Abstract: A user interface element and a visual indicator are displayed to show both a current selected area that tracks a user's touch input and an indication of any items that are considered to be selected (the potential selection). The user interface element (e.g. a border) is displayed whose size may be adjusted by a user using touch input to select more/fewer items. An item visual indicator is displayed for items that are considered to be a potential selection (e.g. items that would be selected if the touch input were to end at the current time). The item visual indicator is configured to show the user an indication of currently selected items without the border appearing to jump in response to another item being selected/deselected. The item visual indicator helps to avoid the need for a user to re-adjust the selection or get unexpected results.

Abstract: Animation and visuals are displayed when automatically filling/changing values within a document. A scan animation may be displayed to assist a user in understanding that an action is about to occur using their recent edit(s). A fill animation may be displayed while the suggested values are automatically filled within the document. For example, the suggested values may be displayed according to an uncommitted state (e.g. light grey text) as compared to a committed state (e.g. black text) of related values. The suggested values may be accepted/rejected while they are displayed according to the uncommitted state. When the suggested values are rejected, the suggested values are removed from the display. When the suggested values are accepted, the suggested values are transitioned to the committed state. When a user performs an edit on one or more of the suggested values, a change animation may be displayed.

Abstract: Different gestures and actions are used to interact with spreadsheets. The gestures are used in manipulating the spreadsheet and performing other actions in the spreadsheet. For example, gestures may be used to move within the spreadsheet, select data, filter, sort, drill down/up, zoom, split rows/columns, perform undo/redo actions, and the like. Sensors that are associated with a device may also be used in interacting with spreadsheets. For example, an accelerometer may be used for moving and performing operations within the spreadsheet.

Abstract: A miniaturized attachment mechanism for attaching a lanyard to a cell phone, MP3 player or other portable device having a hole in its outer casing is disclosed. The miniaturized attachment mechanism can have one end permanently fastened to a lanyard, and can include a spring-loaded ball detent within a hollow shaft. The hollow shaft diameter can be about 3 millimeters or less, while the diameter of the ball within the hollow shaft can be about 2 millimeters or less. The hollow shaft can be inserted into the casing hole such that the ball detent secures the mechanism to the casing until a pin release is used. In another embodiment, the miniaturized attachment mechanism can include a 1 millimeter shaft having a groove at an insertable end, while the casing encloses a two hole E-ring mechanism adapted to lock onto the groove when the shaft is inserted into the casing hole.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method, system and computer program(s) for migration of a source machine instance to a target machine instance of least one heterogeneous virtual server device managed within a cloud computing environment. The method includes discovering machine images of a cloud service provider and storing results in a computer-readable catalog containing cloud metadata comprised of machine image identifiers and information discovered about the machine images. The method further includes, in response to a request for migration document in a computer-readable form that comprises a specification of a required migration target machine instance, specifying weight/priority information for components to be included in the target machine instance, where the weight information indicates weights for operations comprising component installation, component removal and component upgrade in the target machine instance.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method and system for preparing a migration and consolidation of at least one source application to be migrated to or consolidated in at least one heterogeneous server device. A computing system selects at least one prospective target platform component based on an evaluation of at least one source platform component, a requirement of the at least one source application, and a compatibility and an affinity of the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects first metadata of the at least one source platform component and the at least one prospective target platform component. The computing system collects second metadata associated with the migration and consolidation. The computing system groups the first metadata and the second metadata into a RFM (Request For Migration). The computing system prepares and configures a final target platform in accordance with the RFM.
