Abstract: The claimed work platform system, alternatively dubbed by the inventor as “Miniscaffold”, provides a compact, versatile, and portable method of supporting workers engaged in various elevated construction or maintenance activities. The claimed work platform rides upon a number of locking floor casters. Each floor caster is mounted to a removable, telescoping support which may be readily relocated inward to accommodate access through narrow aisles or outward to enhance the platform's stability. Each telescoping support is also fitted with an individual jack mechanism to compensate for the inevitable variations in ground or floor elevation typical at construction or work sites. The “Miniscaffold” is also constructed from interlocking square tube members which enhance the work platform's stability and thus eliminate the obtrusive and cumbersome diagonal supports found on most scaffolding.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates enhancing interactive surface technologies for data manipulation. A surface detection component can employ a multiple contact surfacing technology to detect a surface input, wherein the detected surface input enables a physical interaction with a portion of displayed data that represents a corporeal object. A physics engine can integrate a portion of Newtonian physics into the interaction with the portion of displayed data in order to model at least one quantity related associated with the corporeal object, the quantity is at least one of a force, a mass, a velocity, or a friction.

Abstract: A SONET signal is terminated by pointer processing a physically concatenated SONET signal to output a pointer processed physically concatenated SONET signal. Virtual concatenation-related byte markers (for example, H4 and J1) are then inserted into the pointer processed physically concatenated SONET signal. Virtual concatenation overhead data (for example, MFI and SEQ#) is then inserted into the pointer processed physically concatenated SONET signal so as to produce a converted virtually concatenated SONET signal. Virtual concatenation logic processing is then performed on the converted virtually concatenated signal. In this way, a physically concatenated SONET signal can be received and processed on a single integrated circuit with a virtual concatenation logic processor receiver this obviating the need for including a separate physically concatenated logic processing receiver or multiple integrated circuit chips.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of processing kaolin to produce two distinct grades of kaolin in a simultaneous manner. The methods involve processing kaolin by degritting a kaolin crude; subjecting the degritted kaolin crude to flotation to provide a kaolin having reduced titania content; ozonating the kaolin having reduced titania content; centrifuging the kaolin to provide a coarse stream and fine stream; refining the coarse stream into a coarse engineered kaolin pigment; and refining the fine stream into a fine glossing kaolin pigment. Also disclosed are systems for the automated processing of kaolin to produce two distinct grades of kaolin with real time feedback.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for displaying header information in a table. One or more cells of a table are selected and their associated header information is determined and replicated. Display attributes are then applied to the replicated header information resulting in the generation of a table header that overlays adjacent table cells. In one embodiment, the resulting table header is dynamically invoked through a user gesture. In another embodiment, the resulting table header is persistently displayed and comprises a viewing window that displays information contained in the selected table cells. The persistent table header moves with the cursor as it is positioned over other table cells and displays the information they contain. Display attributes such as ghosting are applied to other table cells to generate a visually distinguished table header that facilitates visual correlation between selected table cells and their corresponding header information.

Abstract: Digital Image compositing using a programmable graphics processor is described. The programmable graphics processor supports high-precision data formats and can be programmed to complete a plurality of compositing operations in a single pass through a fragment processing pipeline within the programmable graphics processor. Source images for one or more compositing operations are stored in graphics memory, and a resulting composited image is output or stored in graphics memory. More-complex compositing operations, such as blur, warping, morphing, and the like, can be completed in multiple passes through the fragment processing pipeline. A composited image produced during a pass through the fragment processing pipeline is stored in graphics memory and is available as a source image for a subsequent pass.

Abstract: A graphics system coalesces Z data and color data for a raster operations stage. The Z data and color data are stored in a memory aligned tile format. In one embodiment, rendering modes in which the tile does not have a data capacity corresponding to Z data or color data for a whole number of pixels have data for at least one pixel split across entries to improve packing efficiency. Rendering modes having a number of bits for Z data or color data that does not equal a power of two such as 24 bits, 48 bits, and 96 bits, may be implemented with a high packing efficiency in tile formats having a data capacity corresponding to a power of 2 bits.

Abstract: Described are dough packages that include one or more of a container and an opening, optionally including an open end and an endcap, wherein the package may be vented or non-vented, and may contain dough for storage at refrigerated conditions.

Abstract: A tiled graphics memory permits graphics data to be stored in different tile formats. One application is selecting a tile format optimized for the data generated for particular graphical surfaces in different rendering modes. Consequently, the tile format can be selected to optimize memory access efficiency and/or packing efficiency. In one embodiment a first tile format stores pixel data in a format storing two different types of pixel data whereas a second tile format stores one type of pixel data. In one implementation, a z-only tile format is provided to store only z data but no stencil data. At least one other tile format is provided to store both z data and stencil data. In one implementation, z data and stencil data are stored in different portions of a tile to facilitate separate memory accesses of z and stencil data.

Abstract: Described are developed, refrigerator-stable, dough compositions in moderately-pressurized packages and related methods, wherein the dough compositions contain chemical leavening agents that include low and high solubility acidic agents and encapsulated basic agent.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are presented for a hierarchical processor. The processor comprises, at a first level of hierarchy, a plurality of similarly structured first level components, wherein each of the plurality of similarly structured first level components includes at least one combined function module capable of performing multiple classes of graphics operations, each of the multiple classes of graphics operations being associated with a different stage of graphics processing.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-usable medium for improved management of object properties in an integrated development environment (IDE). A cursor mode allows the underlying properties of one or more predetermined objects in a graphical editor to be dynamically viewed and modified by a user. One or more object's properties are displayed in an object properties pop-up viewer/editor window adjacent to the cursor when a user “mouses-over” target objects in a graphical editor and are editable upon explicit user gesture. The properties pop-up viewer/editor window is implementable to move with the cursor, i.e., cursor-attached, and to remain open to dynamically display, without additional user gestures, the respective properties of each predetermined object a user mouses-over.
