  • Publication number: 20160048294
    Abstract: Direct access application representation techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a user interface is exposed by an operating system of a computing device. The user interface includes a concurrent display of a plurality of representations of applications that are selectable by a user to launch respective applications, at least one of the plurality of representations includes a concurrent display of a plurality of user-selectable targets for a respective application, and each of the plurality of user-selectable targets is selectable by a user to obtain direct access to a respective one of a plurality of application functionality of the respective application. Responsive to an input indicative of user selection of one of the plurality of user-selectable targets of the at least one representation of the respective application, the direct access is provided to the respective one of the plurality of application functionality of the respective application.

  • Publication number: 20150315056
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for thickening or dehydrating sludge, which includes at least: a) a step of adding flocculants to the sludge to be treated; b) a step of flocculation by agitation of the sludge with the flocculants thus added in order to form a mixture of flocks and an aqueous solution; c) a step of mechanical separation of the flocks and the aqueous solution formed during the preceding step; d) a step of recovering the aqueous solution and the flocks that make up a treated sludge; wherein: the added flocculants are made up of at least one cationic starch (A) and at least one cationic polyacrylamide (P); the cationic starch or starches (A) including a fixed weight percentage of nitrogen of at least 2%; and the weight ratio (R) mA/(mA+mP), expressed as solids, is included between 0.6 and 0.99.
