Abstract: A user interface for an electronic device incorporating a touch sensitive display forms a touch input zone on a portion of the display. The touch input zone is split into two sections separated by an origin axis. The origin axis may be fixed or may be determined by an initial touch by a user in the touch zone. The device detects a touch by the user in the touch zone and changes a controllable variable or a pointer to an item within a scrollable list of data elements based on the location of the detected touch relative to the origin axis, where the rate of change is determined by the distance from the touch location to the origin axis and the direction of change is determined by the section in which the touch is detected.

Abstract: A metal plate is mounted on the engine head in electrical conductive relation. An electrode test unit is mounted on the metal plate, having a pair of electrodes forming a spark gap, one contacting the plate and the others adapted for securement thereto of the spark plug wire. Each spark plug can be removed individually from the engine and mounted in the plate in electrical conductivity therewith. The spark wire can then be selectively secured to the electrode unit or the spark plug, and the operator's hands are free to turn the engine. The plate is left mounted on the engine permanently.

Abstract: A housing is mounted interiorly of a door frame member and houses first and second switch members which move simultaneously in response to entry of a lock bolt end into a strike plate opening. A switch on the housing is in circuit with an indicating unit having illuminated door open and door locked signals and a power source. The first and second switch members are in sliding contact with one another and are displaced laterally away from the lock bolt as it moves to a door locking position. A projection on the first switch member is normally disposed in the strike plate opener.
