Abstract: Browser compatibility checking of a web page source document is implemented on one or more servers. The browser compatibility checking of the web page source document involves receiving a request to render a web page source document for compatibility testing with different web browsers. The web page source document is then distributed to multiple rendering applications on a rendering server, in which each of the rendering application is to render the web page source document for one of the web browsers. The web page source document is then rendered at each of the rendering applications to generate rendered web page images.

Abstract: Browser compatibility checking of a web page source document that generates one or more web page is implemented on one or more servers. The browser compatibility checking of a web page may involve receiving a script file that includes script commands for capturing the appearance of the web page following various dynamic interactions with one or more browsers. An interaction simulation engine may be directed to simulate an interaction with each web page based on an interaction script command included in the script file. Further, an image capture engine may be trigger by an image capture script command included in the script file to capture an image of the web page.

Abstract: Disclosed is a printing system having a raster image processing performance preflight option and an associated printing method. When the performance preflight option is selectively enabled, the printing system parses a print job to acquire data object statistics, performs preliminary raster image processing of the print job to generate preliminary raster pages, monitors the preliminary raster image processing to acquire performance statistics, determines (based on the performance statistics) whether or not the print job meets predefined specifications for raster image process timing and generates and displays a summary report. Page-specific selectable reports can be embedded in the summary report to allow a user to selectively view page-specific data object statistics and visual representations of specific preliminary raster pages. Such reports can be used to modify the print job in order to improve raster image processing timing prior to printing.

Abstract: A system and method for activating services on a wireless device are provided that improve a user's experience and ease of activation/provisioning of services for the wireless device by providing a new provisioning channel for service activations. A user is simply required to input a short activation code(s) into the wireless device which is combined into an activation message along with other device-related information that is automatically retrieved from the wireless device. The generated activation message is then transmitted over the messaging provisioning channel accessible by inactive and/or unprovisioned wireless devices for delivery to a remote site for use in activating services on the wireless device. The services to be activated may include at least one of the following: out of the box activation, device upgrades, device reactivations, wireless number changes, wireless number porting, and the addition or purchasing of services including airtime, enrollments or content.

Abstract: The lifting surface consists of a torsion box capable of bearing aerodynamic and inertial loads, and the semi-parts (1, 1?) comprising it are connected together with joining means conventionally consisting of a rib in one piece in its plane of symmetry, the final assembly of said lifting surfaces requiring some inspection openings or holes for being able to gain access to the corresponding joints. The invention provides other joining means which avoid that rib and which consist of a plurality of bars (2) modularly arranged in the manner of a lattice, in such a is way that the required amount of said inspection holes is reduced, and a sequential assembly connecting the upper and lower ends of the bars (2) is facilitated.
