The state of a button can be changed by commands associated with other buttons.

Abstract: On a computing device having a motion sensor interface, a first tap a first point is detected via the motion sensor interface. A second tap is detected via the motion sensor interface at a second point within a fixed time interval of detecting the first tap. In response to determining that the second point is inside a fixed radius of the first point, the first tap and the second tap are processed as an instance of a first gesture. Otherwise, in response to determining that the second point is outside the fixed radius of the first point, the first tap and the second tap are processed as an instance of a second gesture.

Abstract: Summary information is used to navigate a tree structure of hierarchically arranged levels of nodes. A user interface displays detailed information concerning the nodes of one or more levels, including the current focus. The interface also displays summary information concerning each level of the navigation path from the root level to the focus level. The user can navigate through the tree structure using the summary information. As the user navigates down into the tree structure, new summary information is displayed summarizing the nodes of each successively deeper level. As the user navigates from the current focus towards the root, the user interface is updated to remove displayed summary and detailed information for levels that are no longer part of the navigation path. The summary information can also be used to filter the detailed information displayed concerning nodes of a specific level, responsive to user specified filtering criteria.

Abstract: Systems, techniques, and methods are presented for creating digital note cards and presenting a graphical user interface for interacting with digital note cards. For example, content from an electronic book can be displayed in a graphical user interface. Input can be received in the graphical user interface highlighting a portion of the content and creating a note, the note including user generated content. A digital note card can be created where one side of the digital note card includes the highlighted text, and the other side of the digital note card includes the note. The digital note card can be displayed in the graphical user interface.

Abstract: A physical health application is accessible via a computer network. The application has a dynamic user interface with an interactive chart. The interactive chart displays a physical parameter over time. The interactive chart is adapted to set a physical progress goals.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure support techniques for training of synapses in biologically inspired networks. Only one device based on a memristor can be used as a synaptic connection between a pair of neurons. The training of synaptic weights can be achieved with a low current consumption. A proposed synapse training circuit may be shared by a plurality of incoming/outgoing connections, while only one digitally implemented pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator can be utilized per neuron circuit for generating synapse-training pulses. Only up to three phases of a slow clock can be used for both the neuron-to-neuron communications and synapse training. Some special control signals can be also generated for setting up synapse training events. By means of these signals, the synapse training circuit can be in a high-impedance state outside the training events, thus the synaptic resistance (i.e., the synaptic weight) is not affected outside the training process.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for providing and using user interfaces for search and select forms on mobile devices. According to one embodiment, providing a user interface of a search function for an application can comprise generating the user interface including a plurality of controls. Each control can be associated with a search criteria and can provide for a selection of one or more values for the associated search criteria. The user interface can be provided to a mobile device. An indication of a selection of one of the controls can then be received from the mobile device. The user interface can be updated based on the selected control being associated with either a single-select criteria or a multi-select criteria. One or more values for the search criteria associated with the selected control can then be received through the updated user interface.

Abstract: An enterprise management software system that provides a methodology for transient data storage, user action handling and dependent object creation process. When a dependent object is required to be added, the software system may remember the action without creating the dependent object. When a command is received to cancel the dependent object creation, the software system may work only on the transient data at a frontend and will not interact with backend. The dependent object may be instantiated when receiving a user command to save any entered data. Responsive to the user command, the software system may collect user input and trigger dependent object instantiation process at the backend.
