Abstract: The present application discloses a scrollable list that uses headings for easy navigation in the list. In one embodiment, at least one heading is persistently visible on the user interface so that if a user clicks on the persistent heading, a separate window displaying headings is automatically opened. The user can then click on any of the headings to jump in the list to that heading. In another aspect, if the list is below a predetermined number of entries, the headings are automatically eliminated altogether to facilitate visibility of the list.

Abstract: Efficient, updatable national language support for a mobile device is provided. NLS file segments are provided in a wrapper in the Virtual NLS file. Segments may be organized by language family. The number of segments that need to be searched is also minimized. At any point, any of the pointers for the dynamically updatable query table can be shifted around to improve performance. Existing APIs may be used for obtaining locale information by causing the APIs to iterate through all the known NLS segments in a specified search order.

Abstract: A method for preparing a manufacturing plan for a manufacturing factory having multiple equipments and charged with multiple processes. The equipment is assigned to the processes to determine an operation pattern for a day. A load of each process is allotted among the equipment assigned to the process. Total load of each equipment is calculated by summing the allotted load. A capability index of each equipment is determined by dividing capacity of the equipment by the total load of the equipment. The capability index is multiplied by the allotted load to provide a feasible load of the equipment for the process. By summing the feasible load of each equipment, a total feasible load under the operation pattern is calculated for each process. By comparing the total feasible load with the load for each process, the operation pattern is determined whether acceptable or not.

Abstract: A method for preparing a manufacturing plan for a manufacturing factory having a plurality of equipments and charged with a plurality of processes. The equipment is assigned to the processes to determine an operation pattern for the day. Load of each process is allotted among the equipment assigned to the process. Total load of each equipment is calculated by summing up the allotted load. A capability index of each equipment is determined by dividing capacity of the equipment by the total load of the equipment. The capability index is multiplied with the allotted load to provide a feasible load of the equipment for the process. By summing up the feasible load of each equipment, a total feasible load under the above operation pattern is calculated for each process. By comparing the total feasible load with the load for each process, the operation pattern is determined whether acceptable or not.
