Abstract: A system and method for transferring information a data processing network. A client device suitable for connecting to the network includes a client application configured to receive information from the network and to present the received information to a user as audio information. The server is configured to provide information to the client data processing device responsive to the client request. The system is configured to determine when at least a portion of the information provided by the server is unsuitable for presentation by the client and to respond to the determination by storing the information for later access by the user, presenting a visually enhanced version of the information to the user, or providing portions of the information suitable for audio presentation to the user.

Abstract: If, when a valve lift adjustment is triggered in an inlet valve of an internal combustion engine, no valve lift adjustment actually takes place due to a defect in the adjustment mechanism, the air/fuel ratio (lambda) or even a different operating parameter for example the engine speed and torque changes in an unintended manner. By monitoring this operating parameter the operation control device can deduce a defect in the adjustment mechanism.

Abstract: A method, program, and apparatus for providing a description of current position in an electronic document are provided. The invention first comprises parsing the electronic document into a parse tree. When the system receives a command from the user requesting current position in the electronic document, an algorithm performs a walk up the parse tree, from the current position to the root of the document. A position response, containing nodes in the walk up the parse tree, is constructed by the algorithm and reported to the user.

Abstract: To avoid a sudden change in torque when switching over the valve lift of discretely adjustable inlet valves, the valve lift is firstly only adjusted for a section of cylinders, while the valve lift for the remaining section of cylinders is switched over after a delay. Therefore with each valve lift adjustment, only a slight change in torque has to be compensated by means of a corresponding change in the efficiency of the cylinders.

Abstract: A computer controlled display interface system is provided for accessing information interactively inaccessible through said display interface comprising means for storing a database model of the dynamic data content of said display interface, means for connecting said display interface to said stored database model, means in said database model for sensing predetermined displayed data content in said interface, and means responsive to said sensing means for providing said information to said interface. The information provided may come from a help library or from a database accessed through an Internet or World Wide Web Browser.

Abstract: A system, method, and program allow the execution of a different response of an application extension manager without modifying the default response of the application extension manager. The application extension manager resides in system memory. The application extension manager allows an execution unit to execute a task or a series of tasks in an ordered list associated with an event. A task is a set of executable instructions associated with an event that may be executed by the execution unit. When an event occurs, the application extension manager acquires the task on top of the ordered list. The acquired task then becomes selected to be executed by the execution unit. The selected task returns a value which indicates whether the application extension manager should proceed to the next task. If the value indicates to proceed to the next task, the next task becomes the selected task and the above stated process is repeated.

Abstract: The invention relates to the device for activating at least one person with at least one module (12) that can be perceptually controlled by the at least one person. According to the invention, the module (12) includes at least one means which can be used by the at least one person (48) to deactivate at least a part of the perceptual control of the at least one module (12) and/or deactivate the perceptual control of the at least one module (12) at least for a period of time.

Abstract: A data processing system and method providing for the sharing of inputs and outputs between a first assistive technology application and a second assistive technology application. An input/output manager in the first application is used to manage inputs to and outputs from the second application. An input method in the first application sends input to the second application. An output method in the first application receives output from the second application. A channel is formed between the input/output manager and the input and output methods to pass input and output that allows assistive technology applications to share user interface devices.

Abstract: Developers and users of object oriented programs who are modifying such programs with alternate access through the interactive display interface to data in such programs, which the user or developer requires, but is not normally accessible through the display interface to the object oriented program which the user is modifying, e.g. adding function to. A basic computer controlled display system for adding function to an object oriented program which has means for storing the object oriented program is provided in combination with means for getting normally accessible data from the program. There is a user interactive display interface for displaying this normally accessible data. In addition, there are means for adding displayable function to said object oriented program requiring the access of data from said object oriented program other than said normally accessible data, together with an accessing object for accessing said other data from said object oriented program.

Abstract: A data processing system and method provide an extension to an application that is programmable and is written in the native language of the application. During operation and execution of the data processing system and method, the application extension is loaded when an associated Java Virtual Machine is initialized.

Abstract: A door latch release mechanism has a housing adapted for mounting in a door jamb, a striker mounted on a shaft in the housing for pivotal movement between a door lock tongue engagement position and a door lock tongue release position, and a stop mounted in the housing. The stop has a portion capable of contacting the striker so as to latch the striker and prevent pivoting thereof from the door lock tongue engagement position. This portion of the stop is generally semi-circular in cross section. The stop is rotatable on its axis so that rotation of the stop to an effective extent releases the striker.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of finely divided polyolefin molding materials from 100 parts by weight of polyolefin and from 1 to 30 parts by weight of a conductive carbon black, with or without other additives, wherein the mixture of polyolefin powder and carbon black is compounded, in a first stage, until the crystallite melting point of the polyolefin is reached, and is then brought, in a second stage, to a temperature which is from 3.degree. to 40.degree.
