Abstract: In general, the present disclosure is directed to techniques for displaying, e.g., events of multiple calendars or annotations in a word processor in a single view. In one example, a method includes, providing a first calendar and a second calendar, wherein the first calendar includes a first group of calendar events at least some of which have corresponding textual event details, and wherein the second calendar includes a second group of calendar events at least some of which have corresponding textual event details; receiving a user input to select one of the first calendar or the second calendar; displaying the one or more corresponding textual event details of the first group of calendar events for the first calendar; and displaying visual representations of the second group of calendar events for the second calendar without displaying the corresponding textual event details.

Abstract: In one example, a device includes a display, an interface configured to exchange data with external devices, a control unit configured to execute an application to cause the display to display a current visual representation of the application, determine a current application state of the application, wherein the current application state includes at least a portion of the current visual representation of the application, and means for sending, without user intervention, an indication of the determined current application state from the device to a second, different device via the interface, wherein the indication of the determined current application state comprises information for recreating at least the portion of the current visual representation of the application, wherein the control unit is configured to prevent subsequent indications of the current application state from being sent to the second device in response to an indication that a third device is executing the application.

Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, system and program products. A mobile computing device determines that the mobile computing device has physically paired with a docking system. Wireless communication between the mobile computing device and the docking system is automatically established in response to said determining that the mobile computing device has physically paired with the docking system. Data that encodes an audio signal is transmitted, by the mobile computing device and to the docking system as part of the wireless communication, so as to cause speakers of the docking system to audibly output the audio signal from the mobile computing device.

Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A mobile computing device is determined to have electrically coupled by physical contact with a docking system that is adapted to supply electrical power for charging the mobile computing device. The docking system is determined to be a first type of docking system from a plurality of types of docking systems. A first user interface profile that corresponds to the first type of docking system is selected from among a plurality of user interface profiles. Each of the plurality of user interface profiles corresponds to a respective type of docking system from the plurality of types of docking systems. The first user interface profile is presented by the mobile computing device in response to selection of the first user interface profile.

Abstract: Embodiments exploit the ability of the organism Bacillus thuringiensis to produce regularly shaped micrometer-sized crystals of Cry insect protoxins. In various embodiments, these crystals are used as a platform to generate various compositions that are useful for numerous applications.

Abstract: Cyclic bis benzimidazole ligands of the following formula are formed by contacting a (2-aminophenyl)-benzimidazole-4-carboxaldehyde ethylene acetal or a (2-nitrophenyl)-benzimidazole-4-benzaldehyde with an acid optionally in the presence of a metal or a metal salt. wherein R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are selected from H, an alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a benzyl group, a substituted 2-ethylphenyl group, a carbonyl group, a phenyl substituent, a tosyl group, and an alkylsulfonate group; R3 and R4 may be the same or different and are selected from H, methyl, and ethyl; and R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, and R18 may be the same or different and are selected from H, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitro, amino, a carboxylate, an ester, and a phenyl group.

Abstract: A process to purify and classify a dispersion containing stabilized particles having counterions and ions as well as free species is disclosed. The solution may comprise an aqueous media, a solvent media, or a combination of both and can include more than one type of aqueous and/or solvent solutions. The process includes at least the steps, in any order, of substantially removing the particles having sizes above about 1 micron, preferably above 0.5 micron; substantially removing the free species; and exchanging at least a portion of the counterions that are a part of the stabilized particles. The process disclosed is especially useful in purifying dispersions where the ionic stabilized colloidal particles are carbon black having attached organic groups comprising at least one ionic group, or at least one ionizable group, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A filter for coalescing water and removing odor from air includes a water coalescing layer made of a synthetic fiber and an odor removal layer including an adsorbent material that operatively interfaces the coalescing layer. The coalescing and removal layers are shaped to receive and expel the air. Both layers can be supported by a frame and/or an outer support layer of polyester material.
