Abstract: A method and a system are for calculating an output from a tomographic scrollable image stack, including a large number of generated sectional images of a tissue to be examined. In this context, a tomographic scrollable image stack is received. An output for a display is calculated. The output includes a primary image that is intended for representing the received image stack, and the output includes a secondary image with additional information. The secondary image is displayed overlaid on the primary image once an unhide signal or hide signal is received. In this context, a reference may be provided between the additional information of the secondary image and the slice of tissue for examination that is shown in the sectional image of the image stack.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for configuring a group of displays. A grouping of display devices that are to be combined to form an integrated display is identified. A prompt is generated for user input indicative of a spatial arrangement of the display devices. In response to the prompt, a series of user inputs is received by one or more input sensors. Based on the series of user inputs, the spatial arrangement of the display devices is estimated. Based on the estimated spatial arrangement of the display devices, portions of display data are mapped to the display devices. The mapped portions of the display data are rendered on the display devices to form an integrated display.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for providing a system to facilitate efficient management and prioritization of conversations, such as emails, in a communication application. Conversations may be prioritized according to user preferences, and an inbox may be rearranged to display important conversations in a user defined order. Conversations may also be associated together so that they may appear together and flow together in the inbox. Additionally, the system may enable a user to delay display of a conversation until a later time based on various criteria such as location, time, and client device. A user may also move important emails to the top of an inbox for prominent display. The system may perform the actions automatically based on observed user behavior. Furthermore, the system may enable touch interactions for interacting with and managing the conversations, and quick controls may be provided for executing commands to perform actions associated with the conversations.
