Abstract: Some embodiments provide a GUI for a document reader application that displays an aggregated feed with sections for different groups of personalized documents. Some embodiments provide a method for arranging documents within the different sections and for ordering the different sections within the aggregated feed. In some embodiments, the groups are dynamically generated at a device based on content (e.g., tags) of the documents.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel method for generating a page that contains summaries of a number of documents. In some embodiments, the page includes several sections (e.g., rows). The method receives a set of documents to summarize. The documents in the received set are sorted in an order (e.g., based on relevance to a viewer of the page). In some embodiments, the method uses a layout generator to identify an arrangement of one or more document summaries for each section on the page.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a document reader that generates a display of several document summaries. In some embodiments, the reader receives definitions of several documents, and generates document summaries for these documents. The reader then identifies an arrangement of the document summaries on a scrollable page so that a first subset of the document summaries produces a snake pattern across the page while a second subset of the document summaries falls outside of the snake pattern. The snake pattern includes several successive vertical and horizontal snake portions. In some embodiments, the snake pattern traverses along a scrolling direction on the page (e.g., down the page in the direction of the page's scrolling). Also, in some embodiments, the widths of the vertical snake portions and the heights of the horizontal snake portions are within a certain threshold range.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a document viewing application with first and second document-browsing modes. The first document-browsing mode, accessed through a first UI item of several top-level UI items, displays several selectable document channel items corresponding to previously-selected document channels. Selection of one of the selectable document channel items causes the document viewing application to present a set of documents related to the document channel corresponding to the particular selectable item. The second document-browsing mode, accessed through a second UI item of the several top-level UI items, displays several selectable document panes corresponding to documents related to several of the previously-selected channels.

Abstract: A system and method for scanning individuals for illicit objects include the ability to scan a wheeled user transport device and an individual being transported thereby for metallic objects and to determine whether an illicit object may be present, without activating an alarm for the user transport device while detecting illicit objects on the individual.

Abstract: A laminar flow control system for incorporation in, for example, an aircraft flying surface includes a suction panel comprising a perforated skin (20, 40) mounted on a base member (60), a plenum chamber (30) being in communication with a plurality of micro channels (90) formed in the top surface of the base member (60), the micro channels (90) being in communication with the holes (40) in the skin (20).

Abstract: A system and method for scanning carriers for objects include the capability to sense a radioactive object in the detection proximity of a platform and form a signal indicative thereof and to determine whether an illicit radioactive object may be in the detection proximity. The system and method also include the capability to sense a metallic object in the detection proximity of the platform and form a signal indicative thereof and to determine whether an illicit metallic object may be in the detection proximity.
