  • Publication number: 20140164992
    Abstract: Approaches are disclosed for maintaining spatial relationships (i.e., a layout) between a table object and other objects placed on a virtual canvas of an application work space. In certain implementations, offsets between the other objects and the table object are initially determined and are used to maintain the spatial relationships when the table object is resized. In certain implementations, the movement of the objects in response to a resize of the table object is dynamic from the user's perspective and can be easily undone.

  • Publication number: 20140157101
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the resizing of tables elements, such as rows or columns of a table. In one embodiment, a user selects two or more rows or columns to be resized and performs a column or row manipulation corresponding to the desired resize event, such as be interacting with an edge of one of the selected rows or columns. In an implementation, the user may toggle between the use of different resizing algorithms to see the effects of the different resizing algorithms.

  • Publication number: 20140059485
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing input to a computing device based on a toggle gesture performed during a drag gesture are provided. A drag gesture can be performed on a touch screen to manipulate a user interface object. For example, the drag gesture can move the user interface object or resize the user interface object. Such manipulation commands may have alternate modes or options. For example, a user may want to place a copy of the user interface object rather than simply moving it. Accordingly, a toggle gesture can be performed during the drag gesture to choose an alternate manipulation command. For example, a drag gesture can be performed to move an object, and a toggle gesture can be performed during the drag gesture to copy the object instead of moving it.

  • Publication number: 20130097551
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface detects a first user input that selects a first numerical value field and, in response, displays a value selection bar at a first length and with a range of values and displays a value selection object. The device detects a gesture on the value selection bar and, in response to, displays the value selection bar at a second length. While the value selection bar is displayed at the second length, the device detects a third user input that moves the value selection object within the value selection bar and, in response, enters a second value within the range of values into the first numerical value field based on a position of the value selection object on the value selection bar.

  • Publication number: 20120013540
    Abstract: Computing equipment may display tables of data that contain rows and columns. Touch gestures such as hold and flick gestures may be detected using a touch screen or other touch sensor. In response to a detected hold portion of a hold and flick gesture, a row or column in a table may be selected. In response to detection of a simultaneous flick portion, columns or rows may be inserted or deleted. A column may be inserted after a selected column using a hold and right downflick gesture. A hold and left downflick gesture may be used to insert a column before a selected column. Rows may be inserted before and after selected rows using hold and upper rightflick and hold and lower rightflick gestures. One or more columns or rows may be deleted using upflick or leftflick gestures.

  • Publication number: 20120013539
    Abstract: Computing equipment such as devices with touch screen displays and other touch sensitive equipment may be used to display tables of data to a user. The tables of data may contain rows and columns. Touch gestures such as tap and flick gestures may be detected using the touch screen or other touch sensor. In response to a detected tap such as a tap on a row or column header, the computing equipment may select and highlight a corresponding row or column in a displayed table. In response to a flick gesture in a particular direction, the computing equipment may move the selected row or column to a new position within the table. For example, if the user selects a particular column and supplies a right flick gestures, the selected column may be moved to the right edge of a body region in the table.

  • Publication number: 20110163968
    Abstract: An electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface, displays a table having a plurality of rows, a plurality of columns, and a plurality of cells. The device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface that includes movement of one or more of a first contact and a second contact. When the detected gesture is a pinch gesture at a location that corresponds to one or more respective columns in the table and has a component that is perpendicular to the one or more respective columns, the device decreases the width of the one or more respective columns. When the detected gesture is a de-pinch gesture at a location that corresponds to one or more respective columns in the table and has a component that is perpendicular to the one or more respective columns, the device increases the width of the one or more respective columns.

  • Patent number: 4741710
    Abstract: An electrical connector shell has a monolithic ceramic capacitor having active and ground electrodes for filtering contacts received in plated passages therethrough, and a grounding ring for grounding the contacts to the shell. A ceramic substrate is bonded to or extends integrally from a top face of the monolith, the substrate including a plated bore extending inwardly from its top surface, and a metal spring ring being disposed in the bore, each bore being axially aligned with one plated passage to complete an circuit path between the contact and the active electrodes and provided to eliminate stresses which could crack the fragile monolith. The grounding spring is characterized by a cylindrical metal annulus including angularly spaced foils at acute angles thereto, each foil being pivotably connected and completing a circuit path between the ground electrodes and the connector shell.

  • Patent number: 4275945
    Abstract: A filter connector is disclosed having a compound filter with two filter elements (20,22) connected in cascade in the filter contact (14). Separate ground plates (40,50) are provided for each of the filter elements (20,22). Each filter element, such as a pi section filter, is provided with an electrode arrangement which facilitates connection of filter elements in cascade and minimizes susceptibility to flash-over between electrodes. The filter element comprises a center conductor (74) with a dielectric sleeve (100) coaxially thereof. A ground electrode (80) is disposed on the external surface of the sleeve, one active electrode (78) extends from the internal surface to the external surface of the sleeve over one end surface thereof and another active electrode (82) extends from the internal surface to the external surface of the sleeve over the other end surface thereof.
