Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a direct-lit backlight unit. The backlight unit may include an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on a printed circuit board. The display may have a notch to accommodate an input-output component. Reflective layers may be included in the notch. The backlight may include a color conversion layer with a property that varies as a function of position. The light-emitting diodes may be covered by a slab of encapsulant with recesses in an upper surface.

Abstract: Atlasing and virtual surface techniques are described. In one or more implementations, virtual surface functionality is exposed by an operating system for access by one or more applications of the computing device. A virtual surface is created in response to a request from the one or more applications to be used to render visuals for display by a display device. The virtual surface is allocated in memory of the computing device by the exposed virtual surface functionality to have an area that is larger than an area to be used to display the visuals from the one or more applications.

Abstract: A technique for generating content for a stereo 3D display buffer having both stereo 3D graphic objects and non-stereo 3D graphic objects that may be utilized to render stereo 3D content onto one or more windows of a display. The technique incorporates content from stereo 3D application frame buffers into a composition tree that represents the graphic objects in each window displayed on a computing device. At each refresh cycle, the composition tree is traversed to generate content for a stereo 3D display buffer that is then used to draw one or more windows onto a display.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a salt of quaternary ammonium of an acid drug in the form of a suspension or an emulsion, suitable for parenteral administration and providing a sustained release of the drug. In one preferred embodiment, the present invention is directed to a long term sustained release composition for parenteral administration, comprising a salt of heparin or low molecular weight heparin in an emulsion with a salt of acylcholine, for the prevention and treatment of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Abstract: A hair dyeing process which utilizes a hair dye in combination with a heat application means. By applying heat to a person's head, immediately after the dye has been applied, the hair can be quickly and efficiently dyed and hair damage is minimized. The heat application means (12) is disclosed in five designs: the first utilizes a conventional, hand-held, hot-air blower (14) in combination with a plastic head cap (18) such as a shower cap (20); the second utilizes the plastic head cap (16) having attached a light flexible hose (24) that is connected to a heat source (26); the third consists of a hot, moistened towel (32); the fourth consists of a corded, electric heating pad (40); the fifth consists of a cordless heating pad (42) that has inserted a multiplicity of heat absorbing elements (50). When the pad (42) is heated in a microwave oven the elements (50) allow the pad (42) to retain heat for an extended period of time.
