Abstract: A method for providing a dynamically adjusted search results interface includes determining a plurality of items from the electronic catalog that meet one or more relevance criteria in response to a search query. The method also includes transmitting instruction to the client device, the instructions causing the client device to display a search results page including a plurality of search results corresponding to the plurality of items. A primary search result of the plurality of search results is displayed in an expanded format and other search results of the plurality of search results are displayed in a minimized format. The method further includes detecting user navigation data with respect to the search results page, determining that the user navigation data meet one or more conditions for collapsing the primary search result from the expanded format to the minimized format, and automatically collapsing the primary search result from the expanded format to the minimized format.

Abstract: There is a method for selective translation of a desired protein. The method has the steps of (a) providing a modified nucleic acid enzyme, including two half cores of a minimized 9DB1 deoxyribozyme split between nucleotides 35 and 39, wherein each half core includes a pendant assembly arm of a strand of nucleic acids extending therefrom and a separate, pendant binding arm extending therefrom of a strand of nucleic acids; (b) binding a nucleic acid ligand to each of the two assembly arms to form an intermediate; (c) binding the intermediate to (i) a first substrate of ribonucleic acid sequences capped at one end, (ii) a second substrate of a strand of ribonucleic acids having a 5? triphosphate region at one end and a region of polyadenylated nucleotides at the other end and wherein the second substrate codes for the desired protein, (iii) join the two half cores to form a core in order to form a ligated product; and (d) allowing the translation for the desired protein to proceed from the ligated product.

Abstract: A digital image display device for displaying a sequence of digital media assets, the digital media assets including both individual digital still images and groups of related digital still images, comprising a display screen; a processor; and a processor-accessible program memory. The processor-accessible program memory stores executable instructions for causing the processor to execute the steps of: designating a sequence of digital media assets; and sequentially displaying each digital media asset in the sequence of digital media assets on the display screen, wherein if a displayed digital media asset is an individual digital still image it is displayed for a specified display time duration, and if a displayed digital media asset is a group of related digital still images the display time duration is subdivided and each of the digital still images in the group of related digital still images is displayed for a corresponding display time duration fraction.

Abstract: User interactions may be used to recognize a user's intent and provide a dynamic ingress bar (DIB) that carries forward relevant search information for the user. User interactions provide hints for the DIB to populate a collections area including items that have a common theme with the hint. The DIB is provided along with the user's selection so that the user can quickly recognize how their selection is associated with the collection and also continue navigating through a site without backtracking. As the user interacts with additional content, a new user intent may be determined to update the hint and repopulate the collections area based on the updated hint.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for volume interactions for connected playback devices. In an example implementation, a first playback device applies a state variable update associated with a group of playback devices comprising the first playback device and one or more second playback devices. The state variable update indicates a limited volume range associated with the first playback device. The first playback device renders audio content in synchrony with the one or more second playback devices. Rendering the audio content involves a subwoofer speaker of the first playback device rendering a bass frequency component of the audio content. The first playback device receives input data indicating a group volume adjustment for the group of playback devices and adjusting a playback volume of the first playback device based on the group volume adjustment and the limited volume range.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for volume interactions for connected playback devices. In one example, a playback device applies a state variable update associated with a playback device in a plurality of playback devices, the state variable update indicating a limited volume range associated with the playback device. The playback device receives data indicating a group volume adjustment for the plurality of playback devices. The playback device determines that applying the group volume adjustment to the playback device would not result in the playback volume of the playback device exceeding the volume limitation of the playback device. Based on the determination that applying the group volume adjustment to the playback device would not result in the playback volume of the playback device exceeding the volume limitation of the playback device, the playback device adjusts the playback volume of the playback device according to the group volume adjustment.
