Publication number: 20240012548Abstract: A computing system operates to associate a layout logic with a plurality of object that are rendered on a canvas of a user device, where the plurality of objects include a parent object and multiple child objects contained within the parent object. The multiple child objects can be arranged to have a first collective span in a first axial direction and a second collective span in a second axial direction. In response to a first input, the computer system automatically implements the layout logic by (i) changing a dimension of the parent object in each of the first axial direction and second axial direction, and (ii) rearranging the multiple child objects within the parent object to change the first collective span and the second collective span.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Yi Tang Jackie Chui, Shreya Sudarshana, Brian Schlenker, Molly Lloyd, Shirley Miao, Rachel Miller, Marcin Wichary, Sho Kuwamoto

Publication number: 20100255550Abstract: The production of transgenic plant oils is described by transfecting plant host cells with heterologous transcription inducers. Such inducers are specific for endogenous biosynthetic plant oil genes, such that the inducers induce an overexpression of the plant oil genes. The overexpressed gene product (i.e., for example, diacylglycerol transferase) thereby results in a increased intracellular production of a plant oil (i.e., for example, triacylglycerol). In one embodiment, the transfected plant host cell can be a plant algae species (i.e., for example, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2009Publication date: October 7, 2010Inventors: CHRISTOPH BENNING, RACHEL MILLER, ERIC R.
