摘要： A latching device and operating mechanism are provided suitable for controlling the opening or closing of a tilting cover such as the hood of a car or truck. The latching device operates to prevent accidental closure of the cover when the cover is open. The operating mechanism is coupled to the latching device for releasing the latching device when the hood is to be shut. The operating mechanism is located on the vehicle near a location from which an operator typically opens or closes the hood.

摘要： A hinge is provided suitable for attaching a hood to a car or truck. The hinge includes generally tubular members sharing a common axis of rotation. Elastomeric elements interposed between the tubular members provide isolation between the parts of the hinge. Relative rotation between the tubular members compresses the elastomeric elements creating a spring-force opposing the relative rotation. The hood, hinge, and vehicle may be configured so that the spring-force of the elastomeric elements assists in opening and/or closing of the hood.

摘要： System and method for implementing selectively index enabled multi-column lists in a graphical user interface for a computer system. The graphical user interface contains a table of entries organized by columns. The columns are displayed vertically adjacent to one another. A user selectable vertical line (the divider line) can be moved from an extreme left column position to a position between adjacent columns. When a column is between the divider line and the extreme left column position, the column becomes index enabled. A single column (e.g., the left most column) or multiple columns can be index enabled simultaneously. A column can be positioned between the divider line and the extreme left column position by column reordering, e.g., leaving the divider line in a fixed position and dragging and dropping the column from a position right of the divider line. By making a column index enabled, an index of the items of the column is made and when indexed, every unique column item is represented only once in the column by an index item. A user selectable two position representation (e.g., a triangle, arrow, etc.) can be used to open (expand) or close the index item. When closed, all information contained within the index item is collapsed in the user interface. When expanded, this information can be displayed in the user interface. The present invention advantageously provides advantages of tree-views (e.g., the ease of searching through data in a hierarchical format) while also offering advantages of multi-column list displays (e.g., volume of information presentation).

摘要翻译： 用于在用于计算机系统的图形用户界面中实施选择性地启用索引的多列列表的系统和方法。 图形用户界面包含由列组织的条目表。 列彼此垂直显示。 用户可选择的垂直线（分隔线）可以从最左侧列位置移动到相邻列之间的位置。 当一列位于分隔线和最左列位置之间时，列变为启用索引。 单列（例如最左列）或多列可以同时索引。 列可以通过列重排序而定位在分隔线和最左列位置之间，例如使分隔线保持在固定位置，并且从分隔线右侧的位置拖拽列。 通过使列索引启用，列的项目的索引被创建，并且在索引时，每个唯一的列项目在列中仅由索引项目表示一次。 可以使用用户可选择的两个位置表示（例如，三角形，箭头等）来打开（扩展）或关闭索引项。 关闭时，索引项中包含的所有信息都将在用户界面中折叠。 扩展后，该信息可以显示在用户界面中。 本发明有利地提供树视图的优点（例如，以分层格式搜索数据的容易性），同时还提供多列列表显示（例如，信息量呈现）的优点。
