摘要： Vehicles with open loop hydraulic steering systems may suffer from jerky steering due to the necessity to have safety valves in the open loop system to prevent uncontrolled vehicle movement. Traditional open loop steering arrangements allow steering by controlling fluid quantities flowing from the pump to the drive motors. The disclosed vehicle has an open loop hydraulic drive system including first and second variable displacement motors for driving ground engaging mechanisms at first and second sides of the vehicle, respectively. The system includes a control mechanism configured for steering the vehicle by changing the displacement of one of the first and second motors. This allows the operator to change the drive motor speed range during travel.

摘要： In many situations, the objective of data entry is to obtain a complex or structured value. This has traditionally been accomplished by providing a discrete entry field for each element of data entry. By extending the notion of an entry filter, and introducing the notion of a discrete editable element within an entry field, it is possible to apply a structure to that entry field. A management component enables one or more entry filters to be associated in turn with each editable element, and ensures that the entry filters are applied correctly to the appropriate elements.

摘要： A navigation manager component cooperable with a user interface renderer is described. The navigation manager manages one or more navigation units and maintains a navigation unit cursor. Each navigation unit is associated with another navigation unit managed by the same navigation manager. The navigation manager provides a range of navigation services, which operate upon the navigation unit cursor. These services include a service to navigate forwards and a service to navigate backwards. These services take into account the associations between navigation units in order to determine the correct sequence of navigation units for forwards and backwards navigation. The services also determine whether the items represented by each navigation unit include eligible items or items for which data entry is incomplete. In this way, navigation units for which all the items represented by the navigation unit are ineligible can be passed over by the navigation services, to that they never become current.

摘要： A method of presenting information via a user interface of a computer system is disclosed. The method is executed by a book component and a renderer component. The book determines page boundaries for pages in which information is to be presented, and communicates the page boundaries to the renderer. The renderer determines a number of pages, constrained by the page boundaries, required to fully render the information, and communicates the number of pages to the book. Responsive to the book providing an input token representing a prominent element of information on a page, the renderer determines a page number for the page containing the element of information represented by the token, and communicates the page number to the book. Responsive to an event requiring the presentation of a page including a prominent element of information, the book communicates the page number to the renderer. The renderer presents the page in a display area and provides an output token to the book representing a prominent element of information on the presented page.

摘要： A user interface component, gauge, is adapted to present a changing value according to a pre-determined behavioral and presentational characteristic. The component includes a kernel which is adapted to display a presentation value; a control interface through which an external system communicates the changing value to the kernel; a presentation interface through which the presentation characteristic of the user interface component is determined; and a behavior interface through which an external system communicates with said kernel to determine the behavioral characteristic of the user interface component.

摘要： Java™ Development Toolkit version 1.1.x (JDK) does not support the serialization of images. JDK on the other hand allows primitive data types to be serialized. This means that an application developer can design an application so that any primitive data type objects, including objects comprising primitive data type components, can be written to a file or another area of memory, before an application closes. When the application re-opens, the primitive data types can be de-serialized and so recovered and the application can continue as if it had never closed with the exception that image objects will not have been recovered. The invention discloses a component for a development kit comprising means for converting an image object into a primitive data type object and means for serializing that object so that the object can be made persistent. In a preferred embodiment, the component converts an image object to an array of integers representing the image pixels; creates a color table of unique integers from the integer array; converts each integer in the integer array into an index into the color table; and zip compresses the combined color table and array of indices before serialization.

摘要翻译： Java（TM）开发工具包版本1.1.x（JDK）不支持图像序列化。 另一方面，JDK允许原始数据类型被序列化。 这意味着应用程序开发人员可以设计应用程序，以便在应用程序关闭之前，可以将任何包含原始数据类型组件的对象的原始数据类型对象写入文件或其他存储器区域。 当应用程序重新打开时，原始数据类型可以被解除序列化，因此恢复，并且应用程序可以继续，就像它从未关闭，但是图像对象不会被恢复。 本发明公开了一种用于开发套件的组件，其包括用于将图像对象转换为原始数据类型对象的装置，以及用于对该对象进行序列化以使对象可以持久化的装置。 在优选实施例中，组件将图像对象转换为表示图像像素的整数数组; 从整数数组创建唯一整数的颜色表; 将整数数组中的每个整数转换为颜色表中的索引; 并且zip在序列化之前压缩组合的颜色表和索引数组。

摘要： Provided is a framework supporting presentation of help information via a computer system user interface in response to the proximity of an input device pointer to an interface area associated with a user interface component. The framework provides generic methods which remove from user interface components much of the task of managing the presentation of help information. The framework supports presentation of help information for a platform-independent component programming environment and supports presentations in a plurality of different styles (such as text, audio, animating graphics, etc) by means of selectable presentation methods.

摘要： A range selector component displays and enables the definition of discontiguous sub-ranges from within a range. The component implements a paint mechanism for displaying the range selector component and one or more discontiguous sub-ranges within the range of the component; and implements mouse listener interfaces so as to respond to pointer interaction with the rendered range selector component, for defining the one or more discontiguous sub-ranges. In particular, the selector is responsive to pointer selection within a sub-range to split the sub-range into two sub-ranges.

摘要： A user interface builder provides support for creation of customized user interfaces, enabling users to associate images, animation, sound clips and other media with specific predefined states of a user interface control. A set of object classes for each control predefined within the user interface builder include a first class defining the functional behavior and a comprehensive state model for the control, and a second class which encapsulates property attributes which may be set by a user to be associated with specific states of the control. In particular, desired graphics images, audio and animation sequences can be associated with a control via simple GUI interaction, avoiding the need for an interface creator to write code for standard interface control functions and so enabling easy creation of interfaces with semantic consistency and customized appearance.
