  • Patent number: 11941191
    Abstract: Button functionalities for user interfaces, e.g., for use with a portable multifunction device, are disclosed. Exemplary button functionalities are described for an electronic device with a display, a rotatable and depressible input mechanism, and/or a button. Different device features may be accessed, depending on whether the rotatable and depressible input mechanism or the button is activated, and further depending on whether the activation represents a single press, a double press, or an extended press on the rotatable and depressible input mechanism or the button.

  • Publication number: 20230066329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pourable fruit filling having a water activity in the range of 0.78 to 0.90, said fruit filling containing 10-40 wt. % of fruit pieces dispersed in 60-90 wt. % of a continuous phase, said continuous aqueous containing 18-48 wt. % water, 7-21 wt. % of one or more polyols selected from glycerine, propylene glycol, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol and erythritol, and 30-60 wt. % of one or more sugars. The pourable fruit filling of the present invention may suitably be applied in the preparation of filled bakery products that exhibit surprising stability at room temperature. The invention further provides a filled bakery product comprising 10-60 wt. % of a pourable fruit filling according to the present invention and 40-90 wt. % of a casing of fully or partially cooked dough that encloses the pourable fruit filling.

  • Publication number: 20110173178
    Abstract: A web crawler system has an automatic website crawler and a virtual browser that provides script related information to the website crawler. The virtual browser transforms an HTML document included in a web page of the website into an XML document, and builds a document object model containing document objects in a tree structure based on the XML document. The virtual browser extracts from the DOM scripts that are potentially executable, and executes the extracted scripts using a browser object model provided for the virtual browser containing objects and methods and properties that are used for script execution so as to capture script related information generated by execution of the scripts.

  • Publication number: 20060159547
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention related to a system for providing advance notice of impending contact between a stationary component and a rotating component in a turbine engine. For example, the system can be used to warn of potential contact between a seal holder and a rotor disk in the compressor section of the engine. In one embodiment, a pad or other component can be provided on the stationary seal holder. If the seal holder and the rotor disk approach each other during operation, the pad can contact the rotor disk prior to actual contact between the seal holder and the rotor disk. An optical and/or an acoustic signal can be generated by such contact. The signals can be detected remotely from the point of contact by a signal detection device, thereby avoiding the need to pass wires through the compressor section.
