Abstract: A system and method for sharing data between devices are provided. A source device detects one or more receiving devices that are operated in a mode to receive data from the source device. The source device detects a user action that signifies intent of a user to transmit data to the one or more receiving devices. In response to detecting the user action, the source device identifies data that is in a state designated to be transmitted. The identified content is transmitted to the one or more receiving devices.

Abstract: Examples disclose a computing device comprising a processor to receive handwriting data from an electronic writing instrument describing written content provided on a surface off-screen from a display. Further, the examples provide the processor to analyze the handwriting data to determine an annotation corresponding to a portion of the written content. Additionally, the examples also disclose a display on the computing device to render the annotation at a position spatially related to a position of the portion of written content on the writing surface.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to the provision of keyboard shortcuts that are mapped to a physical keyboard. In example embodiments, a user interface including a plurality of selectable UI elements is outputted. A plurality of keyboard shortcuts may then be outputted, such that each keyboard shortcut corresponds to a key on a physical keyboard and the shortcuts are spatially arranged in a layout corresponding to a layout of the keyboard. A selection of a particular key may then be received and, in response, the UI element positioned at the location of the keyboard shortcut corresponding to the selected key may be activated.

Abstract: A handheld device having a display and a front-facing sensor and a back-facing sensor is able to render 3D content in a realistic and spatially correct manner using position-dependent rendering and view-dependent rendering. In one scenario, the 3D content is only computer-generated content and the display on the device is a typical, non-transparent (opaque) display. The position-dependent rendering is performed using either the back-facing sensor or a front-facing sensor having a wide-angle lens. In another scenario, the 3D content is composed of computer-generated 3D content and images of physical objects and the display is either a transparent or semi-transparent display where physical objects behind the device show through the display. In this case, position-dependent rendering is performed using a back-facing sensor that is actuated (capable of physical panning and tilting) or is wide-angle, thereby enabling virtual panning.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transformant for inhibiting glycerol production through deletion of glycerol producing genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae modified so as to use glycerol as a fermentation source, or enhancing bioethanol production through overexpression of TATA-binding proteins, SPT3 and SPT15, and a method for producing ethanol by using the transformant.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a control door for an air conditioner. The control door includes a door panel that includes a plurality of discharge apertures, and is located around a vent of a housing of the air conditioner and is configured to slide to close and open the vent via the discharge apertures. A take-up shaft is disposed on each of opposite sides of the vent of the housing of the air conditioner, each of opposite ends of the door panel is wound onto the take-up shaft. The control door further includes a drive part configured to transmit a rotating force to the take-up shaft, to allow the door panel to slide around the vent of the housing of the air conditioner.

Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus includes an air conditioning housing and a mode door. The air conditioning housing has a discharge chamber through which conditioned air is discharged out of the air conditioning housing. The discharge chamber includes a defrost vent, a main vent, floor vents and a rear seat vent. The floor vents are formed on opposite sides of a rear portion of the air conditioning housing. The rear seat vent is formed between the floor vents. The mode door has a front opening hole which is formed in a front portion of the mode door, a pair of main opening holes which are formed in a rear portion of the mode door at positions spaced apart from each other, and a rear-end opening hole which is formed behind a first portion provided between the main opening holes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an air extractor grille. The air extractor grille includes a grille body and a grille cover. The grille body includes a plurality of openable flaps which are arranged vertically in a successive order in a vehicle body inside a rear bumper. The grille cover covers at least a portion of the grille body. The grille cover has a plurality of vent slots formed in a front surface of the grille cover and arranged vertically in a successive order as well. A block plate is bent from a lower end of each of the vent slots in such a way that the block plate protrudes outwards, thus preventing the vent slot from being directly exposed to the outside. Therefore, when the flaps open, foreign substances are prevented from directly entering the interior of the vehicle through the flaps.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to generating a combined image of a presentation surface.

Next, the digital version of the content displayed on the presentation surface is retrieved from the location specified by the location identifier. Finally, a combined image is generated by combining the captured image and the retrieved digital version of the content displayed on the presentation surface.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a keyboard-based system that enables a user to provide touch input via the keyboard with one hand and typed input via the keyboard with the other hand.
