Abstract: This specification describes technologies relating to execution of applications and the management of an application's access to other applications. In general, a method can include loading a first application, designated to a first isolation environment, including first instructions using the first isolation environment provided by an application execution environment. A second application including second instructions is loaded using the first isolation environment despite the second application being designated to a second isolation environment provided by the application execution environment. The first application is prevented from modifying the second instructions of the second application. Data is processed using the first instructions of the first application and the second instructions of the second application, where the first instructions reference the second instructions. Information based on results of the processing is outputted.

Abstract: Downloading resources according to a priority is disclosed. A feed document is retrieved. A feed document represents time-variant chunks of published content. The feed document is parsed to extract one or more references to a downloadable resource. A downloadable resource is a type of content identified by a reference within the feed document. A priority level is assigned to each reference. Priority levels may be assigned in a variety of ways, such as through a size of a resource identified by a reference or a file type of a resource. Priority levels may also be assigned to nestable resources and one or more resources contained therein. Resources for each extracted reference are then downloaded according to the assigned priority levels. A resource for a reference with a higher assigned priority level is downloaded before a resource for a reference with a lower assigned priority level.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide a mechanism to print documents having artwork with overlapping inks. One aspect of the systems and methods includes sending the document to a printer having a printer control system. The printer control system detects overlapping areas, and flattens the artwork into separate atomic regions. The system determines whether the colors in the atomic regions are available on the printer as process colors or spot colors. Unavailable spot colors are converted to process colors, and blended into a single process color. Available spot colors are retained.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for a media tagger that obtains a media project defined according to a native representation. The media project is made up of project objects and the native representation describes each project object's context within the media project. The media tagger receives an exportable media object, encoded according to an output format, which can include logical contributions from the project object(s). The media tagger tags the exportable media object and stores the exportable media object in a media catalogue. The media tagger acknowledges the selection of a desired output format to create a formatted media project based on the native representation of the media project. Upon validating that the exportable media object in the media catalogue can be used to build the formatted media project, the media tagger exports the exportable media object from the media catalogue.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for indicating scroll position on a display is presented. A movement event requiring movement of content within a display area is identified. A location indicator is displayed at a first content location relative to content within the display area, the location indicator identifying that the first content location will remain visible on the display in response to the movement event. During movement of the content within the display area, a corresponding movement of the location indicator relative to the first content location is provided as the first content location moves with the content within the display area.

Abstract: Systems and methods for editing of a computer-generated animation across a plurality of keyframe pairs are provided. Embodiments enable time editing across a plurality of non-roving keyframe pairs. Such non-roving keyframes have fixed references relative to an animation's reference timeline. An author may specify a point on an animation's reference timeline at which each non-roving keyframe is placed. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, an animation across a plurality of non-roving keyframes is treated as an editable unit. Thus, an author may modify the timing for all or a select portion of such editable unit (which may span a plurality of the non-roving keyframes). For instance, an author may expand or reduce the time span for a plurality of non-roving keyframes, and the timing of the plurality of non-roving keyframes automatically adjusts to maintain their timing proportionality relative to each other in the resulting modified time span.

Abstract: A method of locking exclusive access to a divided computer resource that may be access by more than one different is disclosed. A computer resource that is divided into more than one piece may require exclusive access to all the individual portions before the computer resource may be used. If more than one client system attempts to access such a divided computer resource, a deadlock situation may occur. To prevent such a deadlock situation, each client that attempts to access the divided resource will issue a globally unique identifier to the divided resource. If more than one client system attempts to access portions of the same computer resource then the globally unique identifier will be used to arbitrate disputes and thus prevent deadlock.
