Abstract: Embodiments of methods of assisting user interaction with a touch-screen device are described. In some embodiments, the method comprises operating a touch-screen device under a responsive state, wherein a touch-screen of the touch-screen device is capable of receiving user input, displaying a first user interface having a first list of user selectable items, and receiving a user selection of an item of the first list of user selectable items. Additionally, embodiments automatically transition to and display a second user interface having an associated list of user selectable items corresponding to the selected item.

Abstract: The present invention provides a modular data storage system that can constraint movement of a data storage module within an enclosure during operation, handling, and transportation. The present invention achieves the objective by employing compliant features at strategic locations in the data storage system by utilizing shock/vibration isolators and the frictional forces generated by the compliant elements to introduce damping effects. In addition, this invention provides a locking mechanism that will allow the user to smoothly insert, remove and firmly grip a data storage module.
