Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access a first value associated with a first pixel of the first color channel from a first bitmap associated with a first color channel. The system may select a first mask comprising a plurality of first scaling factors based on the first value of the first bitmap. The system may access a second value associated with a second pixel of the second color channel from a second bitmap associated with a second color channel. The system may select a second mask comprising a plurality of second scaling factors based on the second value of the second bitmap. The system may modify each of first and second component values of the corresponding color channel using the corresponding plurality of scaling factors of the corresponding mask. The system may output the modified first and second component values to a display.

Abstract: A method for managing display of electronic documents is described. A user interface is generated for a visual style set of visual styles that affect display of electronic document content. A visual style of the visual style set comprises a style element set of style elements. A lock status for a style element of the style element set is received via the user interface. The lock status indicates whether the style element is editable or non-editable by a user of an electronic document associated with the visual style set. The visual style set is stored with the lock status for the style element.

Abstract: A computing device (e.g., a processor executing instructions on the computing device) receives an input (e.g., from a user or from a data stream) into a cell of a table (e.g., a cell of a spreadsheet, worksheet, or workbook). If the input is a sum (e.g., a formula whose result is the sum of previous cells), then the computing device renders a total column representing the sum on a waterfall chart (e.g., on a user interface rendered on an electronic display). Otherwise, if the input is a static value (e.g., an integer or decimal number), then the computing device renders a change column representing the static value.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process and apparatus for scanning imaged storage photo-stimuable phosphor plates including automatic gain capabilities once scanning of the thus imaged plate is initiated permitting preliminary reading of a portion of the storage foil or photo-stimuable phosphor imaging plate to determine pixel values for evaluation within a predetermined range, and adjusting the gain if such pixel value is outside the predetermined range by modifying the high voltage supply setting and thence to complete generation of a computer stored image having maximum depth of field.

Abstract: A guide plate of a chain saw is disclosed and the guide plate comprises: a rectangular metal plate, which is constructed by a body shaped as a guide plate and an eliminated portion elongated around the peripheral of the body; wherein the two surfaces of the front end of the body are elongated to a boundary surface of the eliminated portion individually and corresponding to two indentations of an arc portion toward front, two welded welding powder structures are inside the two indentations so as to let the top surface and the bottom surface of the metal plate be two flat surfaces, the body is separated from the eliminated portion, the welded welding powder structures are disposed at the front edge of the front end of the body, a guide groove is disposed in between the two welded welding powder structures and toward the body.

Abstract: A structure for casehardening a fixture of a guide plate of a chain saw is disclosed and comprises: a metal member being larger than the guide plate and having a slot, the dimension between the two edges of the slot being a sum of the dimension of the outer figure of the guide plate and the dimension of a tolerance, the tolerance being defined as an allowable electrode discharging distance; and at least one cooling structure being disposed around one of the edges utmostly and only having one inlet and one outlet, other useless opens being sealed by sealing structures.

Abstract: A computer system that has a main memory and a writeback cache memory also has an I/O device capable of data streaming. A memory controller responds to signals that the I/O device will perform a burst transfer of data to the main memory and blocks potential writebacks from the cache memory to the I/O device. Potential writing over of the data from the I/O device by a flushed cache line written back to the main memory is thereby prevented. The system performance is increased since the data from the I/O device can be written to the main memory without waiting for a snoop cycle and a writeback to be performed.
