Abstract: Embodiments for improved data structuring for computer devices that provides efficient organization and navigation in a user interface in order to increase the amount and type of content that can be presented to a user, particularly with regard to small displays. For example, by emphasizing how data relates to other data (e.g., emphasizing the organizational structure) during navigation as opposed to after navigation, the embodiments provide an intuitive user interface for devices that indicates the relationship between data without the need for additional on-screen objects.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a hierarchical tree may include nodes that each indicates an objective, and each non-root node of the nodes indicates an objective supporting an objective of at least one node with which the non-root node has a direct relationship. Based on a modification to an objective of a given node of the tree, a determination of whether at least one child node of the given node indicates an unsatisfiable objective (e.g., no longer suitably supporting the given node's objective). For a child node of the given node determined to indicate an unsatisfiable objective, a corresponding subset of the tree may be replaced with replacement nodes that each indicates a satisfiable objective (e.g., suitably supporting the given node's objective), where the corresponding subset includes (i) the child node and (ii) descendant nodes of the child node.

Abstract: A motor vehicle front end having one, preferably two, headlamps, wherein the headlamp is intended and constructed so as to be fastened in an assembly position onto the motor vehicle, in particular onto the motor vehicle front end, and wherein the headlamp is fastened by means of a transport holder on the front end in a transport position, the transport position being different from the assembly position. The transport position is offset frontward and/or downward relative to the assembly position, in order to provide a front end, motor vehicle, and method that make it possible to create motor vehicle designs with which pre-assembly of the headlamps in the assembly position thereof is not possible, without thereby incurring additional logistical complexity on the assembly lines for the vehicle, or wherein this additional complexity is at least largely avoided.

Abstract: Waste clean-up and disposal devices are disclosed for scooping-up, bagging, and disposing of pet waste in a sanitary manner. The device includes a scooper body for removably housing and protecting a flexible tubing dispensing cassette. The scooper body defines a passageway between a waste entrance opening and a waste exit opening. The cassette dispenses flexible tubing from the waste exit opening for receiving waste materials such as pet waste droppings. A blade is preferably connected to the housing for severing of the flexible tubing for disposal.

Abstract: Apparatus for reducing torque on a drill string includes a first bearing assembly, a second bearing assembly, and a bearing sleeve. The first and second bearing assemblies are disposed on and clamped onto a tubular portion of a drill pipe of the drill string, and each include a first and second section. The bearing sleeve is disposed on the drill pipe such that the bearing sleeve is maintained in an axial position relative to the drill pipe by the first bearing assembly and the second bearing assembly.
