Implantable devices and methods for the repair of a defective cardiac valve are provided. The implantable devices include an annuloplasty ring and a restraining and/or a remodeling structure or mechanism. The annuloplasty ring functions to reestablish the normal size and shape of the annulus bringing the leaflet in proximity to each other. A device having a remodeling structure further facilitates remodeling of the valve but allows the use of a flexible ring. The restraining structure functions to restrain the abnormal motion of at least a portion of the valve being repaired. The restraining and remodeling structures may include at least one strut across the interior of the circumference of the ring.

A computer-human interface manages the available space of a computer display in a manner which reduces clutter and confusion caused by multiple open windows. The interface includes a user-selectable mode of operation in which only those windows associated with the currently active task are displayed on the computer monitor. All other windows relating to non-active tasks are minimized by reducing them in size or replacing them with a representative symbol, such as an icon, so that they occupy a minimal amount of space on the monitor's screen. When a user switches from the current task to a new task, by selecting a minimized window, the windows associated with the current task are automatically minimized as the window pertaining to the new task is displayed at its normal size. As a result, the user is only presented with the window that relates to the current task of interest, and clutter provided by non-active tasks is removed.

The invention provides a method for switching the size of an image displayed on a touch screen between a full-screen size and a normal size.

The user interface includes a first level, where a plurality of application icons are previously defined, and a second level wherein the image is previously defined. When the image is displayed on the touch screen in the full-screen size, the image covers the application icons which are not closed.

A narrow mode navigation pane is provided that may be selectively displayed as a replacement of a normal mode or full-size navigation pane to allow more computer display space for displaying other user interface content. The narrow mode navigation pane is divided into sections, and each section may include one or more selectable controls for providing data or functionality previously displayed in and selectable from the normal mode navigation pane. Selection of a “Navigation Pane” control causes the temporary display of a pop-up version of the normal mode navigation pane for allowing a user to view and/or select the full contents of the normal size navigation pane without toggling to the normal mode navigation pane. Other sections of the narrow mode navigation pane may include selectable controls representing a useful subset of controls normally populated in the normal mode pane. Additional sections of the narrow mode navigation pane may provide selectable controls for launching other software applications and associated user interfaces.

A method and implementing computer system are provided for enabling a display of selective context-sensitive input-related field information concerning selected fields within a displayed information input form. In one exemplary embodiment, a field in which a cursor is placed, is enlarged relative to the remainder of the form to facilitate input to the selected field while maintaining an overall view of the remainder of the displayed form. Information is then input into the enlarged window and upon movement of the cursor to a different field, the enlarged view of the previous field is returned to normal size within the displayed form with the information input to the enlarged window being retained in the appropriate field within the form. In another embodiment, context or field-sensitive input format information and other required aspects of input information are selectively displayed in windows which are selectively positioned relative to the current input field. In an exemplary embodiment, a user is enabled to use a selection screen function to pre-determine preferred options with regard to the placement of the field-sensitive format information relative to the current input field.

A method of compensating a missing nozzle of a printer and a printer using the same. The method includes determining adjacent nozzles corresponding to the missing nozzle, and compensating the missing nozzle by generating dots having an increased size through the adjacent nozzles and generating dots having a normal size through other nozzles when the missing nozzle is generated in the nozzles performing a printing operation. Therefore, it is possible to compensate operations of all color nozzles as well as the black nozzle. As a result, the method of compensating the missing nozzle of the printer compensates operations of the missing nozzle when an image having a composite color is printed as well as when the black image is printed. In addition, it is possible to maintain appropriate image quality by compensating the operation of the missing nozzle through other adjacent nozzles even when a portion of the adjacent nozzles is out of order, since the number of the adjacent nozzles is larger.

An image is generated which is able to upload to a weblog site as it is from a photographing apparatus. A conversion section converts an original image obtained by a shutter operation of a CCD to have a size for a blog image. A file control section generates a blog image by converting the image after the conversion process by the conversion section to have a predetermined file format. A folder control section stores a blog image in a blog folder, and also stores a normal image having a normal size in a normal folder. A blog posting section sends the blog image stored in the blog folder to a blog server in response to a determination of a communicable state with the blog server.

A system and method for facilitating user entry of a manually-adjustable data setting in an aircraft cockpit normally presents an image of the data setting on the display at a predetermined size. When the user commences to manipulate a control for manually adjusting the data setting, the imaged data setting on the display is automatically enlarged to a predeterminately enlarged size to thereby unambiguously direct the user's attention to the imaged data setting to be adjusted. The imaged data setting on the display is returned from its enlarged size to its normal size when user manipulation of the control has ceased, preferably a predetermined time interval after such user manipulation has ceased.

The invention provides a liquid crystal display module, which comprises a backlight module, a liquid crystal display panel and a front frame, wherein the front frame is arranged on the liquid crystal display panel which is disposed on the backlight module. The backlight module comprises a middle frame made of elastic materials, and the liquid crystal display panel is arranged on the middle frame. The middle frame made of elastic materials has better buffer capacity to enable the liquid crystal display panel to be tightly matched with the middle frame, and accordingly when the liquid crystal display panel is heated to expand, the middle frame is elastically deformed without extruding the liquid crystal display panel, and when an external environment returns to normal, the liquid crystal display panel returns to normal size, and the middle frame is recovered from elastic deformation and still in tight fit with the liquid crystal display panel. Damage, breakage and the like of the liquid crystal display panel caused by resile failure of a plastic middle frame in the prior art are avoided, and the middle frame is short in manufacturing cycle and low in cost as compared with the injection molded plastic middle frame.
