Abstract: A method of rendering a document described in a page description language, is disclosed. The document comprising a plurality of images is received. An intermediate graphical representation of the document is formed based on image metadata for the images, the intermediate graphical representation being subdivided into a plurality of tiles. Image data of one of the images is received to render the intermediate graphical representation. A tile of the intermediate graphical representation touched by the received image is identified, in response to receiving the image data. The identified tile is marked for rendering based on a number of the received images for the identified tile compared to a determined number of images contributing to the identified tile, the number of images contributing to the tile being determined using image metadata of the images. The document is rendered using the marked tile.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for pre-processing layered images prior to compression and distribution. According to some embodiments, a technique can include accessing at least two images of a layered image: (i) a background image, and (ii) one or more layer images. Next, a flattened image is generated based on the at least two images. Next, respective one or more delta layer images are generated for the one or more layer images by: for at least one pixel of each layer image having (i) an alpha sub-pixel set to fully opaque, and (ii) a first color property equivalent to a second color property of a corresponding pixel within the flattened image: setting bits of the first color property of the pixel to the same value (e.g., zero (0) or one (1)). Finally, the one or more delta layer images are compressed and provided to a destination computing device.

Abstract: An architectural software model in which browser-executable code and non-browser executable code of an application are distributed. The browser-executable code (such as markup language and script) is executed by a browser on perhaps a client machine, whilst the non-browser executable code (such as C# code as an example) is executed on a server or by a service. Such code typically is included within a single desktop application with an interoperability component operating between. The browser-executable code is able to communicate with the non-browser executable code using a request-response protocol. In order to facilitate communication with the non-browser-executable code, the non-browser executable code is provided in an environment that includes a request translator and a response translator. The environment includes an interface which honors the request/response protocol followed by the browser-executable code.

Abstract: A data structure is generated containing enumerators for data types of a domain, text forms of the enumerators and context patterns for the text forms. The data structure also includes information extraction rules that are associated with the enumerators. The data structure is updated with additional context patterns and text forms that are identified within a set of documents to which text analytic annotators are to be tuned. The set of documents are analyzed against the updated data structure and additional extraction rules are generated based on the analysis.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus that serves as a display that displays a list of processes executed by applications includes a list display controller and an operation screen display controller. The list display controller causes, for each of the processes, an operator to be displayed in the list, the operator being provided for displaying an operation screen for performing operation of a function that is specific to corresponding one of the applications. The operation screen display controller causes the operation screen provided for the operator to be displayed when the operator is operated in the list.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for selecting page layouts based upon an outcome prediction associated with a request for a content page. Session variables associated with a request can be extracted. A score can be calculated based upon the session variables. The score can be generated by a machine learning engine that is trained using archived session data. A page layout can be selected based upon the generated score and a respective content page generated.

Abstract: User action data, quantifying the actions of the user in a physical establishment, can be obtained through various forms of tracking and monitoring that can be implemented by software or hardware infrastructure supported by physical establishment, and agreed to by the user. Such user action data is obtained from multiple physical establishments, which, in combination with tracking of user actions in an online environment, provides a more accurate basis on which to determine a user's intent to act upon an item, a user's affinity for items associated with a specific entity, or combinations thereof. User intent can be quantified in terms of predetermined levels of intent. User content and user entity affinity provide a more accurate basis on which to proactively offer user aid to facilitate the user's acquiring of items, or otherwise make more efficient the user's activities with respect to such items.

Abstract: Therefore, what has been described is an improved for visually implementing a web page layout, where the web page layout includes a nested drop zone. Allowing the user to interactively implement nested drop zones provides numerous benefits, including the benefit of being able to create specialized layout configurations for a web page without requiring the need for expert programmers to write computer code for the new configuration. This permits the user to implement a highly customized layout in a very easy and efficient way. In addition, an improved approach has been described to implement a new type of widget that obtains its context information from another widget. For example, when a contextual widget is dropped into a drop zone, that contextual widget would obtain its context data from its parent drop zone widget.

Abstract: A data portion of a data set utilized in a computerized visualization is analyzed to identify one or more areas of interest each including data values representing distinguishable features relative to the data set.
