Graphical tuning bar for a multi-program data stream

A computer based graphical user interface for facilitating the selection and display of transmitted audio, video and data includes a main menu state with a first multi-segment display having an active video / audio segment and a tuning segment. The active video segment displays a currently tuned program and the tuning segment includes an elongated graphic bar. The elongated graphic bar is dynamically sub-divided into a plurality of contiguous regions so that each of the regions uniquely corresponds to a program parsed from a multi-program data stream. The tuning segment also includes a graphic slider that overlays the graphic bar and that is movable along the length of the graphic bar so that the currently tuned program corresponds to the portion of the graphic bar underlying the current position of the graphic slider.

Techniques for automatically providing a high-resolution rendering of a low resolution digital image in a distributed network

In one embodiment, a method of providing a recipient of a low-resolution digital image a way to automatically obtain a high-resolution rendering of the digital image is disclosed. In one embodiment, in a distributed system having a first node coupled to a second node, a method of outputting at the first node a composited digital image at a selected resolution is disclosed. At the second node, the composited digital image at a first resolution is generated and the composited digital image is then converted to a second resolution. The converted composited digital image is then transferred to the first node where the selected resolution is determined. If the selected resolution is the first resolution then the composited digital image is fetched and the composited digital image is then output at the first resolution. If, however, it is determined that the selected resolution is the second resolution, then the composited digital image is output at the at the second resolution.

Polarizing element, optical element, and liquid crystal display

A polarizing element and an optical element are provided that can form a semitransparent or other type of liquid crystal display which is excellent in contrast in a reflective display mode and also is excellent in luminance in a transmissive display mode utilizing a reflective polarizing plate. A polarizing element comprising a reflective polarizing plate and an absorptive polarizer, wherein the reflective polarizing plate separates an incident natural light into a reflected light and a transmitted light each comprising a polarized light, and the absorptive polarizer is arranged on one side of the reflective polarizing plate so as to transmit a polarized light comprising the transmitted light. Also, an optical element comprising this polarizing element; and (a) a quarter wavelength plate or (b) an absorptive polarizing plate and a quarter wavelength plate arranged on the side of the absorptive polarizer in the polarizing element, wherein the absorptive polarizing plate has an axial relation so as to transmit a polarized light transmitted through the absorptive polarizer. While accomplishing the function as a semitransparent reflective polarizer utilizing the reflective polarizing plate, in a transmissive display mode, high luminance display can be achieved with high contrast, and in a reflective display mode, unnecessary reflected light (returned light) of an external light can be absorbed and cut off efficiently.
