Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device presents media items from different media applications in a unified media browsing application. In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates browsing of media from different media applications based on category of media (e.g., movies, television shows, etc.). In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates setup of a unified media browsing application that presents media items from different media applications in a unified media browsing user interface. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays multiple episodes of a collection of episodic content (e.g., a television series) in a user interface for the collection of episodic content. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays representations of, and provides access to, live-event media items accessible on the electronic device.

Abstract: One embodiment disclosed relates to a method of fault recovery by a switch in a local area network. A link failure is detected at a port of the switch. In response to the link failure detection, a MAC address table of the switch is cleared. Clearing the address table causes a discovery process to fill the table to begin immediately. In addition, a link on another port of the switch may be dropped to propagate the link failure.

Abstract: One embodiment disclosed relates to an apparatus for temperature control of an integrated circuit on a circuit board. The apparatus includes a first resistor on the circuit board, a second resistor on the circuit board, and a heat conductive material. The heat conductive material is attached to both the first and second resistors and to a surface of a package containing the integrated circuit. Another embodiment disclosed relates to an apparatus that provides both cooling and heating functionality in order to maintain the operational temperature of the IC within an acceptable range.

Abstract: A rear wheel steering arrangement for a motor vehicle having a pair of rear wheels connected to the vehicle by forward and rearward transverse suspension arms comprises a body member extending transversely between each of the rear wheels, the slide member mounted on the body member and being connected to an inboard end of each of the rearward suspension arms, and a steering mechanism having an input shaft and an output shaft. The output shaft is connected to the slide member and the steering mechanism drives the slide member axially along the transvrese member causing the rearward suspension arms to move in common with the slide member so as to produce a steering action on the rear wheels.

Abstract: A marine structure, for example an offshore production plantform comprises a floating base section, which can be flooded, having caissons thereon and a topsides mounted on the caissons. The caissons comprise at least two telescopic sections,the uppermost section carrying the topsides and the lowermost being mounted on the base. The structure can be installed by supporting hte topsides for example, using the derrick of a jack-up rig, and then partially flooding the base section until the jack-up rig is supporting the topsides. On lowering the hook, more of the topsides weight is applied to the base and the structure sinks to the sea-bed where it is secured by grouting. The upper supported section is then lifted to the desired height and the telescopic sections locked. Piling and drill casings, strings etc. may be lowered through the topsides into the hollow regions within the legs.
