Abstract: A visualization input system is provided. The system includes a visualization component that receives input gestures from a user (or users) and translates the gestures into one or more data manipulation commands. A distribution component receives the data manipulation commands and propagates data modifications across one or more databases in view of the commands. This includes a rights component that enables the data modifications to be implemented across the one or more databases.

Abstract: The invention concerns an aroma composition to reduce or suppress a bitter or astringent impression in the oral cavity, comprising (i) one or more sweeteners and (ii) one or more specific bitter-masking aroma substances and/or flavourings and optionally (iii) one or more sweetness intensifying aroma substances and/or sweeteners and optionally (iv) one or more inactive substances or carriers. The invention also concerns a preparation, containing such an aroma composition, the use of an aroma composition for reducing or eliminating a bitter and astringent effect of an artificial sweetener and a corresponding method for reducing or eliminating the bitter and astringent effect of a sweetener.

Abstract: A visualization development system is provided. The system includes a visualization tool to develop one or more visualizations and a grammar engine that operates with the visualization tool to automatically detect visualization problems during the development of the visualizations.

Abstract: An adaptive visualization system is provided. The system includes a processing component that receives visualization configurations to determine a suitable visualization for a user. A visualization component automatically adapts a visualization output based in part on the visualization configurations. The visualization configurations can include user context inputs, user profile inputs, device characteristic inputs, or background data inputs, for example.

Abstract: A system (and corresponding methodology) by which a user can interact directly with visual data is provided. The system employs associations and relationships between visual data objects to automatically update objects based upon a change in other objects. The innovation also provides specialized controls (e.g., dashboard tools/controls) that facilitate manipulation of visual data. As there can be numerous manners in which a user can interact with visualization data, the innovation enables a specialized set of controls to be identified and provided to a user thereby reducing overwhelming effects of a large number of controls.

Abstract: The present invention relates primarily to the use of particular ureas, thioureas, carbamates, thiocarbamates and guanidines based on the neomenthyl structure and corresponding mixtures with one another or with further compounds as flavor materials or flavor material mixtures for producing, imparting, modifying and/or enhancing savory flavor notes. the invention furthermore relates to particular compositions, preparations and semifinished products which comprise the said compounds, as well as methods for producing, imparting, modifying and/or enhancing particular flavor impressions. Lastly, the invention also relates to the compounds themselves and to corresponding mixtures.

Abstract: A system facilitates dynamic data visualizations. The system includes an analysis component that periodically processes one or more incoming data streams to determine a visualization form from a plurality of visualization forms. A visualization component dynamically generates the visualization form based in part on the processing of the incoming data streams.
