Abstract: An example processor-implemented method for adjusting screen orientation of a display associated with a device with the present disclosure includes establishing connection between the display unit and a plurality of devices. The plurality of instances run on the plurality of devices. The method also includes displaying simultaneously on the display screen of the display unit the plurality of instances.

Abstract: In one example implementation, a computing device displays a first application window and second application window adjacent to each other in a multi-application viewing area. The computing device detects a gesture in either an upper gesture detection area or a lower gesture detection area and controls either the first application window or second application window based on the gesture.

Abstract: An example processor-implemented method for adjusting screen orientation of a display associated with a device with the present disclosure is identifying a request for a new profile, the new profile being created in the device, requesting a selection of a screen orientation for the new profile, adjusting the orientation of the display for the new profile based on the screen orientation selection, and manage applications on the device based on the screen orientation selection.

Abstract: Examples relate to extending hardware support for sensors embedded in peripherals. In some examples, a driver is used to determine that a peripheral device includes a sensor in response to the peripheral device being attached to a mobile computing device, where the driver is preloaded in an operating system kernel of the mobile computing device. Next, a list of supported hardware features is updated to include a peripheral hardware feature that is provided by a sensor of the peripheral device, and the list of supported hardware features is sent to an application store server. At this stage, a list of available applications that are compatible with the list of supported hardware features is received from the application store server.

Abstract: An example method for controlling the orientation of a display screen of a computing device is provided in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure. The method includes identifying a request for a change of an orientation of a screen in a device from a first screen orientation to a second screen orientation. The request may be sent by a mobile application. The method further includes determining whether the device has an ability to rotate the screen to the second orientation, canceling the request for change of the orientation of the screen, and adjusting the resolution of the screen to emulate rotation of the screen to the second orientation while remaining in the first orientation.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to interacting with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) touchscreen. In example implementations, a selection of an area of a SAW touchscreen may be received. A plurality of ultrasonic waves may be transmitted to the SAW touchscreen. The plurality of ultrasonic waves may disrupt sound waves, that are propagating across the SAW touchscreen, in substantially the same manner as physically touching the SAW touchscreen at the selected area.

Abstract: An administrator selects a logical server for deployment. In response, a logical-server management program displays representations of potential real-server targets for said logical server. The representations include respective ratings for the real-server targets. The representations further include indications of a real-server technology involved in deploying said logical server to a respect real-server target.

Abstract: A logical-server manager provides for deployment of a logical server to a real server so a network identity of said logical server and a network identity of said real server are conformed.

Abstract: Illustrated is a system and method to retrieve a list that includes at least one contact, from a social network platform. The system and method to build a contact object for the at least one contact, the contact object including an avatar representing the at least one contact. Additionally, the system and method to retrieve update data for the at least one contact object over a period of time. Further, the system and method to display the avatar and the update data associated with the at least one contact object.

Abstract: A device including a sensor to detect a holding position of a user of the device, an orientation sensor to detect an orientation of the device, and a controller to render an input panel on at least one location of a display device based on the holding position of the user and the orientation of the device.
