Methods and systems are provided for, volume interactions for connected playback device. In one example, a plurality of playback devices may be rendering audio in synchrony, when a volume adjustment is made for the plurality of playback devices as a group. In one case, a first playback device in the plurality of playback devices may have a volume limit, as indicated by a state variable associated with the first playback device. In this case, the resulting volume adjustment for the first playback device may be made according to both the group volume adjustment and the volume limit of the first playback device.

A display system and method for operating a display and a collection of digital multimedia objects are provided. A first selection set of predefined organizational metaphors is presented and a selection of a first organizational metaphor from the first selection set is received. A second selection set of predefined organizational metaphors other than the first selected organizational metaphor is presented and a selection of a second organizational metaphor from the second selection set is received. A result is presented on the display having one of at least two group icons, each group icon indicating a group of digital multimedia objects chosen from the collection according to rules associated with the selected organizational metaphors and the content of the digital multimedia objects or any metadata associated with the digital multimedia objects. Wherein the group of digital multimedia objects indicated by each group icon are chosen according to result presentation rules.

Methods for determining affective information are provided as are imaging systems that determine affective information. In accordance with one method, affective signals are obtained containing facial characteristics and physiological characteristics of a person. The facial characteristics are analyzed and the physiological characteristics are analyzed. The emotional state of the person is determined based upon analysis of the facial and physiological characteristics of the person.

An optical actuator for positioning a lens to focus a laser light beam on a surface of a compact disk, and to compensate for tilt errors in the surface of the compact disk, including a lens mount for supporting the lens; a base; at least two pairs of spaced-apart flexures, each pair of flexures being fixed to the lens mount and to a base, the flexures of one pair being arranged so that they are non-parallel when viewed from the side and the distance between flexures at the base is less than the distance at the position where they are mounted to the lens mount and the other pair of flexures being arranged so that they are non-parallel when viewed from the side and the distance between flexures at the base is greater than the distance at the position where they are mounted to the lens mount; and applying a force to the lens mount along a line and between the flexures so that when viewed from the parallel flexure side the line bisects each flexure to cause the flexures to deflect such that as the lens moves in a vertical direction to focus the light beam, it also rotates to maintain a nearly perpendicular alignment of the optical axis to the compact disk surface, minimizing the residual tilt error.
摘要:
A method of customizing and storing an interface control for an imaging machine by entering an interface control customizing mode providing access to a library of control features, selecting a set of control features for use on a given machine, and arranging the set of control features in a given configuration on a scaled representation of an interface control. The set of control features and given configuration is then stored in memory, and referenced with a given identifier in order that upon accessing the identifier the set of control features and given configuration are provided on the interface control display.

An electric humidifier includes a base defining a liquid reservoir and a latch aperture. A humidifier unit is hingedly mounted on the base over the reservoir and movable to provide access thereto. The humidifier unit includes an electrically energized humidification means for inducing dispersion of liquid through a discharge opening into a space to be humidified. Power is supplied to the humidification unit and aligned with the latch aperture on the base when the humidifier unit is operatively mounted on the base. A power supply cord has a plug detachably connected to the connector through the latch aperture. The engagement of the connected plug with the latch aperture prevents movement of the humidifier with respect to the base to prevent access to the reservoir and interior of the humidifier unit so long as the plug and connector are in operative engagement.

A clamp clamping a side of a container has a head portion and a pair of leg portions extending from the head portion and partially abutting opposite surfaces of the side of the container when in use. The head portion has support part angularly inclined to the leg portions. A first permanent magnet is mounted on the support part of the head portion in a manner whereby the magnet releasably holds a brush via the magnetic metal part of the brush over the lip of the container with the bristles of the brush over the open container and sloped downward from the handle of the brush, so that liquid on the bristles will drip into the container without befouling any of the brush, the container, or the proximate area of the container. A second permanent magnet is mounted on one of the leg portions of the clamp in a manner whereby the second magnet magnetically couples the clamp to a magnetic metal container.
