Abstract: Transformation of graphic objects is described. A graphic object modification system receives an indication of a transformation to be performed on one or more graphic objects. For merger transformations, a stroke and a fill are identified for each graphic object being merged. Fill values are written to a buffer in a first pass, and stroke values are written to the buffer in a second pass without overwriting fill values. The merged graphic object is then output by rendering values stored in the buffer. For other non-merger transformations, z-order information is identified for each displayed graphic object. Graphic objects selected for transformation are allocated into clusters based on their z-order information. Clusters are rendered in separate GPU textures and transformations are applied to the separate textures, enabling the graphic object modification system to output transformation results in real-time without re-rendering the actual graphic objects being transformed.

Abstract: A method for determining data consistency in a distributed asynchronous architecture is provided. A server receives transaction requests for processing transactions. The server offers one or more services for processing each transaction. Execution of a service for a transaction corresponds to partial processing of the corresponding transaction. The server generates, for each transaction, one or more disposition messages based on the execution of the one or more services. The server aggregates, for each transaction, the generated one or more disposition messages based on a unique identifier of a corresponding transaction and determines a data consistency rate based on the aggregated one or more disposition messages and a set of rules. The set of rules defines one or more standard sequences for executing the one or more services for processing each transaction.

Abstract: Generally described, the presently disclosed technology utilizes managed Wi-Fi networks pre-installed throughout an MDU property to provide user-specific passphrases that can be used to access the single-SSID wireless network at the property and to provide a cloud portal that can enable convenient access to the functionalities (both by the resident and the manager) provided by the Wi-Fi controller and the Wi-Fi access points. By doing so, the Wi-Fi network management solutions described herein allow the users to experience the benefits of a shared Wi-Fi infrastructure, such as not having to set up and maintain their own Wi-Fi routers, while also allowing them to easily change their Wi-Fi settings from their connected devices.

Abstract: Glyph aware snapping is described. A content processing system receives a selection input to select a glyph from text content presented via a user interface of a content editing application. Responsive to this, the content processing system generates and presents snapping guidelines in relation to the glyph while preserving an ability of the glyph to be editable using text editing tools. These snapping guidelines correspond to an identified subset of linear segments of the glyph and enable the content processing system to snap a focus (e.g., a cursor) of a graphics editing tool from a position proximate the snapping guidelines to a position on the snapping guidelines. This enables the content processing system to generate graphical content that aligns with the snapping guidelines and can be attached to the glyph based on the alignment—without destroying the ability of the text content to be editable using text editing tools.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for identifying illegitimate selections of content items. In some implementations, one or more servers can receive display data specifying a display state of a web page in a viewport. The web page includes a content item. Display instances are identified. A display instance is a display of at least a portion of the content item in the viewport. Selection instances of the content item are identified. A selection instance is a selection of the content item. The server(s) determines whether a selection of the content item occurred during a display of at least a portion of the content item in the viewport based on the display instances and the selection instances. A selection of the content is defined as an illegitimate selection if the selection did not occur during a display of at least a portion of the content item in the viewport.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system provides the ability to manipulate multiple digital objects. A plurality of digital objects with attributes are acquired. Two or more of the digital objects are selected. Attributes of the selected digital objects are selected. An interchange operation to be performed with the selected attributes of the selected digital objects is determined. The selected attributes are interchanged between the selected digital objects based on the determined interchange operation. The selected digital objects with interchanged attributes are output.

Abstract: A method of charging a battery includes applying a charging voltage to a lithium-ion battery for a period of time after the battery is fully charged. The battery includes a positive electrode having a positive active material, a negative electrode having a negative active material, and an electrolyte. The negative active material includes a lithium titanate material and has a capacity that is less than that of the positive electrode. The charging voltage is greater than a fully charged voltage of the battery, and applying the charging voltage for the period of time is sufficient to cause a zero volt crossing potential of the battery to increase to above a decomposition potential of the positive active material.

Abstract: An object is coupled to a glyph in a text segment, while maintaining the text segment as editable. The text segment includes glyphs, which are graphical representations of characters. Each glyph is defined internally in the form of path information, which includes one or more points corresponding to the outline of the glyph. The path information for the text segment is determined and utilized in order to facilitate the coupling of an object with the text segment. The text segment remains editable as text subsequent to such coupling.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods and apparatuses providing contextual suggestion in the environment of a user interface to a planning spreadsheet. Particular embodiments feature an interface engine that is in communication with an underlying data model. The data model may be hierarchical in nature (e.g., organized according to tree structure). In response to user input to the spreadsheet interface, the engine is configured to parse metadata associated with the data model, and construct therefrom suggestion strings prompting a user to interact with the data of the data model. The interface engine may consider a variety of factors in providing relevant suggestion, including but not limited to cell type and user context (e.g., access rights) so as to further target the offered suggestions offered to user expectation. This approach can desirably enhance efficiency of user interaction with the spreadsheet application, resulting in less typing, fewer corrections, faster workflows, and greater satisfaction.
