20090327222 | DYNAMIC SELECTION OF MEDIA FOR PLAYBACK - A list of media, such as image media, is dynamically generated and provided to a user. The dynamically generated media playlist may be associated with a user's “favorite pictures,” “favorite music” or some other type of media. Each of the “favorite media” features may be associated with playlist criteria, which is used to dynamically construct a query for media files to include on the playlist. The criteria may specify several requirements for including media in the dynamically created playlist, for example user rating, recently added media, and other criteria. The query is sent to a database, which returns a playlist of media. The returned playlist is provided to a media center, which retrieves and provides the listed media to a user. | 12-31-2009 |

20090007007 | Turbo-scroll mode for rapid data item selection - Described is a scrolling technology including a turbo-scroll mode that is automatically entered to increase the rate of scrolling through a set of items, (e.g., media content). The turbo-scroll mode may be triggered by holding down a scroll button for a period of time. In the turbo-scroll mode, visual cues are provided to assist the user in knowing a current relative position within the set of items. The visual cues may correspond to text metadata, such as letters indicative of an alphabetic position of scrolling, displaying a list or filtered sub-list of label data for items proximate the scroll position, a graphical position indicator, a channel indicator or time indicator for an electronic program guide, fading the electronic program guide into a background representation thereof, and/or providing at least two letters indicative of an alphabetic position of scrolling through the items. | 01-01-2009 |

Representations (e.g., images) of data items for are displayed, including a representation of one data item at a fixed (e.g., centered) selection position. Scrolling among the items is accomplished by moving representations of the data items relative to the fixed selection position. Scrolling may be substantially horizontal or vertical, and the item representation in the selection position may be highlighted relative to other item representations, such as via its relative size, opacity and/or color. Metadata also may be displayed in association with the representation of the data item at the fixed selection position. | 01-01-2009 |

20090317964 | PLATEN FOR REDUCING PARTICLE CONTAMINATION ON A SUBSTRATE AND A METHOD THEREOF - Techniques for reducing particle contamination on a substrate are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized with a platen having different regions, where the pressure levels in the regions may be substantially equal. For example, the platen may comprise a platen body comprising first and second recesses, the first recess defining a fluid region for holding fluid for maintaining a temperature of the substrate at a desired temperature, the second recess defining a first cavity for holding a ground circuit; a first via defined in the platen body, the first via having first and second openings, the first opening proximate to the fluid region and the second opening proximate to the first cavity, wherein pressure level of the fluid region may be maintained at a level that is substantially equal to pressure level of the first cavity. | 12-24-2009 |
20120200980 | TRIBOELECTRIC CHARGE CONTROLLED ELECTROSTATIC CLAMP - An electrostatic clamp which more effectively removes built up charge from a substrate prior to removal is disclosed. Currently, the lift pins and the ground pins are the only mechanism used to remove charge from the substrate after implantation. The present discloses describes an electrostatic chuck in which the top dielectric surface has an embedded conductive region, such as a ring shaped conductive region in the sealing ring. Thus, regardless of the orientation of the substrate during release, at least a portion of the substrate will contain the conductive region on the dielectric layer of the workpiece support. This conductive region may be connected to ground through the use of conductive vias in the dielectric layer. In some embodiments, these conductive vias are the fluid conduits used to supply gas to the back side of the substrate. | 08-09-2012 |
