The present invention provides a mobile device ecosystem that is simpler than existing options for all of its participants regardless of their role or business model. The ecosystem includes a mobile device and operating software development kit and store, both of which are implemented as web-based services such that creation, testing, and distribution of customized mobile devices, as well as discovery, investigation, and delivery of same, can all be performed using a standard web browser. The device development kit offers such capabilities as simply personalizing the exterior decoration of an existing device, designing the physical form factor of a device incorporating existing electronic components, and even creating new electronic components for incorporation in multiple device designs. The operating software development kit offers such capabilities as rearranging or redrawing the user interface for existing devices, or designing entirely new complete operating systems usable across multiple target device brands or brand groups. The device and operating software store is also not specific to any mobile device brand or brand group, and integrates with both branded and independent application stores. Further, the web-based development kit and store are integrated with one another such that creation of new devices, operating software packages, and applications can be accelerated by incorporation or customization of existing items or components thereof. In addition, the development kit incorporates tools for creating and embodying logic, interfaces, data, form factors, and functionality which can be used intuitively by all people, including children and adults who are not skilled software or hardware developers, while at the same time offering compatible advanced capabilities to those who are so skilled. Finally, the ecosystem itself includes features that facilitate communication, interaction, community, and sharing among and between creators, users, and other interested parties.

An actuation system for a friction clutch installed in the drive train of a motor vehicle between a drive unit and a transmission includes a pressure medium-powered cylinder assembly and a pilot / automatic control valve assembly. An auxiliary actuating assembly includes an auxiliary actuating valve assembly, which can be switched into a pressure medium feed position, wherein the pressure medium-powered cylinder assembly can be connected with the pressure medium source or with a separate auxiliary pressure medium source for emergency actuation of the clutch, and into a pressure medium discharge position, wherein the cylinder assembly can be connected with a pressure compensation port or with a pressure compensation tank.

A craft apron for keeping knitting and crocheting components together, for providing easy access to the components by a knitter and a crocheter and for storing and for carrying the knitting and crocheting components. A first member having a pleated portion and a second member having a hem. The second member joined to the first member to define a pouch. A closure disposed on the first member. The closure has a fastener for fastening the closure to the hem for opening and closing the craft apron. A tie cooperating with the hem. The craft apron is adjustable. A width adjustment is provided with a cord lock by gathering the hem; the cord lock cooperating with the tie and a length adjustment is accomplished with a snap fastener. The craft apron may be worn about the waist of a crafter and carried as a tote bag.

A wristwatch comprising a main unit associated in removable manner with a seating prepared on a support and / or positioning element, which is in turn associated with an attachment element to attach it to the user's wrist. The main unit incorporates both the normal functions of a watch and also the function of an earphone.

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for storing variables in a non-volatile computer memory are provided. The computer-readable medium has a data structure stored thereon that includes a first data field for storing a variable record including a header and variable information. The data structure also includes a second data field for storing a GUID for the variable. The variable record may comprise a full record or a data only record. A full record contains all of the identifying information for the record and the variable value. A data only record includes only an updated value for the variable. When a request is received to retrieve the variable value, the data structure is searched to locate the most recently created record for the variable. The value stored in this record is then returned in response to the request. Periodically, a garbage collection process may be performed to reduce the records stored for each variable to a single full record.

A 3D video device (40,50) is provided for processing a three dimensional [3D] video signal for avoiding visual disturbances during displaying on a 3D display (63). The 3D video signal comprises a left view and a right view for generating a 3D effect. The invention involves recognizing and solving a so-called dirty window effect, i.e. the problem that correlation between noise in both views results in the 3D noise being perceived on a particular depth. The video processor (42,52,53) is arranged for processing the 3D video data in dependence of at least one amount of visual disturbances to be expected during displaying of the 3D video data due to correlation of coding noise between said views for reducing said correlation of coding noise. The device has transfer means (46,55) for transferring the processed 3D video data for displaying on the 3D display. Also a 3D video signal (41) and a record carrier are provided.
