The invention relates to systems and methods for navigating display items on a computing device in response to certain navigational inputs entered by the user of the computing device. The invention also provides for dynamically zooming and rearranging display items in response the navigational inputs.

The invention discloses a quantitative detecting method for various metabolic components in a biological sample, and a metabolic chip used for the quantitative detecting method. The quantitative detecting method is characterized in that the biological sample is subjected to derivatization treatment, and the biological sample subjected to derivatization is detected through liquid chromatography andmass spectrometry combination; and during derivatization treatment, 3-nitrophenylhydrazine serves as a derivatization reagent, and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethly carbodiimide serves as a derivatization reaction catalyst. According to the quantitative detecting method, high-sensitivity detection can be achieved, and a plurality of level-crossing metabolic components can be covered during detection, and the quantitative detecting method is simple, fast and suitable for being applied to clinical and scientific research testing. The metabolic chip comprises a chip carrier microtitration plateand related reagents, and thus the multiple level-crossing metabolites such as amino acid, phenols, phenyl or benzyl derivatives, indole, organic acid, fatty acid, sugar and bile acid in the biological samples can be subjected to quantitative detection on the same microtitration plate.

An audio and / or video generation apparatus comprises a recording processor which is operable to record audio and / or video signals on a recording medium, a meta data generation processor which is operable to generate meta data identifying the content of the audio / video signals, and a communications processor which arranged to communicate the meta data separately from the recording medium. Furthermore, the meta data generation processor may be operable to generate at least one sample image which is representative of a video image from the recorded video signals, and to associate the sample image with an address on the recording medium at which the video image is recorded. The video and / or audio generation apparatus provides an advantage in generating and utilising meta data to facilitate the generation of audio / video productions. Accordingly, a system for generating an audio and / or video production comprises an acquisition processor operable in use to receive instructions from a user which instructions are representative of a list of content items for the audio and / or video production. The audio and / or video generation apparatus is arranged in use to receive information representative of the list of content items, and to generate audio and / or video signals in accordance with the content items on the list. An ingestion processor may be provided to receive the list of content items, and the audio and / or video signals and to form the audio and / or video production by associating the audio and / or video signals with the list of content items.

QoS is built into a peer network within existing Internet infrastructure itself lacking QoS, by enabling a network peer to continuously discern the network's ability to deliver to that peer a particular Content Object (distributed in groups of component Packages among neighboring VOD peers) within predetermined times.Content Objects are divided into groups of component Packages and distributed to Clusters of neighboring network peers, enhancing QoS upon subsequent retrieval. Tracking Files (lists of network peers storing Package groups) and Tracking Indexes (lists of network peers storing Tracking Files) are generated to facilitate “on demand” Content Objects retrieval.Dynamically monitoring network traffic (including VOD functionality, bandwidth and reliability) creates “distributed closed-loop feedback,” and in response, attributes of individual network peers (e.g., Trust Level and membership within a particular Cluster) are modified, and “content balancing” functions performed (e.g., redistribution of Package groups among network peers) enables maintaining high QoS.

A temperature controlled / limiting heating element for an electrically powered cooking appliance, having: a plate with an upper contact heating surface; a pair of heating element terminals adapted for removably engaging electrical power supply terminals of the electrically powered cooking appliance; a plurality of resistive heating wires, in thermal engagement with a lower surface of the top plate, comprising: a non-cycling resistive heating wire connected in series to the heating element terminals; and a cycling resistive heating wire connected in series to the heating element terminals via a thermostat switch in thermal engagement with a lower surface of the top plate, wherein the thermostat switch is normally closed when exposed to a sensed temperature below a set temperature and the thermostat switch opens when the sensed temperature is equal to or exceeds the set temperature.

The present invention relates to managing media items in data processing terminals. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a method, a device and a computer program product for arranging, viewing and querying media items organized in hierarchical multidimensional clusters in mobile terminals. Media items are arranged by clustering with multiple dimensions, wherein they are queried by defining the first entry for one dimension, wherein the next entry is based on the other dimension from the media items fulfilling the first entry.
