Abstract: A user interface of simplifying selection of speaker volume level and power conservation level in a computer system. An icon is presented for setting the speaker volume which includes a bar graph of relative speaker volume. By depressing left or right arrow keys the graph moves and the volume level of the speaker is changed. By depressing the down arrow key when setting the volume level, the speaker is beeped to allow for a level check during the setting process. A series of icons are used to indicate and select power conservation level. Each icon includes a battery with a faucet attached to the side of the battery. Different water flow rates indicate the various conservation levels. A human figure is located adjacent the faucet to indicate the user-customerized conservation level.

Abstract: A high voltage, anti-corona connector defines similar interengaging structures of varying sizes which both retain the plug in the socket and provide substantially air-tight, anti-corona seals. The plug is a unitarily formed structure fabricated of a resilient dielectric material which defines an elongate contact receiving barrel having a plurality of spaced apart circumferential ribs of distinct sizes disposed on its outer surface. The socket includes a single contact disposed within a concentric aperture having at least one circumferential recess. One of the ribs of the plug seats within the socket recess and tightly retains the plug therein, the remaining ribs providing substantially air-tight seals to minimize arcing and corona discharge. Intimate seals between the face of the socket and a shoulder region of the plug adjacent the barrel as well as the end of the barrel and the internal end wall of the socket also contribute to the performance of the high voltage plug and socket of the present invention.
