Abstract: Methods and a computing device are disclosed. A computing device may aggregate a number of inputs indicative of a presence or an absence of a human being within a proximity of the computing device. A source of at least one of the inputs may be a human presence sensor. A source of other inputs may provide an indication of the presence of a human being with corresponding estimated probabilities or corresponding estimated reliabilities which may provide an estimate of an accuracy of respective indications. In some embodiments, if any of the number of inputs indicate the presence of a human being, the computing device may determine that a human being is present. In other embodiments, if a corresponding estimated probability or reliability of an input is less than a predetermined value, then the input may be discarded when determining whether a human being is present.

Abstract: A crash stop for an actuator arm of a hard disk drive includes a support body having a cylindrical form and a central axis; and a cantilever element joined at a proximal portion to the support body and having a distal portion spaced apart from the support body to allow for deflection of the distal portion of the cantilever element or the support body relative to the other.

Abstract: System and process for handling clips with annotations. A user annotates a document that is displayed in an access session. Information is gathered regarding the annotation, which is associated with active content included in the document. The annotation is stored with a static image of the active content. A link to the content is stored. An image is rendered that has a clip including the stored annotation and the image of the content, and is displayed.

Abstract: A system and process for handling clips with annotations is provided. A user annotates a document. The system gathers context information regarding the clip and displays the clip or clips with annotations to the user. A system for showing clips of content and annotations may include an input for receiving content and annotations, a processor creating a renderable image having the clips with at least one of the clips being a combination of two or more annotations, and an output for outputting the renderable image. A method of displaying clips may include receiving at least two sets of an annotation and related content, filtering the received, combining the filtered output, and displaying a combination of the filtered output.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transferring heat according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with a heat source on a substrate. In one embodiment, a lid is adapted to engage the substrate. The lid may comprise a thermally conductive rigid body and one or more hardstops configured to limit a bond line distance between the rigid body and the heat source. A thermal interface material may be disposed in the bond line between the heat source and the lid. The thermal interface material may be adapted to provide a thermally conductive adhesive bond between the lid and the heat source.

Abstract: Graphical user interfaces for computer display devices include a page bar control element that allows a user to easily and quickly navigate among the pages of a multiple page electronic document and/or among the pages of a plurality of electronic documents. In some examples, the page bar control element displayed on the computer system provides a visual representation of a multiple pages of the document(s), wherein the visual representation includes several tabs or markers, each marker representing one or more pages of the document(s). In some examples, the markers are rendered in colors that enable quick identification of the current page and/or the page being viewed as well as pages viewed in a riffling action. The page bar control element also may include a visual “flag” that helps users quickly locate text that they have previously flagged or that the system has automatically flagged for them.

Abstract: Described is a method and system a system and method for dynamically and intelligently configuring a computer system's video-related settings upon connection of a monitor, and/or reconfiguring upon disconnection. A monitor configuration may include one or more display mechanisms, their video settings, relative positioning, and may include power scheme data. When a monitor is plugged into or unplugged from a computer system, a monitor manager component is notified and determines the current configuration, such as based on monitor identifiers. The current configuration is searched against persisted monitor configurations seeking a match. If previous monitor configuration data is found, the previous monitor configuration is applied. If not an exact match, configuration data is constructed based on similar configuration data that is persisted, or by querying for capabilities and iterating as necessary to find a video mode that the video card and monitor can use.

Abstract: A system and process for handling clips with annotations is described. A user annotates a document. The system gathers context information regarding the clip and displays the clip or clips with annotations to the user.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for making rich, flexible, and more natural electronic ink annotations in an electronic document include creating a first context node associated with a first portion of a base portion of an electronic document; creating a second context node associated with an annotation to the base portion; and linking the second context node with the first context node.
