  • Publication number: 20190095054
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for generating or updating cross-community streams. A plurality of communities can be maintained on behalf of a plurality of member organizations. Members of each community can have access to a corresponding set of records. One or more selections operable to assign one or more records to one or more cross-community streams can be displayed in a user interface on a display of a device of a first user. A first request from the first user to assign a first set of one or more records to a first cross-community stream can be processed. The first cross-community stream can be generated or updated.

  • Patent number: 10114532
    Abstract: Implementations relate to editing options for image regions. Some implementations include detecting a region portion of an image based on one or more characteristics of pixels of the image. The detected region has an identified class selected from multiple identifiable classes, and each identifiable class is associated with a set of multiple editing options. Each editing option is associated with edit operation(s) operable to adjust value(s) of one or more image pixels. One of the sets of editing options is presented for selection, where the presented set is associated with the identified class of the detected region and each of the editing options in the presented set is operable to adjust value(s) of one or more pixels of the detected region. The presented set of editing options is different from at least one of the other sets of editing options associated with the other classes.

  • Patent number: 10039225
    Abstract: A land roller implement includes a wheel aligned with the respective gap between the inner roller and the outer roller of each wing in which the wheel is pivotal between a packing position in the working position of the rollers and a transport position supporting the rollers in the transport position of the implement. The wings can also include a drive motor associated with each transport wheel to drive forward rotation of the wheel for displacing the wings from the transport position to the working position without displacing the implement in a rearward direction. A levelling beam attachment and a seeding attachment can also optionally be used on the land roller implement. Optional latchable brace members pivotally supported on the wings may provide additional support to the wings when using the levelling beam attachment.

  • Patent number: 9286706
    Abstract: Implementations relate to editing image regions based on previous user edits. In some implementations, a method includes detecting a region depicting an identified subject in a target image and determining an identity of the identified subject. The method retrieves one or more stored user edits associated with the identity of the identified subject, where the user edits were previously made by a user to one or more other regions in one or more source images, and the other regions depict the identified subject having the identity. The method applies the one or more user edits to the region in the target image.
