20150088165 | Methods and Devices for Passing Sutures Around Anatomical Structures - Various exemplary methods and devices are provided for passing sutures around anatomical structures. In an exemplary embodiment, a suture delivery device is provided that includes a body portion having a suture delivery member disposed therein and configured to pass a suture around an anatomical structure. The suture delivery member can be movable between a retracted configuration in which the suture delivery member is disposed within the body portion and an advanced configuration in which the suture delivery member extends distally beyond the body portion and assumes an arcurate shape. The arcurate shape can correspond to a shape of the anatomical structure and can extend almost all of the way around the anatomical structure, for example at least around 270° of a circle, thus assisting a user in passing the suture around the anatomical structure without having to manually manipulate the suture delivery device at awkward angles around adjacent tissue. | 03-26-2015 |

20090312062 | METHOD FOR INDICATING SOFT KEY CHANGE USING ANIMATION - Systems and methods provide an attention grabbing display when the function mapped to a soft key and the associated soft key label has changed. Animation is used to draw a user's attention to the soft key label change, thereby alerting the user to the changed function mapped to the soft keys. | 12-17-2009 |
20100315438 | USER INTERFACE METHODS PROVIDING CONTINUOUS ZOOM FUNCTIONALITY - Methods and devices provide an efficient user interface for providing continuous zoom or magnification of a displayed image on a computing device. A user may initiate a zoom-in or zoom-out function by tracing an ellipsoidal shape (e.g., a circle) using a user interface device, such as a touchscreen, touchpad or mouse. The zoom function continues so long as a touchscreen or touchpad are touched, or a mouse button is depressed, and an ellipsoidal path is traced. Zoom-in or magnification scaling factor may be applied to an image in response to a clockwise path trace and a zoom-out or demagnification scaling factor may be applied to an image in response to a clockwise path trace, or vice versa. A visual aid may be presented on the display that may be followed to conduct the zoom function. | 12-16-2010 |
20110055753 | USER INTERFACE METHODS PROVIDING SEARCHING FUNCTIONALITY - Methods and devices provide an efficient user interface for activating a function by detecting a tickle gesture on a touch surface of a computing device. The tickle gesture may include short strokes in approximately opposite directions traced on a touch surface, such as a touchscreen or touchpad. The activated function may open an application or activate a search function. The index menu item may change based on the location and/or movement of the touch on the touch surface. Such functionality may show search results based on the menu item displayed before the user's finger was lifted from the touch surface. | 03-03-2011 |
20110153190 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING NAVIGATION SUPPORT FOR PRIVATE PREMISES - Techniques for providing navigation support for private premises are described. In an aspect, a composite map may be generated by combining a geo-coded map for public areas with another geo-coded map for a private premise. The composite map may be generated in real time and may be provided as an aid for navigation in both the public areas and the private premise. In another aspect, a geo-coded map may be dynamically determined based on the current configuration of a private premise, which may be reconfigurable over time. The geo-coded map may include improvised roadways and/or other improvised features and may be provided as an aid for navigation within the private premise. In one design, a navigation path for a destination of a vehicle may be dynamically determined based on the current configuration of the private premise and may be provided to aid navigation. | 06-23-2011 |
