Abstract: A method of displaying available multimedia content items includes receiving a request to display a set of available content items. In response to the request, a first set of icons are provided for display, where each icon corresponds to a type of available multimedia content. The icons are displayed in an approximately circular arrangement, providing for easy viewing and manipulation. In response to selection of an icon, a second set of icons is displayed in an approximately circular arrangement, where each icon of the second set corresponds to a sub-type of the available multimedia content. The user can continue to select icons based on the type of desired multimedia content until a list of available multimedia content items are displayed. Accordingly, the user is able to quickly locate and view multimedia content of a desired type, resulting in an improved user experience.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, the preferred embodiment of a movable gear drive windshield wiper apparatus employs an axial motion mechanism and a bidirectional driving mechanism. Rotation of a rotatable member in a first direction causes a transverse movement of the rotatable member along a ball screw shaft of the axial motion mechanism to a first position where it rotates in a given plane. Rotation of the rotatable member in the opposite direction causes the rotatable member to move down the ball screw shaft to a second position where it rotates in a second given plane. In another aspect of the present invention, the bi-directional driving mechanism rotationally drives a driven member such that the driven member is oscillated by continuously rotating the rotatable member in the first direction. In a further aspect of the present invention, the rotatable member selectively actuates a plurality of discrete motion mechanisms thereby causing a plurality of mechanical devices coupled thereto to operate.

Abstract: Resetting a password for a network service account may include redirecting the user to a password reset tool, wherein the user is blocked from network access other than the password reset tool while being redirected. After redirecting the user to the password reset tool, user entry of verification information may be accepted, and the verification information from the user may be compared with known verification information for the user. User entry of a new password may be accepted if the verification information accepted from the user matches the known verification information for the user; and the new password may be stored as the known password for the user. Related systems and computer-program products are also discussed.

Abstract: Methods of forming electrostatically charged gelatin are provided. Gelatin is extracted by an acid extraction method (12) thereby producing a gelatin dispersion (14), the pH of which is adjusted to the isoelectric point of the gelatin. The pH of the gelatin dispersion (14) is then further adjusted (22) so as to cause the gelatin to assume an electrostatic charge.
