Abstract: A dispenser assembly and method of providing a web material dispenser assembly that is configured to dispense towel and wipe web materials, whether continuous or interwoven, in a pull-through manner from a core of a roll of material. The dispenser assembly includes a housing having a base and a moveable cover. A roll guide is disposed in the housing and defines a portion of the dispense passage associated with extraction of material from the dispenser assembly. A restrictor plate is supported by the roll guide and is rotatable and axially translatable relative thereto. The restrictor plate defines a number of dispense openings that can be selectively aligned with the portion of the dispense passage defined by the roll guide such that the characteristics associated with the pull-through dispense activity of the dispenser assembly can be quickly and conveniently configured to achieve a desired dispense action.

Abstract: A cutting board system that includes a cutting surface that removeably cooperates with at least one side of a base portion of the cutting board system. In a preferred aspect, the cutting surface includes a cutting layer and an indicator layer that underlies the cutting layer. Exposure of the indicator layer provides an indication as to degradation or use of the cutting layer and is indicative of desired replacement of the cutting surface. In a more preferred embodiment, respective cutting layers are associated with the generally opposite sides of the indicator layer such that the cutting surface is reversible.

Abstract: A container assembly for carrying and pouring flowable materials and that includes a bucket that is defined by a closed bottom portion, an upstanding side portion, and an upper rim area that at least partially defines an open top. A handle is attached near the upper rim area and a plurality of gripping surfaces are located in the closed bottom portion of the bucket and/or defined by the side portion to permit multiple means of gripping the container. The container includes one or more posts or feet that facilitate a stacked and only partially nested association between containers oriented in a vertically stacked configuration.

Abstract: A graphical sketch can be received, the sketch including one or more representations of text. A query can be automatically generated from the sketch. The generation of the query can include automatically recognizing the text and automatically representing the text in the query. The query can be run to identify a picture in response to the query, with the text describing one or more non-textual features of the picture. The picture can be returned, such as in response to the receipt of the graphical sketch.

Abstract: A dispenser for sequentially dispensing a plurality of collapsed cup insulator sleeves in manner that facilitates separation between adjacent collapsed cup insulator sleeves during each extraction or dispensing event. The dispenser includes a housing that defines a discharge opening that is constructed to accommodate dispensing of the collapsed cup sleeves from the dispenser in a singular and sequential manner and a manner that facilitates presentation of a subsequent single cup sleeve associated with a respective end of a stack of cup sleeves for subsequent removal of the respective cup sleeve from the dispenser.

Abstract: A sketch is received. The sketch includes one or more sketched graphical elements and one or more sketched representations of text. Pattern matching of the one or more sketched graphical elements and the one or more sketched representations of text with a map region is performed. A map image of the map region is generated and displayed.

Abstract: A sketch that includes a graphical chart representation can be received. A dataset can be automatically generated from the sketch can be received. Additionally, a graphical chart can be automatically generated from the sketch. The graphical chart can represent the sketch, and the dataset can include data represented in the graphical chart.

Abstract: A cover, carriage, or faceplate for a napkin dispenser is provided. The cover, faceplate or carriage defines one or more pick zones that facilitate manual extraction of different numbers of multiple napkins from the dispenser during each dispensing event. Preferably, the cover, carriage or faceplate cooperates with a container configured to receive a stack of napkins and is maintained adjacent an end or edge of the stack. More preferably, the cover, faceplate or carriage is configured to cooperate with containers having various shapes and/or configured for countertop, hanging, or in-counter implementation of the container to allow retrofitting of currently available single quantity dispensing napkin dispensers.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing devices for inserting online content within editable content of a document being composed or manipulated within a document-authoring application, without exiting the document-authoring application or leaving a context of composing or manipulating the document, are provided. Initially, a user-initiated selection of a portion of the editable content within the document is detected. The selected portion of the editable content is automatically distributed to a search engine, where the search engine is equipped to generate search results that are relevant to the selected portion. Upon receiving the search results, they are presented to the user. At this point, the user is allowed to target at least one of the presented search results. Online content associated with the targeted search result is then inserted within the editable content of the document.
