Abstract: A user may create a blueprint that specifies an application's architecture, including virtual machines (VM) nodes, software services and application components within the VM nodes. To do so, the user manipulates a graphical user interface (GUI) rendered by a graph layout manager and a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) layout engine. The SVG layout engine parses declarative layout configurations and translates the declarative layout into SVG elements that visually represent the blueprint. The graph layout manager renders topology connections representing deployment dependencies in the GUI using a street-block-and-roads design pattern.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for processing sliding operations on a portable terminal device. The portable terminal device includes a touch screen. The system includes a memory device configured to store data related to sliding operations, and a processor coupled to the memory device. The processor is configured to cause to display, on the touch screen, a communication function interface for receiving user sliding operations. The processor is further configured to receive original messages obtained on the touch screen corresponding to the user sliding operations, and process the original messages to determine possible sliding patterns corresponding to the user sliding operations. The processor is also configured to set a user-defined sliding pattern based on the possible sliding patterns.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for inputting text by consecutive slide, comprising: detecting whether a consecutive slide input mode is triggered in response to an input of a user; detecting and recording a sliding trajectory of a user on a touch-screen and inputting a corresponding word; and predicting a possible word based on a context and another input of the user and updating the layout of a keyboard according to at least one of the results of the prediction. The invention also relates to a system that implements the method, as well as a corresponding device. The method, system and device increase input efficiency and achieve smart prediction and smart arrangement of candidate words in an area of the keyboard.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) engine receives an input event associated with a drag-and-drop action, determines a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) element that relates to the input event, and causes an anchor element to be attached to the SVG element, such as be wrapping the SVG element with the anchor element. Attaching an anchor element to an SVG element and defining the anchor element as “draggable” enables web browsers to perform drag-and-drop actions with SVG elements in a uniform and predictable manner. In one example use case, an SVG element may be wrapped with an anchor element when the SVG element is selected and dragged by a user, enabling an accurate representation of the SVG element to be displayed while the user is performing the drag-and-drop action.

Abstract: A user may create a blueprint that specifies an application's architecture, including virtual machines (VM) nodes, software services and application components within the VM nodes. To do so, the user manipulates a graphical user interface (GUI) rendered by a graph layout manager and a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) layout engine. The SVG layout engine parses declarative layout configurations and translates the declarative layout into SVG elements that visually represent the blueprint. The graph layout manager renders topology connections representing deployment dependencies in the GUI using a street-block-and-roads design pattern.

To do so, the user manipulates a graphical user interface (GUI) rendered by a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) layout engine. The SVG layout engine parses declarative layout configurations and translates the declarative layout into SVG elements that visually represent the blueprint. The SVG layout engine dynamically calculates absolute positions and sizes of child elements based on the declarative layout.

To do so, the user manipulates a graphical user interface (GUI) rendered by a graph layout manager and a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) layout engine. The SVG layout engine parses declarative layout configurations and translates the declarative layout into SVG elements that visually represent the blueprint. Additional information may be rendered in independent layers overlaid on the GUI which a user may selectively activate or de-activate to show or hide, respectively, the additional information. The layers may be generated using extension points exposed via the declarative layout.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a post extraction process for preparing low acyl gellan, comprising the steps: deacylation treatment of gellan gum-containing fermentation broth, enzyme treatment, flocculation of low acyl gellan gum with divalent or polyvalent metal cations, clarification treatment of gellan gum solution, dehydration treatment of gellan gum solution, removal of divalent or polyvalent cations and decoloration, and drying and milling. Preferably, the process comprises the step of formulating a proper amount of chelating agent/acid system before the drying and milling step to chelate the added additional divalent cations added during the use of gellan gum, and at the same time to keep the pH value in a relatively stable condition. The present invention also provides the various low acyl gellan gums prepared by the above methods. The product has the following characteristics: a good appearance, a high transmittancy, and high gel strength.
