  • Publication number: 20140101606
    Abstract: User input identifying a selection of a textual portion of a document (such as an e-reader document, a word processing document, etc.) being displayed in a first computer display region can be received. It can be automatically requested that one or more services identify a context-sensitive meaning of the selection by analyzing textual context information around the selection in the document. Additional information about the identified meaning of the selection can be automatically retrieved from a service. In response to receiving the user input, one or more representations of the information about the identified meaning can be displayed in a second computer display region while the document continues to be displayed in the first computer display region. The first and second display regions can be visible at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20140101544
    Abstract: User input identifying a selection of a textual portion of a document being displayed in a computer display region can be received. Identification of an entity indicated by the selection and text around the selection can be automatically requested. A determination of whether the identified entity is an entity type in a predetermined set of entity types can also be requested. Each entity type in the set can correspond to a display technique for displaying information about that entity type. The display technique for each entity type can be different and can include displaying one or more user interface items specific to the entity type. If the entity type is determined to be an entity type of the types in the set, then the information about the identified entity can be displayed according to the display technique for the determined entity type.

  • Publication number: 20120267387
    Abstract: A transformable towel dispenser is presented that can be quickly transformed from a low profile shipping form into full, ready to dispense form in a substantially tool free manner. The transformability of the dispenser allows the dispenser to be shipped and stored in much smaller space than that for ready to dispense units. Alternatively, more dispensers can be shipped in the same volume container.

  • Publication number: 20120066577
    Abstract: A webpage contains a canvas. The canvas contains a drawing that is editable within the webpage by a user of a client device and by other users who use other client devices to open webpages that include the canvas. While the webpage is open on the client device, the drawing is dynamically updated to reflect edits made to the drawing by the user and by the other users at approximately times that the user and the other users make the edits to the drawing. The drawing is stored on a server system such that when the user closes the webpage, the other users can continue to edit the drawing. When the user reopens the webpage, the canvas contains the drawing as edited by the other users.
