Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a user interface uniting two primary components, a list view and a reading pane, within a message reading application. Technologies are also described for synchronizing status and parameters between the two primary user interface components. In particular, a user interface for reading messages can represent all components of a conversation with both a list view for presenting a message map, and a reading pane for presenting a content view. The list view can present a list of messages grouped by conversation. The reading pane window can contain smaller windows or frames. Each of the smaller windows or frames can contain a message within a given conversation. Synchronization provided between the list view and a reading pane can allow message selection in one of the user interface components to cause display and selection of the corresponding message in the other user interface component.

Abstract: Techniques for the aggregate and hierarchical display of grouped items spanning multiple storage locations are described. Some techniques may aggregate items in response to user input identifying a scope for item retrieval. The user input may identify a scope such as selection of a local storage location or a search query for retrieving items. The aggregated items may span multiple storage locations and include items within the identified scope and related items outside the identified scope. A group of aggregated items are presented in a hierarchical display within a user interface. The hierarchical display may visually differentiate items inside and outside of the identified scope, and may identify parent-child relationship between related items. An aggregate header for the group of aggregated items may be displayed indicating total items in the group and a status for items in the group within the identified scope. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating article is provided, including a nicotine powder receptacle containing a dose of nicotine powder; a corrugated inner wrapper wrapped around the nicotine powder receptacle; an outer wrapper wrapped around the corrugated inner wrapper; at least one airflow inlet upstream of the nicotine powder receptacle; and at least one airflow outlet downstream of the nicotine powder receptacle, wherein corrugations in the corrugated inner wrapper define a plurality of airflow channels in fluid communication with the at least one airflow inlet and the at least one airflow outlet.

Abstract: An action framework system provides context-based actions in association with a source application. The source application detects selection of a content element presented by the source application. The content element is associated with an application identifier identifying a target application and an action identifier identifying an operation to be executed by the target application on the content element. The target application identified by the application identifier is executed to perform the operation identified by the action identifier on the content element, responsive to detection of the selection of the content element. In one implementation, the source application is a search feature providing different contexts of search results (e.g., from a local file system search, a local application content search, a Web search, a remote application content search).

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure, in one aspect, relate to composites including a carbon nanomaterial having a redox-active material, such as a polymer containing redox groups, disposed on the carbon nanomaterial, methods of making the composite, methods of storing energy, and the like.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating system is provided, including a nicotine source; a volatile delivery enhancing compound source, wherein a volatile delivery enhancing compound comprises an acid; and a heating means for heating one or both of the nicotine source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source, wherein one or both of the nicotine source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source is encapsulated in a cylindrical polymeric capsule, and the cylindrical polymeric capsule includes a thermally conductive material.

Abstract: A method for triaging a respondent includes: providing a quality of life related query to the respondent; receiving a response to the query; determining the response was indicative of a person potentially suffering from disorder sleep; providing information regarding disorder sleep; providing a demographic related query; receiving a response to the demographic related query; determining a particular demographic group for which the respondent should be associated; providing a symptom related query based on the particular demographic group; receiving a response to the symptom related query; determining the response was indicative that the respondent suffers from the symptom; determining a disease that corresponds to the symptom; providing information regarding the disease; determining the respondent's location; and providing information related to a sleep expert near the respondent's location.

Abstract: Automatic conversation techniques are described. An apparatus may comprise a computing device having an incoming message module operative to receive an incoming message, a conversation identification module communicatively coupled to the incoming message module, the conversation identification module operative to determine the incoming message is part of a conversation thread, and associate the incoming message with the conversation thread by setting a conversation identifier property of the incoming message to a conversation identifier for the conversation thread, and a conversation manager module communicatively coupled to the conversation identification module, the conversation manager module operative to determine a conversation rule is associated with the conversation thread, and apply the conversation rule to the incoming message. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for management of linked contact records containing information from multiple source records. User interfaces and methodologies for displaying and managing a linked contact record of a contact allow the linked contact record to be readily and selectively managed. A user can interact with a user interface in order to selectively add, remove, and re-store links to a linked contact record of a contact.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for creating and editing dynamic graphics via a World Wide Web (“Web”) interface. A Web service is provided for generating dynamic graphics in response to requests received from client computers. In response to requests from client computers, the Web service generates requested dynamic graphics and returns the generated dynamic graphics to the client computers in response to the requests. Parameters may be provided to the Web service indicating a list of text items, a layout type, a visual style, a color, and other aspects of a dynamic graphic. A user interface is also provided for creating and editing a dynamic graphic within a Web browser application.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing multi-modal communication through modal-specific interfaces. In one method, a communication in a first modality is received from a first interface across a computer network. The communication is converted into a second modality. Upon converting the communication into the second modality, the communication is provided to a second interface across the computer network.
