Abstract: A user interface element for selecting items from a hierarchy of items can present a cell for each level in the hierarchy of items. Each cell can be associated with a level in the hierarchy and is operable to receive user input. In response to receiving user input directed to a cell, a collection of items can be presented where each presented item is from the level in the hierarchy associated with the cell. Each presented item can also be a child of a selected item in a cell associated with a higher level in the hierarchy.

Abstract: A plurality of memory lies within the airflow created by the cooling fans and includes modules arranged in a plurality of pairs of memory modules aligned in substantially the same direction as airflow. Each pair has a first memory module and a second memory module, the first and second memory modules each have a length, and the first memory module and the second module are disposed such that the length of the first memory module is in a substantially parallel relationship with respect to the length of the second memory module. A portion of the length of the first memory module is disposed between another pair of memory modules.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing media distribution are disclosed. Advantageously, the management of media distribution can be substantially computer implemented and include management of media distribution agreements. The management of media distribution agreements can operate to manage the creation and/or renewal of media distribution agreements in an automated and efficient manner. The methods and systems for management of media distribution can also take appropriate action when an established media distribution agreement expires.

Abstract: Techniques to generate partial display updates in a buffered window system in which arbitrary visual effects are permitted to any one or more windows (e.g., application-specific window buffers) are described. Once a display output region is identified for updating, the buffered window system is interrogated to determine which regions within each window, if any, may effect the identified output region. Such determination considers the consequences any filters associated with a window impose on the region needed to make the output update.

Abstract translation: 描述了在缓冲窗口系统中产生部分显示更新的技术，其中任意视觉效果被允许到任何一个或多个窗口（例如，特定于应用的窗口缓冲器）。 一旦显示输出区域被识别用于更新，则缓冲的窗口系统被询问以确定每个窗口内的哪些区域（如果有的话）可以影响所识别的输出区域。 这种确定考虑了与窗口相关联的任何过滤器对进行输出更新所需的区域的后果。

Abstract: Computing the popularity of a source of serial online content based upon a number of subscriptions to the source of serial online content is disclosed. In some embodiments, upon receiving an indication that a subscription to a source of serial online content has been requested, a popularity score for the source of serial online content is computed based at least in part on a decayed count of subscriptions to the source of serial online content over a prescribed time period. In some embodiments, the computation of the popularity score includes time decaying the count of subscriptions by multiplying by a decay factor at prescribed time intervals. In some embodiments, the popularity scores of a plurality of sources of serial online content are sorted and ranked, to generate, for example, a listing of the most popular sources of serial online content.

Abstract: A consumer electronic product (e.g., a portable media player ported to a media delivery accessory) is powered by a limited capacity DC power source (such as a battery or mini-fuel cell). The consumer electronic product limits the maximum allowable sound pressure level (SPL) that can be produced by the speakers. In one embodiment, the maximum allowable SPL is based upon an amount of stored energy available in the limited capacity DC power source.

Abstract translation: 消费电子产品（例如，移植到媒体传送附件的便携式媒体播放器）由有限容量的DC电源（例如电池或小型燃料电池）供电。 消费电子产品限制扬声器可产生的最大允许声压级（SPL）。 在一个实施例中，最大允许SPL基于在有限容量DC电源中可用的存储能量的量。
