  • Publication number: 20150169504
    Abstract: A layer based reorganization of document components through a display application. Layers of a document are determined from content of the document which is partitioned based on a paragraph, a sentence, a line, a word, an image, and a similar section. In response to a detection of a user action to select and move one of the layers, non-selected layers from the layers are moved away from the selected layer while moving the selected layer in a direction of the user action during the user action. The selected layer is moved in a place of an adjacent layer from the non-selected layers that is in the direction of the user action.

  • Publication number: 20150159938
    Abstract: A portable sound system produces high quality, water proof sound on a single charge for about 20 hours at full volume or for about 60 hours at ambient volume levels. The portable sound system also includes a cooler portion having the ability to cool about 50 or more cans of one's favorite beverage. The sound system cooler provides superior battery life with compact componentry and allows a user to use a multitude of music source options. The sound system cooler also includes one or more power ports for charging mobile electronic devices, even while being used as a sound system and cooler.

  • Patent number: 8177246
    Abstract: Axle seats are disclosed for incorporation into vehicle suspensions of the type having a laterally extending axle and a longitudinally extending leaf spring. The axle seat includes a seat portion, a clamp group mounting surface, and an air spring mounting flange. A sidewall of the axle seat connects the seat portion to the clamp group mounting surface and the air spring mounting flange. The clamp group mounting surface and air spring mounting flange are configured to be positioned at different heights when the seat portion is connected to an axle. A second sidewall and air spring mounting flange may be provided, in which case the air spring mounting flanges may be spaced apart to provide an area through which a leaf spring may extend.

  • Patent number: 6636228
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for ensuring adequate contrast between colors used for graphical user interface elements. Pairs of colors for use in a given pair of graphical user interface elements are compared to determine whether a minimum required contrast exists between the colors. If a determination is made that the contrast between a given pair of colors is less than the minimum required contrast, one of the colors is designated as locked and the other color is designated as moveable. The moveable color is moved toward white or black to increase the relative brightness intensity and thereby increase the contrast between the moveable color and the locked color. Once the required minimum contrast is met or exceeded, the color pairing may be used for rendering a given graphical user interface element.
