Abstract: A remote control device comprises a housing cover configured to mate with a touch-enabled surface configured to receive input gestures, and a battery holder disposed between the housing cover and the touch-enabled surface. A first plurality of magnets is disposed in the housing cover. A second plurality of magnets is disposed in the battery holder. The first plurality of magnets in the housing cover is attracted to the second plurality of magnets in a first position of the housing cover relative to the battery holder. The first plurality of magnets in the housing cover is repelled from the second plurality of magnets in a second position of the housing cover relative to the battery holder. The first position and the second position share a rotational axis normal to the touch-enabled surface.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a user interface for live media content is described. A top portion of the user interface is populated with media content categories. A selection of a media content category from the media content categories is received. A bottom portion of the user interface is populated with at least one panel relating to the selection of media content category. A timeline comprising a progress indicator corresponding to a progress of a live media content associated with the at least one panel is generated in the user interface.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a circuit to implement an on-chip resistor with desired temperature coefficient behavior. In some embodiments, a circuit may comprise an amplifier, with a reference controlled by ratioed amounts of one or more positive temperature coefficient (TC+) and/or negative temperature coefficient (TC?) circuits, coupled to a controllable resistor device to control it as temperature changes to track the desired temperature coefficient behavior.

Abstract: A method of routing a data packet in a communication system includes receiving a data packet at a first communication party operating in accordance with a first protocol. The method also includes adding a header to the data packet to produce modified data packet, the header including an identifier identifying the first protocol, first protocol information, an identifier identifying a second protocol, and second protocol information, and then sending the modified data packet to a second communication party operating in accordance with the second protocol through a first connection.

Abstract: An improved methodology and implementing system are provided in which a number of different user ID and password combinations are assigned to the user. Each combination is associated with a different service which may be requested by the user. When a user ID and password combination is uploaded from a terminal to a server, the server system compares the combination with a stored memory of associations to determine which of several possible services is being requested by the user. In one example, a server will respond to a first combination to enable normal processing of a money transaction at an ATM terminal, but will respond to a second combination to effect notification of authorities that a distress situation such as a robbery is occurring at the terminal.
