  • Patent number: 10733710
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for beautifying raw drawing data include a beautification engine having a raw data processor that receives the drawing data and identifies a set of segments in the data. A beautification director constructs a structural representation of the set of segments data that specifies a topological relationship between the segments. A single primitive beautifier identifies a segment in the structural representation to be beautified and a single primitive beautification action is applied to the segment to generate beautified raw drawing data. A multiple primitive beautifier identifies adjacent segments in the structural representation to be beautified and a multiple beautification action is applied to the adjacent segments to generate further beautified drawing data.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180181245
    Abstract: A computing system includes a capacitive touch-display including a plurality of touch-sensing pixels, a digitizer configured to generate one or more capacitive grid maps, and an operating system. Each capacitive grid map includes a capacitance value for each of the plurality of touch-sensing pixels. The controller may be configured to receive the one or more capacitive grid maps directly from the digitizer, identify one or more touch inputs based on the one or more capacitive grid maps, and determine a dominant hand of a user based on the one or more touch inputs.

  • Patent number: 9734158
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata, searchable text, and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. Search data from the placeholders is integrated into a local search database of the client such that the client is able to satisfy queries and identify relevant local and remote file system objects even when the client is offline with respect to remote storage.
