  • Publication number: 20210117937
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments providing a data sorting and rating system. An embodiment operates by detecting a user modification of a particular value of a sorted plurality of values of a column displayed in a visual interface including a sorting visual indicator indicating that the plurality of values are sorted. It is determined that the values are no longer sorted after the user modification. The sorting visual indicator is replaced with a refresh visual indicator based on the determination that the plurality of values are no longer sorted. The values including the user modification are re-sorted based on a selection of the refresh visual indicator. The re-sorted plurality of values including the user modification of the particular value are provided for display in the visual interface.

  • Patent number: 10353658
    Abstract: Devices and methods in a configurable human machine interface (HMI) for multiple vehicle display devices are disclosed. An example of the method includes, in the HMI control unit for a plurality of vehicular display devices, receiving action input data from a configurable application input module in a first operational mode. In the first operational mode a first vehicular display device operates as a master vehicular display device relative to a second vehicular display device. The second vehicular display device is mirrored to the first vehicular display device. When action input data indicates a transition from the first operational mode to a second operational mode, the method continues by generating a control message based on the action input data.

  • Patent number: 9873385
    Abstract: A bicycle mounting adapter for installing a bicycle to a mounting includes a frame and two holding tubes. The frame has a transverse member and two lateral members. The two second segments are separated by a distance greater than a distance between the two first segments. The first segment has a fixing hole. The second segment has a notch. The holding tube has an embedded segment, a propping segment, and a shoulder located between the embedded segment and the propping segment. The embedded segments are inserted into the respective fixing holes and thus fix the holding tubes to the lateral members. The two holding tubes have major axes thereof aligned with each other. The propping segments each have a terminal surface defined as a pressing surface. The pressing surfaces of the holding tubes work with a quick-release assembly to hold a fork of the bicycle.
