摘要:
A user interface is described that temporarily displays portions of a page that reside outside of the viewable area of the screen. An animated transition creates a brief preview of at least one user interface feature. Additionally, the user interface feature is then animated out of the viewable area in a way to suggest a location of the feature. In one embodiment, a target page that is being opened controls the transition and animates features into and out of the viewable area to create the temporary preview. In another embodiment, the target page includes user interface elements that can asynchronously control the preview animation independent from the main content of the target page. In yet another embodiment, a transition coordinator can coordinate the timing between animating out a foreground application while animating in a target application.

Dynamic icons are described that can employ animations, such as visual effects, audio, and other content that change with time. If multiple animations are scheduled to occur simultaneously, the timing of the animations can be controlled so that timing overlap of the animations is reduced. For example, the starting times of the animations can be staggered so that multiple animations are not initiated too close in time. It has been found that too much motion in the user interface can be distracting and cause confusion amongst users.

A control system with slow-in-turn capabilities for use with a self-propelled, steerable vehicle, such as a lawn mower, is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system slows the vehicle speed when turns are made beyond a predetermined range and the speed is at or above a predetermined level, as determined by a speed control device operatively connected to the speed control structure of a motive device by a speed control linkage. This slowing results in increased traction for achieving tighter turns and also improves dynamic stability. Two different types of rack-and-pinion steering systems capable of being used with the control system are also disclosed.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for tracking instantaneous changes in blood pressure. The invention is utilized in an oscillometric blood pressure measuring apparatus of the type measuring pulsatile perturbations in a patient's blood pressure at a plurality of different measurement pressures of a sphygmomanometer cuff, to derive a blood pressure model for the patient, the model being stored in the apparatus as a series of pulsatile perturbations and the associated cuff pressures. A characteristic curve is generated so as to approximate the stored model in the vicinity of a predefined index value of cuff pressure. The pressure of the cuff is maintained within a predetermined range, r, of the index value, while changes in the index value are tracked by sensing a pulsatile perturbation in the cuff pressure, deriving the corresponding value for cuff pressure from the characteristic curve, and utilizing the derived pressure as a new estimate for the index value. In a preferred embodiment, the characteristic curve is realized as an equation defining a straight line.
