Abstract: Slider manipulation with precision alteration is described. In example implementations, a computing device increases a precision level of a slider to make selecting a specific value easier and more efficient. Initially, a user interface is displayed that includes a slider having a first precision level with a first granularity of values. The computing device detects a first user interaction that moves a marker indicative of a value along the slider. Based on a detection of a second user interaction, the computing device alters the slider to have a second precision level with a second granularity of values. Examples of second user interactions include a movement to some distance away from the slider or a change in speed of the movement. By making the second granularity lower than the first granularity, the slider having the second precision level is displayed with wider separation spaces between adjacent values.

Abstract: An electrically fired steam locomotive includes a first unit and a second unit interconnected to the first unit. A steam boiler is in the first unit, and has an economizer tank and a superheater. The economizer tank holds a predetermined water supply. An electric furnace is in the first unit proximate the steam boiler. The electric furnace provides heat to the steam boiler to produce steam. A direct current battery system is in the first unit located beneath the electric furnace. A water tank is in the second unit. The water tank is configured to supply water to the steam boiler. A boiler feed pump and a steam condenser are in the second unit. A steam driven generator is in the second unit. Steam that is superheated by the superheater provides power to move the locomotive and to cause the generator to generate electricity to energize the electric furnace.
