Abstract: The present application relates to a system for managing access to medical data, comprising a first module which displays data request information for requesting access to the medical data from the data provider, and a second module which obtains the data request information from the first module and requests access to the medical data from a data provider based on the obtained data request information. The first module can provide the data request information by Patient Physician displaying the data request information, for example as a quick-response (QR) code. The data request information may comprise a uniform resource locator (URL) linking to the data provider. The data provider can store the medical data locally or can retrieve the medical data from a remote source, such as a personal health record (PHR) server.

Abstract: A presentation program provides a graphical user interface that includes a theme gallery and a theme variation gallery. Users can apply a theme to a slide by selecting a theme thumbnail image. Once selected, a corresponding set of theme variations are indicated in the theme variation gallery using theme variation thumbnail images. Users can apply the desired theme variation by selecting the theme variation thumbnail image. Once selected, the theme variation is applied to the slide. A theme variation family identifier is stored in the slide file that allows subsequent identification of the theme, and allows a presentation program to subsequently identify theme variations for display on the theme variation gallery. A file structure is identified that allows backwards compatibility so that a presentation file of a slide with theme variations can be opened by an earlier version of a presentation program that does not implement theme variations.

Abstract: A domain authority 13 for use in a hierarchy of domain authorities in a hierarchical cryptographic system. The domain authority 13 comprises a user secret key generator 21 for generating a user secret key based on a domain secret key and one or more attribute representations, to obtain a user secret key associated with a set of attributes corresponding to the attribute representations, and wherein the domain secret key is based on a domain secret key of a parent domain authority or a root secret key of a root authority of the hierarchy of domain authorities, and wherein the attribute representations are independent of the hierarchy. A decrypter makes use of the user secret key. An encrypter generates ciphertext decryptable by the decrypter.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein address the need for a single wire bus interface. In one aspect, a device communicates with a second device via a single wire bus using a driver for driving the bus with a write frame comprising a start symbol, a write indicator symbol, an address, and data symbols. In another aspect, the device receives one or more data symbols on the single wire bus during a read frame. In yet another aspect, a device communicates with a second device via a single wire bus using a receiver for receiving a frame on the single wire bus comprising a start symbol, a write indicator symbol, an address, and one or more data symbols, and a driver for driving return read data associated with the address when the write indicator identifies a write frame. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects provide for communication on a single wire bus, which allows for a reduction in pins, pads, or inter-block connections between devices.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for converting presentations between differing slide dimensions and aspect ratios. A scaling factor is calculated from the difference between the original dimensions of the slide and the new dimensions of the converted slide. Next, the content objects on the slide are scaled based on the scaling factor such that the aspect ratio of the content object is maintained. Finally, the content objects are repositioned on the slide in order to maintain a relative distance between the position of the content object and the center of the slide.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for converting presentations between differing slide dimensions and aspect ratios. During dimensional conversion of a slide, foreground objects placed on the slide by a user are dimensionally scaled and repositioned on the slide based on a change in the overall dimensions of the slide, while background objects on the slide originating from a slide master associated with the slide are replaced with corresponding background objects from a new template associated with the new aspect ratio of the slide. Any content and/or properties of the old background objects on the slide are copied to the corresponding background objects on the dimensionally converted slide.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for converting presentations between differing slide dimensions and aspect ratios. A scaling factor is calculated from the difference between the original dimensions of the slide and the new dimensions of the converted slide. Next, the content objects on the slide are scaled based on the scaling factor such that the aspect ratio of the content object is maintained. A horizontal position zone and vertical position zone is determined for each content object on the slide, and new coordinates for the position of the content objects are calculated utilizing formulas based on the horizontal position zone and a vertical position zone determined for each.
