Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for using electrical button matrix scanning techniques to detect remote control buttons pressed by users. An example embodiment operates by detecting, using an electrical matrix scanning technique, an actuated electrical switch corresponding to a remote control action for a media device. The actuated electrical switch includes a first actuated electrode coupled to a first actuated electrical line of an electrical matrix, a second actuated electrode coupled to a second actuated electrical line of the electrical matrix, and a third actuated electrode coupled to a third actuated electrical line of the electrical matrix. In response to detecting the actuated electrical switch, the example embodiment operates by triggering an execution of the remote control action corresponding to the actuated electrical switch.

Abstract: In a device for facilitating the radial adjustment of a cutting edge member of a boring and turning tool with a rotatable adjusting ring (18) arranged on the outside of a tool-carrier housing, an extendible and retractable locking ram (42) can be extended from the spindle housing (7) of the machine tool, which locking ram in an extended position allows the adjusting ring to be movable to cause a radial adjustment of the cutting edge member and in a retracted position causing the adjusting ring (18) to be fixed with respect to the tool-carrier housing and the machine tool spindle (4) so that no radial adjustment is possible. The device can be automated, since the locking ram (42) can be controlled by a general machine control.

Abstract: Single wall domains are moved synchronously in a sheet of magnetic material along channels defined by magnetically soft overlays as an in-plane magnetic field reorients. A detector is described which includes as an integral part thereof a portion of the overlay defining the propagation channels.
