Publication number: 20130318435Abstract: Various embodiments can be used to process packages or documents that contain markup language describing one or more documents. Markup language descriptions can be processed to identify certain objects that reoccur or are repeated in the markup language description. If a re-occurring or repeating object is encountered in the markup language description, a resource dictionary can be used to catalog such objects and, an associated object model can include, from the resource dictionary, references to a re-occurring or repeating object. By using the resource dictionary as such, memory resources can be conserved when an in-memory representation of the object model is built.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2013Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Feng Yuan, Arindam Basask, Ahmet Gurcan, Matthew E.

Publication number: 20130107289Abstract: Techniques for determining how to perform a rasterization of printing data. A rasterization facility may receive from a printer driver a request to rasterize printing data in a page description language (PDL) format. The rasterization facility may select a processing unit on which to rasterize the printing data, which may include determining whether to invoke a GPU or a CPU to perform the rasterization. When the GPU is selected, the CPU and GPU may be operated concurrently to perform rasterization. For example, while the GPU is rasterizing a first portion of the printing data, the CPU may determine a next portion to be rasterized, such that the next portion may be made available to the GPU when the GPU is ready to rasterize another portion. The rasterization facility may also convert printing elements of the printing data to a target color space.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Lukasz Konrad Brodzinski, Zabir Hoque, Anthony Martin Presley, Kanwal VedBrat, Herman Widjaja, Ahmet Gurcan

Patent number: 7853869Abstract: Semantic objects are created that provide a structure for markup language representations of documents. The semantic objects include text runs that are produced from the markup language representation and that are placed into semantic blocks that group text runs according to how text is logically structured in the document being represented. The text runs of each semantic block are ordered to correspond to the logical order of the document being represented. The semantic blocks corresponding to each page of the document being represented are ordered to correspond to the logical order of the document being represented. The ordered semantic blocks including the ordered text runs are saved as a semantic object which can they be utilized to make use of the logical structure of the document being represented by the markup language.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2005Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ahmet Gurcan, Eric Stanfield Leese, Jerry Jay Dunietz, Oliver Foehr, Jesse McGatha, Khaled Sedky, Ming Liu, Rodrigo Lopez

Patent number: 7836399Abstract: Various technologies and techniques detect lists in vector graphics based documents and use them in meaningful ways. The system detects at least one list in a vector graphics based document using a set of rules. Pattern detection logic identifies characters, symbols, numbers, letters, and/or images that may start a list. Additional pattern detection logic determines if a list exists. The system can identify and parse bulleted lists, numbered or lettered lists, and nested lists that are any combination of both. Once identified, the content is translated into a modified format. The content can be output to a destination application in the modified format that is more suitable for output or use by the destination application.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ahmet Gurcan, Eric S.
