Publication number: 20130326347Abstract: Language selection and application within a computing environment are often distributed over and differently applied by the operating system and various applications, leading to additional administration, inconsistencies in the user experience based on different language feature implementations among different applications; and increased cost and redundancy in developing language features for different applications. Presented herein are techniques for configuring a device with an application language library that centralizes the selection of languages by the user, and that provides a wide variety of language features (e.g., text translation, user interface adaptation, and data formats) to the applications and operating system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eric Scott Albright, Nicholas A.

Publication number: 20130326605Abstract: A device may provide a login process to authenticate users prior to admittance to a computing environment. The device may also enable users to adjust various the computing environment, e.g., the language selected for communicating with the user and the user interfaces to be presented to the user, and may store such adjustments in a secured user account. However, if the user account is inaccessible to the device during the login process, the device is unable to adapt the login process to apply the user's adjustments. Instead, the device may be configured to store users' adjustments (including language selection) outside of the user accounts, and to, upon identifying the user during the login process, present login interfaces specified in the user account. Additionally, users may select different login interfaces during login, and the device may retrieve these login interfaces for selection during future login processes for the same user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam James Betz, Wade H. Curtiss, Andrew Stuart Glass

Publication number: 20130325435Abstract: A device may be configured to enable a user to select a language, and may fulfill resource requests from applications by selecting, from among resources respectively associated with a language, a resource associated with the selected language of the user. However, this resource selection process may be inadequate if the user selects multiple languages; if a resource associated with the selected language of the user is unavailable, but resources associated with related languages are available; or if the user and/or the application specifies an ordering for the selection among the languages. Presented herein are techniques for performing the resource selection by, for respective languages selected by the user, calculating a weight representing a suitability of the language for the resource request; generating a selection order of the selected languages according to the weights; and selecting a resource based on the position of the associated language in the selection order.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Rylan Michael Hawkins, Eric Scott Albright, Nicholas A.

Publication number: 20130323129Abstract: A food container (2) includes a rigid thermoformed plastics carton (4) which holds a dry food 6 and is closed by a removable film closure (8). The film (8) incorporates a hydride which is arranged to generate hydrogen on contact with moisture. Additionally, the film (8) is arranged to have relatively high water vapour permeability and relatively low hydrogen gas permeability. In use, water vapour from air surrounding the container (2) passes into the film (8) and reacts with the hydride to generate hydrogen. Due to the relatively low hydrogen permeability of the film (8), the hydrogen is restricted from escaping from the container. Instead, the hydrogen then reacts with any oxygen within the container in a reaction catalysed by a catalyst associated with the carton (4), thereby to scavenge oxygen within the container (2) and protect the food (6) from oxidation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: Colormatrix Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Adrian John Carmichael, Mark Frost, Andrew Stuart Overend, Steven Burgess Tattum
