Abstract: A media device for storing and playing media such as audio, video or images, includes a memory device configured to store a plurality of media items in a digital format. The media device also includes a display configured to present a group of media items from the plurality of stored media items and to present a visual indicator that is capable of scrolling through the displayed group of media items in order to designate a specific media item from the group of media items. The media deice further includes a touch pad configured to receive input from a sliding motion or a tapping motion of a finger. The sliding motion of the finger controls the movement of the visual indicator through the group of media items. The tapping motion of the finger selects the specific media item that is designated by the visual indicator.

Abstract: A framework for performing graphics animation and compositing operations has a layer tree for interfacing with the application and a render tree for interfacing with a render engine. Layers in the layer tree can be content, windows, views, video, images, text, media, or any other type of object for a user interface of an application. The application commits change to the state of the layers of the layer tree. The application does not need to include explicit code for animating the changes to the layers. Instead, an animation is determined for animating the change in state. In determining the animation, the framework can define a set of predetermined animations based on motion, visibility, and transition. The determined animation is explicitly applied to the affected layers in the render tree. A render engine renders from the render tree into a frame buffer for display on the computer system. Those portions of the render tree that have changed relative to prior versions can be tracked to improve resource management.

Abstract translation: 用于执行图形动画和合成操作的框架具有用于与应用接口的层树和用于与渲染引擎接口的渲染树。 层树中的层可以是应用的用户界面的内容，窗口，视图，视频，图像，文本，媒体或任何其他类型的对象。 应用程序将更改为层树的层的状态。 该应用程序不需要包含用于动画化图层的更改的显式代码。 相反，确定动画来动画状态的变化。 在确定动画时，框架可以基于运动，可视性和转换定义一组预定的动画。 确定的动画显式应用于渲染树中的受影响的图层。 渲染引擎从渲染树呈现为帧缓冲区，用于在计算机系统上显示。 渲染树中相对于先前版本更改的那些部分可以被跟踪，以改进资源管理。

Abstract: Multiple devices are automatically configured within a cluster through the use of exclusive file locks in a shared file system. The devices execute a process to determine the health of the enabled services and check for failed services. Actions are tailored based upon which services and roles are enabled for a specific device to maintain a relationship and sharing of information and data between the devices.
