A light activation system is provided for automatically illuminating a compartment in an automobile. The system comprises a light adapted to illuminate the compartment, a lighting circuit that activates and deactivates the light, and a distance sensor, electrically coupled to the lighting circuit, and adapted to cause the light to be activated when a person is within a predetermined distance from the compartment. A method is also provided for automatically illuminating a compartment in an automobile having a light that is adapted to illuminate the compartment, and a lighting circuit that activates and deactivates the light. The method comprises the step of activating the light when a person is within a predetermined distance from the compartment using a distance sensor that is electrically coupled to the lighting circuit.

Methods and an apparatus are provided for producing owners manual information related to operation of a vehicle. The apparatus comprises a display system, an input device configured to generate a control signal in response to actuation by an operator of the vehicle, and a control module that is configured to sense an event of the vehicle and generate an output signal corresponding to the event. In addition, the apparatus further comprises a display control module configured to receive the control signal generated by the input device and the output signal generated by the control module. The display control module is further configured to control the display system in order to produce a visual representation of the owners manual information related to operation of the vehicle in response to the control signal and the outputsignal.

Handheld display devices have often limited display capabilities. In order to view a full HTML page (200), a method is provided that splits the original page into less complex units (210, 206, 208, 204, 212, 214, 202) so that they can be best displayed on these small devices. The document is parsed into a tree structure and the complexity of the tree is calculated. Depending on the complexity it is decided which part of the document must be displayed onto a new page.

A container for a manually operable oil dispenser for use with metal working machines comprises a bucket providing a reservoir for oil to be dispensed and a pan in the bucket for catching oil and chips dropping thereinto and for returning the oil to the bucket. The bucket has a bottom, a sidewall and an annular upper end, and the pan has an apertured bottom spaced above the bottom of the bucket, a sidewall inwardly of the sidewall of the bucket and an upper end overlying and slidable circumferentially relative to the upper end of the bucket. The bucket and pan have locking members interengaging during relative sliding displacement therebetween to releasably interengage the bucket and pan against separation. The bottom and sidewall of the bucket are contoured to minimize the volume of oil necessary in the reservoir area for continual operation of the dispenser, and the bucket is provided with a bulkhead fitting for attachment to a dispensing pump hose at an angle of 45° to horizontal.

A jigsaw with at least some pieces being adapted to be placed alongside a plurality of other pieces by having an upper surface feature extending substantially completely along any one or more of the mating edges so that any other piece with a corresponding upper surface feature extending substantially completely along any one of the corresponding mating edges can be placed along side the or any one of the corresponding upper surface feature edges of the former piece. Preferably, the upper surface features extend completely along a whole number of mating edges and further surface features are provided along further mating edges of at least some of the pieces. Thereafter the surface feature remote from the mating edge may form a common border with one or more other surface feature remote borders. The invention allows the interchange of pieces to create new surface features.

A method for creating a customized TV/radio service from user-selected contents is disclosed. The method is applied to a playback device for receiving a number of digital audio/video services. The method includes decoding the received digital audio/video services to obtain a plurality of content elements and metadata corresponding to the content elements; examining the digital audio/video services to determine breaks between the content elements; checking the associated metadata for each content element against a list of user-provided keywords/genres corresponding to the user-selected contents; recording the content elements, a plurality of advertisements and associated keywords describing contents of the advertisements when the corresponding metadata substantially match at least one of the user-selected contents; and constructing a playlist of the recorded contents for the user to create the customize TV/radio service when the user wishes to play the recorded contents.

A method and an apparatus of recording from an audio stream are provided. The method receives and caches the audio stream. It is determined whether a track corresponding to at least an attribute begins by detecting a period of silence and by analyzing metadata of the audio stream. If so, a start is marked in the cached audio stream. Next, it is determined whether the track ends by detecting a period of silence and by analyzing metadata of the audio stream. If so, an end is marked in the cached audio stream. Finally, an audio file is created based on a section of the cached audio stream indicated by the start and end marked in the cached audio stream.

Apparatus for attaching a seat to a vehicle body having a floor panel beneath the seat, a rocker panel outboard the seat and a tunnel inboard the seat. An outboard seat adjuster track has a lower track slideable with an upper track and having a forward end and a rearward end. A rearward outboard mounting bracket is attached to the rocker panel and extends inboard to underlie and attach to the rearward end of the lower track of the outboard seat adjuster track. A longitudinal extending inboard seat adjuster track has a lower track that is slideable with an upper track and having a forward end and a rearward end. A rearward inboard mounting bracket is attached to the tunnel and extends outboard to underlie the rearward end of the lower track of the inboard seat adjuster track and having the rearward end of the lower track attached thereto.
