Abstract: Apparatus for an alarm clock with one or more alarms that are challenging to deactivate are provided. The alarm clock is fixedly attached to a wall or other surface, and contains a power source such that the alarm cannot be deactivated by unplugging the alarm clock or by easily removing batteries. The alarm(s) may be programmed to activate for a first length of time. To deactivate the alarm, a user must take some action to interact with the alarm clock, for a second length of time, which second length of time is sufficient for the user to become fully awake. Aspects of the alarm clock may be digital or analog, may have manual or electronic or remote controls, may have one or more alarms of different types, and may require different types of user interaction with alarm deactivation components in order to deactivate the one or more alarms.

Abstract: Methods and systems for content consumption are described. One method comprises providing content to a first device, receiving a command to provide the content to a second device, determining the second device from a plurality of devices based on a proximity metric, and providing the content to the second device. The command can indicate a switch point, specify one or more non-transferable devices and block the direction of content transfer between certain devices.

Abstract: An animation system may allow users to create animations by accessing a matrix of possible animation images, in which images may be arranged to be adjacent to one another based on similarity, and allowing a user to select one or more images. The system may then determine an animation path through the matrix or group of images. A display system can retrieve and display images along the path to generate an animation.

Abstract: An adjusting fin for a watercraft consisting of a fin removably attached to a spindle that is held within a fin box. The spindle is rotatable within the fin box such that the fin can pivot with action of water against the fin as the watercraft moves through the water. Adjustable stops act against cams on the spindle to limit the range of rotation available, thus allowing the adjusting fin to be set up to suit the prevailing conditions and the expertise of the user. An optional biasing means biases the fin towards a neutral position which is perpendicular to an underside of the watercraft.
