  • Publication number: 20090125837
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to tab control presentation and provide a method, system and computer program product for tab control management with type-ahead and thumbnail imagery. In an embodiment of the invention, a tab control navigation method can be provided. The method can include arranging thumbnail images for corresponding tabs in a tab control within a tab navigation view, and, in response to a selection of one of the thumbnail images, activating a corresponding one of the tabs in the tab control. The method further can include receiving text in a type-ahead filter, and filtering the tab navigation view to include only thumbnail images corresponding to tabs associated with the text.

  • Patent number: 7018703
    Abstract: Provided are thin-laminate panels (i.e., thin-laminate panels having dielectric layers of about 0.006 inches or less and conductive layers on either side of the dielectric layer), wherein the edges of the dielectric layers of the panels are free of conductive material, such as copper. The thin-laminate panel is designed to provide necessary capacitance for all or a substantial number of the integrated circuits to be formed thereon. Finishing methods for treating unfinished thin-laminate panels into finished thin-laminate panels assure that the edges of the dielectric layer of the panel are substantially free of conductive material.

  • Publication number: 20060061355
    Abstract: A method for implementing program execution integrity (PEI) for a communication-based sensor includes receiving an output communication message from the sensor, the output communication message including sensor output data internally processed within the sensor. The output communication message further includes raw data used by the sensor in internally processing the sensor output data. The raw data is independently processed, and the results thereof are compared with the internally processed sensor output data so as to verify the processing integrity of the sensor to a desired tolerance.

  • Publication number: 20050279385
    Abstract: A method and system for positioning a vehicle within the wash area of a wash system having a first sensor positioned near the entry of the wash system and a second sensor positioned near the exit of the wash system. A signal is operatively connected to the sensors to signal the driver to stop, back up, and confirm that the vehicle is located in the wash area between the first and second sensors.

  • Patent number: 6783620
    Abstract: The present invention provides thin-laminate panels (i.e., thin-laminate panels having dielectric layers of about 0.006 inches or less and conductive layers on either side of the dielectric layer), wherein the edges of the dielectric layers of the panels are free of conductive material, such as copper. The thin-laminate panel is designed to provide necessary capacitance for all or a substantial number of the integrated circuits to be formed thereon. The thin-laminate panels of the present invention may be tested for manufacturing defects, such as short circuits, before further processing of the panels to produce PCBs. “Finishing” methods for shearing sheets of unfinished thin-laminate into the finished thin-laminate panels of the present invention in a manner that does not cause smearing of the conductive material onto the dielectric layer are also provided.

  • Patent number: 4453778
    Abstract: A hydraulic brake control device has a load sensing component connected through an electric circuit to a motorized proportioning valve which loads or unloads a resilient member therein to vary the split point of the proportioning valve. The electric circuit has an attitude cutoff switch and a speed cutoff switch which deactuate the electric circuit when the vehicle is pitched or rolled above a predetermined horizontal attitude and moving faster than a predetermined speed, respectively. The electric circuit can either actuate the motor to load the resilient member within proportioning valve, unload the resilient member within proportioning valve, or render the motor inactive and maintain the proportioning valve in a status quo condition.
