Abstract: In an embodiment, a technique for identifying a target for a pointing device in a display. The technique may involve identifying a trajectory of movement of the pointing device and identifying the target for the pointing device based on at least the identified trajectory. The target may be, for example, a graphical user interface (GUI) element that may be displayed in the display or a location in the display.

Abstract: A method may include displaying an output, e.g., a figure, a data set, a symbolic expression or equation, a model, or any object with a representation that can be manipulated, e.g., a tree, a list, or a control loop, from executing program code. The method may include receiving an indication that the output has been modified through one or more manipulations, and generating code that represents modifications to the output, such that executing the code with the program code generates the output that has been modified.

Abstract: A device receives text that includes data values, and parses the text to identify data types associated with the data values. The device generates, based on the data values and the data types, a graphical representation of the text that includes data cells corresponding to the data values, and provides the graphical representation for display. The device receives one or more selections of one or more data cells in the graphical representation, stores the one or more selections as a selection history, and provides the selection history for display.

Abstract: One or more computer-readable storage media for storing computer-executable instructions executable by processing logic is provided. The media storing one or more instructions that when executed by the processing logic causes the processing logic to receive data in a first format for conversion to a second format different than the first format, wherein the data includes information having a first type and information having a second type and display the data in the first format via a graphical interface. One or more translation rules are received relating to processing the information having the first type or the information having the second type. The one or more translation rules are pre-applied to the data in the first format. Effects of the pre-applied rules on the displayed data are displayed via the graphical interface. The data in the first format is converted to the data in the second format based on the one or more translation rules.

Abstract: A guard for precluding articles from falling into a gap between a vertical surface and an adjacent horizontal surface, wherein the vertical surface extends above the horizontal surface, comprises an elongated section of material including a surface portion substantially defining a plane and a gap-covering portion extending away in a fixed angular relationship from the plane of the surface portion. The surface portion is adapted to be affixed to the vertical surface either by an adhesive or, where the vertical surface is a magnetizable metal, by a magnetic portion. The gap-covering portion extends a distance of at least about 0.5 inch measured orthogonally from the surface portion.
