Abstract: A force exerted on a distal end of an elongate medical device can be determined. A graphical representation of the distal end of the elongate medical device and a graphical representation of the force exerted on the distal end of the elongate medical device can be computed. The graphical representation of the force can emanate from the graphical representation of the distal end of the elongate medical device. A first dimension of the graphical representation of the force can be increased in response to a longitudinal force being exerted on the distal end of the elongate medical device. A second dimension of the graphical representation of force can be increased in response to a lateral force being exerted on the distal end of the elongate medical device.

Abstract: A transistor circuit is provided including a driving transistor where conductance between the source and the drain is controlled in response to a supplied voltage, and a compensating transistor where the gate is connected to one of the source and the drain, the compensating transistor being connected so as to supply input signals to the gate of the driving transistor through the source and drain. In a transistor circuit where conductance control in a driving transistor is carried out in response to the voltage of input signals, it is possible to control the conductance by using input signals of a relatively low voltage and a variance in threshold characteristics of driving transistors is compensated. With this transistor circuit, a display panel that can display picture images with reduced uneven brightness is achieved.

Abstract: A medication injection pen (11) includes a housing (1) and a dose set knob (2) rotatable with respect to the housing (1). A brake assembly (68) is disposed in the housing (1) and has a ratchet member (43). A driver (21) includes at least one external tooth (57) engaging the ratchet member (43). The engagement between the ratchet member (43) and the at least one external tooth (57) substantially prevents the driver (21) from rotating with respect to the dose set knob (2) during dose setting and dose correcting. The engagement between the ratchet member (43) and the at least one external tooth (57) allows the driver (21) to rotate with the dose set knob (2) during an injection.

Abstract: Methods are provided for assessing potentially compromising situations of a utility company. One or more source displays of a site are accessed. A fly-out or data lensing is used to bring forward a portion of the source displays. The fly-out or data lensing is used to draw attention to a potentially compromising situation and direct the operator's attention without loosing perspective of a whole power system of the utility company.

Abstract: A medication injection pen (50) includes a housing (1) and a dose set knob (2) rotatably connected to the housing (1) for setting a dose. An indicator member (200) is movable between an visible position indicating a zero position of the dose set knob (2) and a non-visible position indicating a non-zero position of the dose set knob (2). The indicator member is visible to a user in the visible position and not visible in the non-visible position. The dose set knob is in the zero position when a set dose has been completely administered. Accordingly, a visible indication is provided to a user when a set dose has been completely administered.

Abstract: Aspects of interaction with multidimensional information for an energy system are disclosed. The use of multidimensional information in a graphical user interface can facilitate efficient communication of information related to energy systems. Energy system information can be classified. A multidimensional information interface can include a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns populated with tokens representing energy system information, based on the classification of the energy system information. The tokens can be selectable tokens such that selection of tokens can be related to accessing detailed information related to the token. In some embodiments, indicators, particularly visual indicators, can be employed to convey additional information, such as counts, selection status, sums of rows or columns, etc. Further, augmentation effects can be employed to facilitate access to an additional layer of information, such as freshness of a token, acknowledged tokens, etc.
