Abstract: The present invention facilitates efficient and effective image processing. A network can comprise: a first system configured to perform a first portion of lighting calculations for an image and combing results of the first portion of lighting calculations for the image with results of a second portion of lighting calculations; and a second system configured to perform the second portion of lighting calculations and forward the results of the second portion of the lighting calculations to the first system. The first and second portion of lighting calculations can be associated with indirect lighting calculations and direct lighting calculations respectively. The first system can be a client in a local location and the second system can be a server in a remote location (e.g., a cloud computing environment). The first system and second system can be in a cloud and a video is transmitted to a local system.

Abstract: A faucet including a spout body formed of metal and having an inlet end, an outlet end and a chamber extending between inlet and outlet ends. A tube formed of a non-metallic material is enclosed within the chamber and has receiving and dispensing ends. Tube defines a passage extending between receiving and dispensing ends. Receiving end is in fluid communication with water source to communicate water through passage. An inlet coupling formed of a non-metallic material and having an inlet opening extending therethrough is molded about receiving end such that receiving end is sealingly received within inlet opening. An outlet coupling formed of a non-metallic material and having an outlet opening extending therethrough is molded about dispensing end such that dispensing end is sealingly received within outlet opening. Inlet and outlet couplings are sealingly coupled to inlet and outlet ends of spout body, respectively.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating a graphical user interface, or GUI. A list may be invoked by a keyboard shortcut within an integrated development environment, or IDE, for software development wherein there are a number of items such as open files and development tools between which a user must navigate. The list appears in a navigation dialog that comprises the items such as open files, tool windows sorted in a most recently used, or MRU, order, and navigation of abstract views into the data. The list may be invoked by the user from the keyboard by pressing the “Ctrl-Tab” keys, for example, and holding down the “Ctrl” key. Once invoked, the user may navigate the list to select an item to open by using the arrow keys for, example, on the keyboard or pressing the “Tab” key again, for example, while holding down the key used to initially invoke the navigation dialog. Once the user selects the desired item, the navigation dialog may be dismissed by releasing the key used to invoke it.
