particular, the invention relates to a method and means for reinterpreting user input given during scrolling or browsing of data in a mobile device. Typically at very high scrolling speeds, or in motion guided devices, it is difficult for users to select data items from the data they scroll, as effects such as latency in reaction and hand eye coordination take effect. The invention features a method for associating a user selection with a data item while browsing data, comprising following steps: browsing history is stored, at least one data item is selected upon user input by a cursor and the data item or a group of data items selected by the user is determined based on the browsing history.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2006Publication date: July 5, 2007Applicant: Myorigo,S.a.r.L.Inventor: Johannes Vaananen

Publication number: 20070149754Abstract: The present invention relates to an aromatic polyester composition for making stretch blow molded containers with improved strain hardening. The polyester composition according to the invention exhibits a low DEG content, a natural stretch ratio of <10, a half time of crystallization of >150 sec at 200° C. and comprises a sulfo-modified copolymer. Compared to polyesters of the prior art, the polyester of the present invention exhibits superior stretching characteristics, such as a lower natural stretch ratio (NSR), which allows for production of small PET bottles via thinner and longer parisons. Such thinner and longer parisons improve the production of small containers due to shorter cooling cycles.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2004Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: INVISTA NORTH AMERICA S.A.R.L.Inventors: Uwe Bayer, Thomas Wehrmeister, Cor Jansen, Hilde Krikor, Steve Windelinckx
