The efficient and intuitive presentation, navigation, and selection of available AV information in a graphical user interface (GUI) that is displayed on a display apparatus of an AV system and controlled through user manipulation of a scrolling mechanism of a navigation and selection device of the AV system. Related AV information is organized as items within lists that correspond to various navigable fields of a status bar of the GUI during the GUI interactive mode. A highlighted navigable field of the status bar displays its list of related AV information and the items of the list are scrolled through the navigable field by a user causing the scrolling mechanism to move in a scroll. A different field of the status bar may be selected by the user moving the scrolling mechanism in a lateral movement. Activation of the selection mechanism of the navigation and selection device will cause an AV device of the system to be controlled in accordance with the AV options displayed within the status bar fields at the time the selection mechanism is activated.

Effective bandwidth of a communication link is determined in a heterogeneous, packet switched network between a source and a destination, where effective bandwidth is defined as the actual available bandwidth between the server and the client, minus the overhead of the various network protocols used to transmit the data. The method includes measuring transmission times between the source and a destination for a plurality data segments having different characteristics, such as different sized files or subfiles of data; processing the transmission times to cancel effects of transmission latencies other than the different characteristics of the data segments; and indicating a bandwidth based on said processing. The processing is done in parallel with the return of user resources to the destination, and using a bandwidth detection engine associated with a proxy server.

When a power switch portion 10 is in an open state and a charge/discharge path of the secondary battery 100 is in a disconnected state, an electromotive force calculation portion 109 calculates a battery electromotive force Veq by subtracting a polarized voltage Vpol stored in a polarized voltage storage portion 113 from an open-circuit voltage OCV measured by a voltage measurement portion 102. Based on the electromotive force, a state-of-charge estimation portion 110 estimates a state of charge SOC. Thus, a polarized voltage to be considered for the estimation of SOC can be limited. The state of charge (SOC) of a secondary battery can be estimated with high accuracy and quickly.

The invention includes mini-preps, preferably of plasmid and chromosomal DNA to obtain sequenceable and restriction digestible DNA in high yields in multiple simultaneous procedures. As a method of assay, a labeled probe is precipitated by hybridizing it to a target, (erg. chromosomal DNA, oligonucleotides, Ribosomal RNA, tRNA), and thereafter precipitating the probe/target complex with compaction agents and leaving in solution any unhybridized probe.

A belt fuser assembly for a color EP printer that quickly warms up the fusing belt before allowing a first sheet of print media to run through the printing stations at the fuser assembly. The warm-up cycle includes: (1) a preheat mode, (2) a first portion of a belt temperature warm-up mode, (3) a second portion of the belt temperature warm-up mode, and (4) a tight belt temperature control mode. The preheat mode operates the fuser's heater at less than full power, and prevents the fuser belt from rotating. The first portion of the belt temperature warm-up mode operates the heater at full power, and the fuser belt begins rotating, but not at its full speed. The second portion of the belt temperature warm-up mode operates the heater at less than full power, and the fuser belt begins rotating at its full speed.

An islanding detection and protection method of a parallel-type power converter is proposed, which performs perturbation to a power system to detect the frequency of the system voltage and the variation of the magnitude of the negative-sequence voltage as the basis for deciding the occurrence of an islanding operation. When the system operates normally, the frequency or phase and magnitude of the system voltage and the magnitude of the negative-sequence voltage won't be affected by the perturbation. On the other hand, if an islanding operation occurs, this perturbation will cause an apparent drift of the frequency or phase and magnitude of the system voltage and the magnitude of the negative-sequence voltage. Through detection of this apparent drift, the perturbation can be amplified by means of positive feedback to quickly detect the islanding operation phenomenon and trigger the protection mechanism.

A method and apparatus for determining the wear resistance of the surface of a sample object includes an abrasive grinding belt, run between the sample object and a counter-body, with the grinding belt being pressed against the sample object with a predetermined force by the counter-body. The position of the counter-body is determined at, at least, a first position and a second position, each occurring at two different points in time. The wear resistance of the surface of the sample object is determined from the difference in determined positions.
