20080199915Methods and Kits For Mass Production Of Dsrna - The invention relates to methods and kits for propagating target nucleic acid in the form of double stranded RNA. This invention relates in particular to a method for mass production of dsRNA. The method comprises that a target nucleic acid is provided in a form replicable by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in a living cell, said replicable form of the target nucleic acid is contacted with said polymerase under conditions sufficient for template-directed RNA synthesis, wherein one of the reaction products is necessarily double-stranded (ds) RNA and said dsRNA products are recovered in a sufficiently pure form. The dsRNA products can be used in various applications, for example in gene silencing.08-21-2008

20080270556Contact-based communication threading system - A method of displaying messages received from or sent to communication devices includes displaying a list of all communication devices from which at least one stored message has been received or to which at least one stored message has been sent, selecting a communication device from the list of communication devices, displaying a list of stored messages received from and sent to the selected communication device.10-30-2008
20080270931Touch-based tab navigation method and related device - A method of navigating between different tabs in a user interface of a portable digital information device includes displaying a first set of tabs sequentially arranged along a linear direction on a display of the portable digital information device, the first set of tabs containing tabs that are a subset of tabs contained in a master set of tabs. A user then touches a touch-sensitive area of the portable digital information device and drags a finger across the touch-sensitive area in a direction parallel to the linear direction in which the first set of tabs are sequentially arranged. This dragging motion causes the position of the tabs displayed along the linear direction of the display to move in a direction opposite to the direction along which the user drags the finger across the touch-sensitive area for displaying a second set of tabs containing tabs.10-30-2008
20080273109PORTABLE DEVICE WITH INTERACTIVE DISPLAY AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION CAPABILITY - A portable device having geographical location technology includes: a camera, for capturing an image; a wireless access circuit for accessing a geographical database to generate information according to the geographical location technology of the portable device; a display screen, for displaying at least the image and the generated information, the display screen comprising: a location bar, comprising at least one location point, each location point corresponding to at least one point of interest in a displayed image; and a processing circuit, coupled to the camera, the wireless access circuit, and the display screen, for controlling operations of the camera, the wireless access circuit, and the display screen.11-06-2008
20080276164Automatic Download of Contact-Related Web Data Feeds - A method for processing data feeds within a entity management application of a mobile device includes configuring a data feed for an entity in the entity management application of the mobile device, retrieving contents of the data feed for the entity, formatting the contents of the data feed to thereby generate formatted contents for displaying on the mobile device, and displaying the formatted contents within the entity management application. A related mobile device includes a processor and a display, where the processor is for configuring a data feed for an entity in the entity management application of the mobile device, for retrieving contents of the data feed for the entity, and for formatting the contents of the data feed to thereby generate formatted contents for displaying on the mobile device, and the display is for displaying the formatted contents within the entity management application.11-06-2008

20110191685METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A USER INTERFACE FOR ACCESSING MULTIMEDIA ITEMS ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A system and method for providing a user interface for accessing multimedia items using an electronic device determines a set of first level categories based on multimedia items associated with the electronic device. The system determines second level category graphics and first level category graphics corresponding to the set of first level categories. The first level category graphics are generated based on one or more of the second level category graphics associated with the first level category. The system then displays a first view that comprises some or all of the first level category graphics. In response to a user input selecting a particular first level category graphic, the system shows a second view that simultaneously displays first level category graphics and second level category graphics associated with the selected first level category. In response to a user input selecting a second level category, the system then displays information relating to a multimedia item associated with the selected second level category.08-04-2011
