  • Dynamic gesture parameters
    Patent number: 9983784
    Abstract: Techniques involving gestures and other functionality are described. In one or more implementations, an input is recognized by a computing device as corresponding to a gesture, the gesture defined using a plurality of parameters, at least one of which having a threshold that varies with respect to another one of the parameters. An operation is caused to be performed by the computing device that corresponds to the gesture.
    Type: Grant

  • Reverting a Current State Model of a Database to a Pre-refactored State
    Publication number: 20130085991
    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards transforming model elements, associated with a current state model of a database, to a pre-refactored state. While applying refactoring operations on the database, identity change information is created that comprises each model element associated with the refactoring operations. Using the identity change information, a pre-refactored state model of the database is created. Using the model element in the pre-refactored state, a visual representation of a comparison between the pre-refactored state model and the current state model is produced.
