Abstract: A hydraulic actuation system, especially for actuating the clutch of a vehicle, containing a master cylinder unit, a slave cylinder unit, a hydraulic medium line connecting the two cylinder units and a throttle valve which is used to alter the flow resistance between the cylinders of the master cylinder unit and the slave cylinder unit.

Abstract: Described is technology allowing computer programs to participate in the copy and paste process at various times. A source program, from which data is requested to be copied to the clipboard, may participate as desired, including, for example, to cancel the copy, or to determine which data formats will be placed on the clipboard, including one or more custom data formats. A target program, to which data may be copied from the clipboard, may also participate as desired, including, for example, to cancel the paste, or to determine which data format will be pasted, which may be a custom data format. In one implementation, events provide notifications and APIs may be called to facilitate the communication.

Abstract: System, method and API for scrolling in a GUI. Scroll-able content to be displayed in a viewport can include information to control parameters used in scrolling. These parameters can include one or more of the following: the size of the viewport that can be scrolled; whether the content can be scrolled vertically and/or horizontally; the amount of un-rendered content (i.e., content not visible in the “scrollable” viewport) to be prepared for rendering (de-virtualized), etc. The system can include a first object to handle information regarding the content to be displayed in the “scrollable” viewport and a second object to handle user input of the GUI and provide it to the first object.

Abstract: Described is an information sharing method and mechanism used by a layout system to share information across related column and row user interface elements (corresponding to definitions). Definitions of a table or grid are grouped together with respect to sizing via a common group name. Scope values may be used to limit the grouping to selected subtrees of elements. When layout occurs, size sharing information is determined for the group-related definitions via a common size sharing object. Grouped definitions thus may be sized to the largest content to display of any one element. Elements corresponding to definitions may be manually sized by a user, or may be based on the size of a defined master element, such as the width of a header. The scope value of a group may be changed dynamically, such as by user interaction, which may cause groups to merge or split.

Abstract: Described is a layout system and process for user interface elements of computer programs. The layout system generally refers to a protocol and associated API that enables sizes and positions to be allotted, in which user interface elements are rendered. The layout system may be split between a core layout system and a framework layout system. The core provides minimal policy/rules that are imposed to allow flexibility for a given framework implementation. The framework adds support for user-specified sizing, positioning, margins, minimum sizes, maximum sizes and specific layout elements. Parent elements (e.g., containers) direct measure calls and arrange calls to child elements. The layout system essentially intercepts those calls and depending on policy may manipulate the properties of those calls for sizing, positioning, alignment and the like to ensure uniform and consistent layout results.

Abstract: An improved system and method for focus navigation behavior specification in a user interface is provided. To this end, an application may include declarations that may associate a focus navigation resource with a user interface object and a focus navigation behavior may be dynamically selected for changing the input focus in the user interface. A focus navigation engine may be provided for applying a number of focus navigation behaviors for moving input focus within and among logical groups of user interface objects. A visual representation of the user interface objects with the applied focus navigation behavior may be generated and a display representation may be rendered for presentation on a user interface display.

Abstract: A system and method for improved directional focus navigation in a user interface is provided. The directional focus navigation engine may receive directional input for changing the input focus of a user interface object in the user interface. A target candidate selector may select target candidates in a direction of travel among one or more user interface objects for receiving the input focus. A target candidate scorer may score the target candidates selected and the directional focus navigation engine may change the input focus to user interface object based upon the scoring. Scoring the target candidates may be biased when navigation continues in the same traversal direction for changing input focus.
