摘要： A graphical user interface is provided for navigating and/or manipulating content simply via touch of a touch-sensitive surface. The content may include discrete content items (e.g., songs, video clips, documents, web pages) and/or actions (e.g., place a call, read a message, play a game), and may or may not be hierarchical in nature. The interface may be presented on a touch-screen display, such that a user may navigate to a content item or action via a single touch on the display (e.g., with a finger or other tool), followed by gliding through any number of levels or clusters of nodes (representing content items, content compilations/categories and/or actions). The desired content item or action may be initiated automatically (e.g., opened, performed) simply by touching it, by lifting the gliding finger or by performing some other input (e.g., tapping a node, speaking a command, touching with a second finger).

摘要： A refuelable electrochemical battery is provided that features three phases of operation that repeat cyclically. In an intake phase a mixture of electrochemically active particles or pellets (e.g., aluminum pellets) and a suitable electrolyte (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide) are fed into a cavity or chamber. In a power phase the resulting electrochemical reaction produces electrical energy. The particles are mechanically combined or collected to form one electrode, while a gas-diffusion membrane permeable by oxygen is another electrode. During the exhaust phase, a piston forces the residue of the reaction from the cavity in order to prepare for the next cycle of operation.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for presenting multimedia content to a caller and/or a called party in association with a telephone call. Content may be presented pre-ring (before the called party's telephone rings), in-call, and/or post-call. Content presented to a party may be related to another party participating in the call or may be related to a third party (e.g., an advertiser that paid for the ability to have its content presented). Presented content may be actuable, to allow a caller to change the destination of a call, take advantage of an offer presented to him or her, redeem a coupon, schedule or queue a subsequent call, etc. To find a desired destination party, a caller may initiate a manual or automatic search of his or her local contacts (on his telephone) and/or a central or global directory or contact list.

摘要： A refuelable electrochemical battery is provided that features three phases of operation that repeat cyclically. In an intake phase a mixture of electrochemically active particles or pellets (e.g., aluminum pellets) and a suitable electrolyte (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide) are fed into a cavity or chamber. In a power phase the resulting electrochemical reaction produces electrical energy. The particles are mechanically combined or collected to form one electrode, while a gas-diffusion membrane permeable by oxygen is another electrode. During the exhaust phase, a piston forces the residue of the reaction from the cavity in order to prepare for the next cycle of operation.
