  • Publication number: 20150378524
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for displaying a touchable user interface of a display device and displaying a user interface progress experience on the touchable user interface. In one aspect, available application space on the display device may be identified. An amount of available application space may be comparted with an amount of space required for one or more user interface elements. A visible display of the one or more user interface elements may be adjusted based on the amount of available application space compared to the amount of space required for the one or more user interface elements. In another aspect, an action command associated with the one or more user interface elements may be selected and performed. While the selected action command is being performed and when a threshold value has been met, the user interface progress experience may be displayed.

  • Patent number: 8468907
    Abstract: A shift arrangement for a motor vehicle transmission has a multiplicity of gear stages. The shift arrangement has a shift shaft which is aligned in an axial direction and has a multiplicity of shift members which are designed to engage on shift sleeves which can be displaced axially in order to shift the gear stages. The shift shaft is mounted so as to be rotatable in order to select in each case one of the shift sleeves and so as to be axially displaceable in order to shift the gear stages. The shift members have in each case one driver device for coupling to the shift shaft. The shift shaft has a coupling arrangement which is designed to engage, depending on the rotational position of the shift shaft, in each case with a driver device of one of the shift members in order to couple that shift member axially to the shift shaft.

  • Publication number: 20130111559
    Abstract: A security trimming system disclosed herein uses intelligent caching of the security trimming information received from a security datastore. The security trimming system uses an access cache to store the security trimming information received from the access datastore together with other parameters associated with such security trimming information. Subsequently, in responding to a request for the security trimming information, the security trimming system uses the cached value of the security trimming information together with the other associated parameters to determine a response to the request from the content providers. In one implementation, if the other parameters associated with a particular security trimming information imply that the security trimming information in the cache is still valid, the cached security trimming information is used in the request response. Otherwise, a new request is sent to the security datastore for an updated value of the security trimming information.
