Abstract: A computing device is disclosed. The computing device includes a light source configured to output light. The computing device also includes a light sensor configured to measure the level of light surrounding the computing device. The computing device further includes a control mechanism operatively coupled to the light source and light sensor and configured to adjust the level of output light based on the measured level of light surrounding the computing device.

Abstract: A computer readable medium containing program instructions for controlling a parametric equalizer is provided. Generally, a computer readable code is provided for displaying a composite equalization curve, wherein the composite equalization curve is formed from at least a first frequency filter with a first center frequency, a second frequency filter with a second center frequency, and a third frequency filter with a third center frequency. A computer readable code is provided for allowing a dragging movement of the first center frequency, the second center frequency, and the third center frequency.

Abstract: An electronic device has a display and has a touch sensitive bezel surrounding the display. Areas on the bezel are designated for controls used to operate the electronic device. Visual guides corresponding to the controls are displayed on the display adjacent the areas of the bezel designated for the controls. Touch data is generated by the bezel when a user touches an area of the bezel. The device determines which of the controls has been selected based on which designated area is associated with the touch data from the bezel. The device then initiates the determined control. The device can have a sensor for determining the orientation of the device. Based on the orientation, the device can alter the areas designated on the bezel for the controls and can alter the location of the visual guides for the display so that they match the altered areas on the bezel.

Abstract: A user interface and methods for controlling and presenting information concerning scrolling of an on-screen document are described. In one aspect of the invention, an exemplary method of the invention generates a graphical user interface to provide functionality of controlling a scroll amount for an on-screen document. In this method, a graphical representation of a scroll activator is displayed to enable the user to activate the scroll function using a cursor control device. In addition, a graphical representation of multiple scroll amount indicators is also displayed along with the graphical representation of the scroll activator. The multiple scroll amount indicators graphically illustrate various magnitudes of scrolling. According to another aspect of the present invention, an exemplary method of the invention provides a coasting function when an on-screen document scrolls.

Abstract: The invention relates to an extrusion plant for manufacturing foam products such as foamed sheets, foamed boards and foamed profiles, and consists of one melting extruder minimum to melt and homogenise the plastic material and a minimum of two parallel cooling units to cool down the plastic melt prior to extrusion through a die. According to the invention it is planned that the minimum of two parallel cooling units are used that may or may not be identical or that can be controlled by control means so that the expelled plastic melt from these units may or may not have the same material properties.
