20090012962 | SMART STORE AND FORWARD DBMS STATEMENT COLLATING SYSTEM - One or more embodiments of the invention enable a smart store and forward DBMS statement collating system. The system may be utilized with any database implementation by coupling computer readable program code to the interface layer of the database, generally the lowest layer of software that accesses the database. The system can be utilized with complex transactional code that insulates a user from programming complex collating logic. Hence a user that employs an embodiment of the system is unaware that database operations within a transaction are collated into silos with like table and field usage and flushed to the database as part of a database block operation. The order in which operations occur allows for high priority table inserts to occur before low priority table inserts to maintain referential integrity, while low priority table deletes occur before high priority table deletes for the same reason. | 01-08-2009 |

20080252100 | ROOF RACK CROSS BAR RISE UP FEATURE - A roof rack having movable cross bars that have a low profile when aligned with the side bars, but are raised when generally perpendicular to the side bars. The height variation is achieved using ribs that are provided on a bottom side of the cross bars. When the cross bars are aligned with the side bars, the ribs fit into slots that are provided in the side bars. As a result, each cross bar has a very low profile with respect to the roof of the vehicle. When each cross bar is rotated to a position generally perpendicular to the side bars, the ribs within the cross bar are no longer aligned with the slots in the side bar. Instead, the ribs rest on an upper surface of the side bar, and thus, provide a significant gap between the cross bar and vehicle roof. | 10-16-2008 |

20130326398 | METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY MODIFYING ZOOM LEVEL TO FACILITATE NAVIGATION ON A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - Embodiments herein include a scroll manager that provides a mechanism for scrolling that includes automatic zooming or resizing during a scrolling operation. In response to receiving a scroll input, the scroll manager automatically reduces a graphical display size of electronic content to a second graphical display size while simultaneously moving the electronic content across a display area in a given direction. An initial layout of the electronic content is maintained during scrolling operations. By using less vertical space a given page or document containing the content does not need to travel as far vertically on the display screen to display more content. Because the display difference is a shorter linear display distance, this scrolling functionality provides a finer-grained control when scrolling more electronic content. Location during scrolling operations can be identified by visual context, thereby improving scroll navigation efficiency and control. | 12-05-2013 |

Content providing such an indication is termed “version-aware content” and allows a player to recognize that a newer player version exists. Version-aware content may be interpreted to provide a user with a message indicating that there is a newer version available. In another example, a player may automatically update based on the version-aware content's indication that a newer player exists. Content created to be compatible with older player versions can be created as version-aware content. Similarly, existing content can be modified to be version-aware content. In both cases, distribution of such content can encourage player updates and thus more rapid proliferation of a newer player version. | 09-04-2014 |
