Abstract: A secondary output of a user interface created using a presentation framework may be created by making a clone of the user interface, then modifying the cloned user interface by expanding various components. The cloned user interface may also be configured to the output characteristics of the secondary output, which may be a printer or other hardcopy device. The user interface may be created with callbacks or other actions that may be executed when the cloned user interface is configured. The callbacks may cause certain user interface components to be changed on the cloned version of the user interface.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for document collaboration by transforming and reflecting a document object model. A DOM representation of a document to be shared is obtained at a host computer, transformed, and reflected to one or more participant computers. Each of the participant computers receives the DOM representation of the document and renders and displays the DOM representation locally. When the DOM representation is modified, changes to the DOM representation may also be transmitted to the participant computers, rendered, and displayed. Events occurring with respect to the DOM may also be synchronized between the host and participant computers.

Abstract: An object including at least one element is moved on a document in which the object is arranged in response to an instruction from a user. In addition, if the object is moved to a boundary between two pages, at least one element that is included in the object and that corresponds to a break position of the two pages is detected. Then, a position where the at least one detected element is arranged in the document is determined so that the element is arranged in either of the documents of the two pages and an image corresponding to the document is output. In the above manner, it is possible to appropriately arranging elements in a document to output an image corresponding to the document having the elements appropriately arranged therein.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that identify one of a plurality of modes from a web page associated with a document received at a browser are described. An identified mode may correspond to a user interface configuration. A portion of content may be extracted from the document for a presentation configured by the user interface configuration. A presentation of the extracted content may be displayed on a display screen while excluding a reset of the document without displaying the web page.

Abstract: Phrases in the reviews that express sentiment about a particular aspect are identified. Reviewable aspects of the entity are also identified. The reviewable aspects include static aspects that are specific to particular types of entities and dynamic aspects that are extracted from the reviews of a specific entity instance. The sentiment phrases are associated with the reviewable aspects to which the phrases pertain. The sentiment expressed by the phrases associated with each aspect is summarized, thereby producing a summary of sentiment associated with each reviewable aspect of the entity. The summarized sentiment and associated phrases can be stored and displayed to a user as a summary description of the entity.

Abstract: XML parsing (PXP) can be improved using multicore CPUs, enhancing its suitability for scientific data. One approach is to divide the XML document into equal-sized chunks, and parse each chunk in parallel. XML parsing is inherently potentially dependent on all preceding characters. The skeleton, an outline of the document generated during a fast preparse, is used to guide full parallel parsing. The preparse is a sequential phase that limits scalability, and this phase can also be parallelized using a meta-DFA mechanism. For each state q of the original preparser the meta-DFA incorporates a complete copy of the preparser state machine as a sub-DFA which starts in state q running multiple instances of the preparser simultaneously when parsing a chunk, with each possible preparser state at the beginning of a chunk represented by an instance. By pursuing all possibilities simultaneously, the meta-DFA allows each chunk to be preparsed independently in parallel.

Abstract: A client device network-connected to a document management server managing a document stored in a storage and keeping at least one document managing rule, firstly edits a template which includes information for an operation performed to a document, information for a name of a menu to be registered in the device, and an identifier of a document managing rule. Then, a document managing rule specified by the identifier which is included in the edited template is obtained from the server. Then, a determination is made as to whether or not an operation which is included in the edited template is pursuant to the obtained document managing rule. Finally, a name of a menu instructing to perform the operation in the client device is registered, if it is determined that the operation included in the edited template is pursuant to the obtained document managing rule, and is not registered otherwise.

Abstract: A system and method for improving electronic presentations is provided. The system may automatically improve an electronic presentation. An input presentation may be analyzed and various parameters may be computed. Based on text and/or other analysis, images and/or other objects may be selected to be included in a generated electronic presentation. A design scheme may be automatically selected. An improved electronic presentation may be automatically generated based on an original presentation, user selected parameters, text and/or other analysis of the original presentation and a set of rules, criteria and parameters.

Abstract: A language for semi-structured documents, XML has emerged as the core of the web services architecture, and is playing crucial roles in messaging systems, databases, and document processing. However, the processing of XML documents has a reputation for poor performance, and a number of optimizations have been developed to address this performance problem from different perspectives, none of which have been entirely satisfactory. Parallel XML parsing leverages the growing prevalence of multicore architectures in all sectors of the computer market, and yields significant performance improvements. The design consists of an initial preparsing phase to determine the structure of the XML document (or other data document), followed by a full, parallel parse. The results of the preparsing phase are used to help partition the XML document for data parallel processing.
