Abstract: An application window divider control is shared by a first application window and a second application window in a user interface. Based on a received directional instruction that moves the application window divider control along an axis of the user interface, placement of the first application window and the second application window may be positioned across a range of consistently spaced points along an axis of the user interface. Placement adjustment can also impact other application windows in the user interface. The application window divider control may also snap to provide “magnetic” points along the axis when certain conditions are satisfied.

Abstract: A cover arrangement for at least partially covering an opening includes an elongated support member, which is adapted to be arranged adjacent the opening, a plate-shaped cover adapted to be connected to the elongated support member in a way that, in a connected state, the plate-shaped cover projects from the elongated support member, and at least one connection element. The connection element and the elongated support member include complimentary shaped first engagement means so that the connection element may be rigidly connected to the elongated support member in an operative state. Further, the connection element and the plate-shaped cover include complimentary shaped pivot means so that the plate-shaped cover may be pivoted between a non-connected state and the connected state in relation to the elongated support member when the connection element is in its operative state in relation to the elongated support member.

Abstract: A drapery system includes an elongate support member which defines an elongate space for housing a drapery track, wherein the elongate support member includes a first elongate plate-shaped portion which extends in a longitudinal direction of the elongate support member and defines the elongate space in one direction, wherein the elongate support member includes at least one connector projecting from the first plate-shaped portion in the elongate space, and wherein the drapery system includes a connection structure which is adapted for engagement with the drapery track and with the at least one connector.

Abstract: A user can select content on an interface screen and provide an associated directional placement instruction to launch a new application window that displays the selected content or information associated with the selected content. The directional placement instruction may indicate an area of the screen where the user prefers to display the new application window. Responsive to the initiation of the directional placement instruction, a conversion module converts the selected content into a placeable representation of the new application. Responsive to receipt of the directional placement instruction, a window management system presents the new application window in the user interface in a location based on the directional placement instruction.

Abstract: There is described a method and system for multi-version updating of data records in a data processing system. The method includes: receiving a message indicating that a first data record with a specified key has been stored or updated using a first schema; retrieving the first data record from a first location using the specified key; converting, by a transformation function, the first data record into a second data record using a second schema, wherein the first schema and the second schema are different; and transmitting the second data record for storage in a second location.

Abstract: An elongated support member is adapted to be connected to a wall portion or roof portion defining a space for housing an extendable or movable covering, wherein the support member is adapted for supporting a plate shaped cover in a way that the cover projects from the support member so that it at least partly can conceal the space for the covering. The support member includes a pivot arrangement for forming a pivot axis so that the cover may be pivoted between a non-connected state and a connected state in relation to the support member.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses enabling dynamic joint dividers for application windows. In some embodiments, these techniques and apparatuses enable sizing and positioning of application windows to provide an optimized layout of application windows.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of containing an application in an immersive non-windowed environment. For instance, the application may be configured for use in a windowed environment. Containing the application in the immersive non-windowed environment may involve selectively implementing functionality that is associated with the application based at least in part on whether the functionality is applicable to the immersive non-windowed environment. For example, when a request to implement functionality that is not applicable to the immersive non-windowed environment is received, functionality that is applicable to the immersive non-windowed environment may be implemented in lieu of the functionality that is not applicable to the immersive non-windowed environment. In another example, no action may be taken with regard to the request.

Abstract: Techniques for an experience mode transition are described. Generally, an experience mode refers to a visual and functional arrangement that is presented to a user of a device. Different experience modes present different visual and functional arrangements to a user. According to various embodiments, a computing device is configured to operate in multiple experience modes and may transition between different experience modes and based on a variety of different triggering events. Generally, a transition between different experience modes causes a visual and/or functional reconfiguration of a user experience on a device.

Abstract: A support arrangement is provided for mounting in a wall or roof for supporting at least one extendable covering, the covering being arranged for movement between a retracted state and an extended state for at least partly covering an opening in the wall or roof. The support arrangement includes at least one elongated support member adapted to be attached to a wall portion or roof portion defining the opening and a closing structure for at least substantially concealing the elongated support member.
