  • Publication number: 20180107632
    Abstract: System, method, and computer program product embodiments describe utilizing a page having a flexible layout for accessing content across multiple applications. In an embodiment, a display device displays a first content on a page associated with a set of layouts. The page uses a one-panel layout having one panel that that encompasses the first content. Responsive to detecting a selection of a portion of the first content within the one-panel layout, the display device receives a second content for displaying within the page. Then, the display devices renders the page using a two-panel layout having a first panel that is vertically adjacent to a second panel to display the first and second content alongside each other. The first and second panels respectively display the first and second content.

  • Publication number: 20180107347
    Abstract: System, method, and computer program product embodiments describe back navigation features of a page. In an embodiment, a display device displays the page in a first layout, selected from a set of layouts associated with the page, for displaying a first content. The display device navigates from the first layout to one or more subsequent layouts, each subsequent layout selected from the set of layouts. The subsequent layouts include a second layout that concurrently displays the first content and a second related content in separate panels of the second layout. The display device stores a navigation sequence from the first layout through each of the subsequent layouts. Responsive to receiving a command to return to the first layout, the display device selects the first layout, from the stored navigation sequence, to navigate from the second layout to the first layout. Then, the page is rendered using the selected first layout.

  • Patent number: 8807476
    Abstract: A helicopter (1) has a horizontal rotor (2) driven for rotation about a vertical rotor axis (4), and a tail (9) extending backwards from the rotor axis (4) at a fixed angle (10) between about 20° and about 60° to a vertical longitudinal middle plane (7) of the helicopter (1) on a retreating blade side of the horizontal rotor (2). The tail (9) comprises a profiled body (16) including aerodynamic effective surfaces (19, 20) for selectively generating lift on the retreating blade side of the horizontal rotor (2) in forward flight of the helicopter (1).
