Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward printing of digital images with increased efficiency and ease. In particular, one or more embodiments provide an image printing system that allows a user to print images from a mobile or other device without having to upload a high-resolution version of the digital images to a print vendor. More specifically, one or more embodiments of the image printing system allow users to store images on a remote server or in a cloud storage space. When the users desire to print physical copies of the digital images, the image printing system can provide the digital images to a print vendor without requiring the users to upload the images to the print vendor from the users' own device.

Abstract: A method is illustrated that comprises receiving at least two states, each state including at least one object with an associated property. Further, the method includes comparing each object of each state to produce a set of differences between states. Additionally, the method includes defining a transition based upon the set of differences.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a high quality bulk single crystal of silicon carbide in a seeded growth system by reducing the separation between a silicon carbide seed crystal and a seed holder until the conductive heat transfer between the seed crystal and the seed holder dominates the radiative heat transfer between the seed crystal and the seed holder over substantially the entire seed crystal surface that is adjacent the seed holder.

Abstract: A joint is provided for connecting two or more armoured panels of a modular protection structure. The joint has an elongate body, a first channel extending along and within the elongate body, for receiving an edge of one of the armoured panels, and a second channel extending along and within the elongate body, for receiving an edge of another armoured panel. One or more armoured strike plates are provided which substantially cover an area between the edge of the armoured panel which is received within the first channel and the edge of the armoured panel which is received within the second channel. This makes it easy to join two armoured panels, for example by slotting them into the first and second channels of the joint. An armoured strike plate is provided as part of the joint to inhibit ballistic leakage through the area of the joint between the armoured panels.

Abstract: A method for controlled growth of silicon carbide and structures produced by the method are disclosed. A crystal of silicon carbide (SiC) can be grown by placing a sacrificial substrate in a growth zone with a source material. The source material may include a low-solubility impurity. SiC is then grown on the sacrificial substrate to condition the source material. The sacrificial substrate is then replaced with the final substrate, and SiC is grown on the final substrate. A single crystal of silicon carbide is produced, wherein the crystal of silicon carbide has substantially few micropipe defects. Such a crystal may also include a substantially uniform concentration of the low-solubility impurity, and may be used to make wafers and/or SiC die.

Abstract: A high quality single crystal wafer of SiC is disclosed having a diameter of at least about 100 mm and a micropipe density of less than about 25 cm?2.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that facilitate the simulation of runtime interactivity and other changes for computer content within a content creation environment. Certain embodiments, allow interactivity and changes, such as animations and navigation, to be simulated at design time without leaving the design application, and in some cases within a same component display. Certain embodiments add a runtime simulation feature to a creation environment that conceptually allows the creator to interact with components displayed as if the creator were using “the user's hand.” Clicking a button, for example, allows the creator to observe how the button responds at runtime. Certain embodiments thus allow a creator to quickly move back and forth between design and simulated running to facilitate the creation and testing of many types of content involving interactivity and other changes.

Abstract: Internet access or connectivity is determined by sending a request to a third-party service to which connectivity is desired with an application on a client computing device and responsive to receiving a response, attempting to rule out a false positive response from an entity other than the third-party service.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide an intelligent adaptive content canvas that can enable users to access content, such as photos and videos, and consume the content in an adaptive environment that tailors the user experience in accordance with various parameters. The user experience is personalized to the user and is adaptively predictive in a manner that attempts to surface content that the user would likely wish to consume.

Abstract: Embodiments allow a runtime environment to link to an editing environment. An object or other feature may be identified for editing in a runtime environment using a specific tool or gesture. Given an identified object, an appropriate source object and/or editing application may be identified and the editing application may be launched for editing the identified object or source object. Similarly, given an identified state, an editing application may be launched to provide the application for editing in the identified state. In some cases, after any editing of an application feature, the runtime environment receives and incorporates the edited feature. The user then sees the revised features in the runtime without having to re-launch and manually return to the specific application state, object, or other feature that was edited. The ability to edit the features of a running application provides various benefits and can facilitate testing of an application's features.

Abstract: A development application can be configured to facilitate editing multiple fragments already associated with an interface design simultaneously using a graphic design application, with the fragments arranged in a logical form supported by the graphic design application. The logical form of the artwork fragments as provided to the graphic design application can correspond to the relationship between different elements of the interface design using the respective fragments. Fragments may correspond to different components, parts of components, and part states, for instance. A method can comprise accessing data defining an interface component and comprising a plurality of logically arranged elements of the component. The method can comprise extracting the artwork and arranging the artwork into a form compatible with a graphic design application. The artwork can be edited in a graphic design application and then re-integrated into the data defining the design elements of the interface after editing is complete.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for filtering the set of object features of a user interface and presenting the filtered set of object features for display on a display device associated with a computer system. In one example, the system generates transition timeline data for state transitions in the user interface and filters the transition timeline data as a function of a state of the user interface to generate a filtered list of transitions for display of a transition timeline. The filtering is a function of a state of the user interface.

Further, the method includes comparing each object of each state to produce a set of differences between states. Additionally, the method includes defining a transition based upon the set of differences.
