Abstract: A battery includes integrated circuitry. The battery may include, for example, a substrate with a battery cell including an anode and a cathode. One or more electrical devices may be integrated on or within the substrate and configured to receive power from the anode and cathode. A package containing the substrate and the one or more electrical devices may include a first battery terminal electrically coupled to the anode and a second battery terminal electrically coupled to the cathode. The one or more electrical devices may include sensing circuitry to generate sensor data, and communication circuitry to provide the sensor data external to the package.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and other techniques for a wearable navigation device are described. For example, an apparatus may comprise a wristband comprising a plurality of haptic feedback devices arranged around a circumference of the wristband and logic to wirelessly receive navigation information from a computing device and to output the navigation information using one or more of the plurality of haptic feedback devices, the output comprising a mechanical representation of the navigation information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, no shutter or button needs to be operated in order to select a frame or group of frames for image capture in “buttonless frame selection”, as used herein. This frees the user from having to operate the camera to select frames of interest. In addition, it reduces the amount of skill needed in order to time the operation of a button to capture exactly that frame or group of frames that are really of interest.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described to coordinate the servicing of multiple network interfaces.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a network interface card or the like for a wireless local area network may include a non-volatile memory in which a table of parameters for operation in one or several countries may be stored. The table may specify how the network interface card is to perform in multiple countries or regulatory domains so that the network interface card may adapt to operate in multiple countries, thereby allowing a network interface card manufacturer or vendor to use a single stock keeping unit for the network interface card in one or more countries.

Abstract: A software program and method to coordinate with hardware which is capable of dynamic speed switching is used to reset timing (bus and processor clock) sensitive elements such that machine speed (bus and processor clock frequencies) can be changed dynamically without interruption of I/O services or general OS and application level functions. This includes storing timing parameters for different system operating speeds. These timing parameters can be stored, then loaded into low level memory in coordination with certain service and speed changes to effect a smooth speed transition within a minimal number of clock cycles. In a preferred form, this includes examining the hardware configuration at system startup and determining timing parameters for the specific hardware installed in the system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for linking GUI sliders displayed on a computer screen. A master slider and a slave slider are displayed, each including a knob and a guide. The master knob can be moved along the master guide in response to input from a user, such as with a pointing device. The movement of the slave knob of the slave slider is influenced along the slave guide based on the position and/or movement of the master knob. The slave slider can preferably be in a full slave mode or in a partial slave mode. In full slave mode, the slave knob tracks the movement of its master knob and cannot be selected directly by the user. In partial slave mode, a slave knob can be directly selected and moved by the user, but includes a limit to its movement based on the master knob's current position. Graphical indications of the limits and/or influence on the slave slider are displayed, such as half tone displays on the screen and lines indicating the limits to movement.
