Abstract: An enhanced electronic program guide for television programming may be provided by including at least one displayable indicator that is associated with at least one of the programs in the electronic program guide and indicative of the genre of the at least one of the programs. The displayable indicator may be displayed with the program in the electronic program guide, and thus may be more informative to a user, particularly for programs for which the electronic program guide provides a truncated title or name as displayed. In embodiments, the displayable indicator may be a color, a symbol, an icon or the like. Additionally, embodiments may include a displayable indicator, such as an icon, for programs of a particular program series. Such an icon may be displayed with programs of the series in the electronic program guide, and thus may facilitate identification of programs of interest to a user.

Abstract translation: 可以通过包括与电子节目指南中的至少一个节目相关联的至少一个可显示指示符并指示该节目中的至少一个的类型来提供用于电视节目的增强的电子节目指南。 可显示的指示符可以与程序一起显示在电子节目指南中，因此可以对用户更具信息性，特别是对于电子节目指南提供所显示的截断标题或名称的节目。 在实施例中，可显示指示符可以是颜色，符号，图标等。 另外，实施例可以包括用于特定节目序列的节目的可显示指示符，诸如图标。 这样的图标可以与电子节目指南中的系列节目一起显示，并且因此可以有助于识别用户感兴趣的节目。

Abstract: A data processing system includes a control computer which controls and monitors a cooling subsystem. The control computer has a non-volatile memory holding two status logs for recording stautus data and fault information. One of the logs is selected as the current log. If a fault condition is detected, the control computer writes fault information into the current log and then, if the other log is unlocked, locks the current log and selects the other log as the current log. In response to a "request locked log" command, the control computer transmits the contents of the locked log. In response to an "unlock" command, the control computer unlocks the locked log and then, if the other log contains fault information, locks that other log. The system thus provides an efficient mechanism for ensuring that the fault information is maintained, even through system powerdown.
