Abstract: A magazine for loading projectiles into a launch assembly by gravity feed. The magazine has a plurality blades radially extending from a central axis and defining a like plurality of compartments in an axially rotatable ring. The ring rests upon a stationary deck plate having a hole for gravity feed of the projectile into the launch assembly below. Projectiles having different fight characteristics are deposited into the compartments at a safe location, supported by the deck plate and the launch assembly with an associated device are transported to a hostile environment. A first projectile is launched by the launch assembly in a longitudinal direction. The launch assembly is retracted, automatically indexing the rotatable ring and dropping the next projectile through the hole and into the launch assembly for subsequent launch.

Abstract: Device linking is described. In one or more implementations, data is maintained at a network service that describes characteristics of a plurality of devices that are associated with a user account of the network service. A communication is formed to be received by one of the plurality of devices that includes a portion of the data that pertains to another one of the plurality of devices and that is suitable by the receiving device to discover the other one of the plurality of devices to initiate a local network connection between the devices.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for printing onto a rotating media is described. According to one embodiment, the printing system includes a print head that is laterally displaced from a radial printing radius, a rotating mechanism to rotate the media, and a controller to print onto an annular print area. The annular print area is defined by an inner hub circumference, two lines substantially parallel to the radial printing radius and tangential to the inner hub circumference, and an outer edge of the media. The print head moves about the annular print area by one or more motion mechanism and prints images onto the media.

Abstract: Techniques involving a display size of representations in a user interface are described. In one or more implementations, a mobile communications device assigns a display size to representations of a plurality of content based on metadata associated with the content that indicates when the content was captured. The assigned display size of a first representation is larger than the assigned display size of a second representation. The first and second representations are displayed concurrently in a user interface on the mobile communications device as having respective assigned display sizes.

Abstract: A system and method for creating and/or rearranging musical content on a mobile device such as a cellphone or personal digital assistant (PDA), or on a computer for subsequent download and interactive playback on a mobile device. The method includes the creation and use of a digital music file, preferably consisting of MIDI sequence data, defining a musical composition having distinct musical parts, and the creation and use of a control file used in the rearrangement of the musical parts. The control file includes a plurality of control parameters for the musical composition, including which musical parts are active for each measure of the musical compositions. A user interface is included for allowing a user to alter one or more of the control parameters.

Abstract: A vehicle for performing an experiment demonstrating a Newtonian law of motion, including capturing data representing vehicle velocity over time during execution of an experiment, the vehicle comprises an interval timer for generating a time interval output representing equal intervals of time; a velocity indicating mechanism for generating a velocity output representing a velocity of the vehicle when traveling along a path during performance of the experiment; and a memory mechanism for recording the time interval output and the velocity output during performance of the experiment, the recorded time interval output and velocity output being recorded for use in at least one calculation demonstrating the Newtonian law of motion.

Abstract: A Method and Apparatus for Chemical Delivery Through the Brush used in semiconductor substrate cleaning processes. The chemical solutions are delivered to the core of a brush where the solution is absorbed by the brush and then applied by the brush onto the substrate. This delivery system applies the chemical solutions uniformly to the semiconductor substrate, reduces the volumes of chemical solutions used in a scrubbing process, and helps maintain control of the pH profile of a substrate. This system is described and illustrated in the manner it is used in conjunction with a scrubber that scrubs both sides of a semiconductor substrate.
